EPISODE REVIEWS

The political scheme plotline is incredibly basic and predictable. The villain designs are just lazy cliches, and the execution is so flat that it’s impossible to care about the "approaching danger" in the capital. Pure throwaway background noise. Womp womp

This episode shifts attention toward the political side of the story, and honestly, that's where the series feels a bit more alive. The brewing tension in the capital gives the plot some forward momentum, even if the execution remains uneven. Not exactly gripping, but it finally feels like pieces are starting to move.

Now, I understand why Brett has been frustrated with his brother. Brett has been emotional, while Allen is a very passive character. Allen isn't a bad character, just a bad MC. Like always, there is no context behind Allen's lack of interest and emotion. Why is he like that?
