I just don't see how it is at all necessary to have A to have scenes B, C and D. Some minor tweaks and they can all fit in naturally and we wouldn't have to deal with such detestable characters. Some stories need a good villain, my problem is that this story has never needed them, they've always felt shoved in. I can take the boys at the school as sufficient villainy for the story, a back and forth revenge pranks style storyline would be more than at home in this kind of story, but a sex trafficking ring? A detestable criminal vying for a political position?.. Wtf does a bunch of school girls going on risky exhibitions in public have to do with that? I accepted it in the first season cause it kiiiind of worked, the ending was complete bullshit but it's fiction so whatever and i was over the moon thinking that was it, season 2 would be all the good and none of the bad, and then you went and shoved Bernt into the story and all along i've just been low-key grumbling about it, every time he's in-scene and it's like 'why the fuck am i reading this, get back to the good characters and their shenanigans." but now you've gone and torn Rei up in such a forced and contrived way and i just don't get it, i don't get why you feel this needed to exist, why this was the right path, how are your players meant to enjoy this? Is anyone giddy upon seeing a new update in the latest section and their first thought is "by golly i can't wait to see what Bernt has been up to, i hope he hurts the girls so i can experience hating him even more!"...
