Yeah, I get that part and I can agree, I guess my point is more about doing something else rather than recycling the same yearly chain events. At this point we already expect them to happen and expect or hope that something interesting will happen in between, but most of it is very much pointless because they add nothing of value. I wont event pretend I have the answer to this and Sel is by far a much better writer than I am, I'm just saying it is reaching a point where -at least for me- it starts to feel repetitive.He actually needs them. They provide checkpoints to force a bunch of development to happen and then a bunch of time to pass which allows a new lot of content to happen. If it was limited to every event happens between every reset, you'll end up with either nonsensical event progression like CH4's Noriko giving Akira hope, then Osako making Akira more depressed mentioning the girl who cannot breathe. Or you get event trees so convoluted we'd keep having people asking for help because the Osako event is buried 13 events deep in branching pathways all pinned up by not calling Makoto in the afternoon.
