Well you can't blame the stories to be honest, blame the mangas. I've seen this time and time again mangas always cut a lot of stuff out from the light novel. The light novels normally cover up major of the "plot holes". Idk what it is with mangas and anime because the same can be said for Tokyo ghoul and Tokyo ghoul re anime. The manga gave everything and was COMPLETED when they made the anime and they STILL BUTCHED IT. They still left stuff out when the could have made it much longer and more detailed.
Maybe it's just the adoptation is the problem
From Light novels to mangas
Mangas to anime
They almost always leave important stuff out.
yea def the manga cuts from the light novel and the anime cuts from the manga or dosnt have good animation
like shuumatsu no valkyrie it's a bomb manga but the animation ruined like 90% of the anime
but shojo does have a plot hole prob and a proplem of always making the fl dumber for the ml
not to mention how lit every male lead have dark blue or black hair and has the same ish personality type
but i dont think any of that can cover the mls badonk of a personality
ok ok hear me out why did she just tell her father that man threatened her even if the father cant protect her too much from the siblings he can protect the name of the royal family from out siders srsly i dont like how there putting plot holes for the ml
but like shojo stories have a problem with always making plot holes for the ml like making the fl dumber compared to them or when near them to let them shine and stuff to sum it up shojos arent always the most plot focused more about drama and emotions kinda pisses me off dhw cuz if they corrected that and cared about the plot so many stories would be better
