The start of this was so good and interesting but now it's so messy. Too many things happening in too little time. I do rlly like garnet and amethysts storyline but the pacing of this whole story is getting super rushed. Idk I really had high hopes for this esp cos it's so unique

    I think they spent too long on the filler episodes of the broadcast gem storyline, so bringing the story back to the true plot feels sloppy. For example, they should’ve gone into the orthera storyline, moon owl background as a manufactured scapegoat and the cruelty of the imperial family when moon own first brought up the mermaid story at the dinner table. Also, gradual moments of showing how the imperial family controlled media and what the people believed to be truth should’ve been foreshadowed more throughout the story.

    If they had focused on JUST the loeri/ moon owl and Marianne/ the very shady death of vyseris it would’ve made more sense with the overall plot of the imperial family. The egg story is CRAZY tho

    I also dunno what they're going for with the egg but they've repeatedly hinted at mermaids and ortera throughout the story, so maybe the egg is important for later.
