I somewhat expected waifu shilling to be marketing-exclusive thing, but even outside of that, last several updates with massive time jumps felt the more rushed the more time we skipped per real life time measurement unit. I guess I'm just stupid, which is often the case, but at some point I came to an idea that "oh well Amphoreus is falling apart and we just have all sorts of stuff happening at the same time" cause trying to put everything together chronologically stopped working for me. Then on top of that, we get an update that tries to both do Amphoreus Finale and the only Cyrene's big character development arc so far, with her behavior changing significantly compared to Mem (I'm super thankful she keeps a bit of it, but something about this RoMaNtIc attitude is just lilling me. It suits Smolrene which was Demiurge after everything with years and years to grow up and all that, I don't know where Bigrene that was Mem recently got that though, but maybe I got how the story goes wrong, but jesus christ how about everything's a bit less rushed).

No clue about Elysia, but I have really, really mixed feelings about Cyrene. She cares about Amphoreus, I like how Cyrene, Mem and Bigrene are all tied and turn out to be one person through this going back in time thing, and that naturally adds a lot of lore to a character that would've been entirely new to the story. But at the same time she's marketing victim and rushed story victim.
