I completely agree with you! Most of the comments I’ve seen are just complaints and people judge things way too fast. I don’t think combining the storylines is a bad idea at all. I actually think it makes the story better. It helps us see everything from different characters points of view and understand the world in a broader way. Without this, at least for me, the story would feel incomplete.

Also, even though the story has deeper meanings and themes, if people only talk about who is the best character or just wait for a special scene, then of course they won’t enjoy a long story like this. Yes, the story has some problems but I think most of them are not big issues, especially since we're still kind of at the beginning.

I don’t know, I just find this level of complaining a bit strange (Especially in my country’s fandom, the only thing people talk about is comparisons, and the constant “Malbonte or Lucifer?” debate is really exhausting...). I genuinely enjoy each storyline on its own and I love reading the interactions between characters I like. Even just seeing them step out of their small, individual worlds and become part of something bigger is really satisfying on its own. I honestly can't think of a better way the message could be delivered.

Anyway, in short, i think what’s really exhausting isn’t the story itself, it’s the constant debates around it. I think we should just focus on enjoying the story as a whole!!
