So it’s a stupider erosion of Emminence in Shadow.
The rushed pacing is a concern. It’d have been interesting to watch the kids grow into Blue Moon assassins. Also the MC directly interacting with the kids wouldn’t need to bepervy. Influence directly focused could have positive outcomes in preventing the kids from growing into monsters. I’d notwant to leave their development up to chance. Seeing the MC juggle their interactions from the shadows while dealing with his villainous brothers would have been a good story potentially.
We will see where this goes but it definitely feels like we rushed though some good storytelling.
