Happened with Zero-One, happened with Saber, happened with Revice, it's probably gonna happen with Geats. When's the cycle gonna break?

SEMI-RELATEDLY for me is the inability of fans (KR or otherwise) to be like, "Why doesn't this character understand this thing!?" and forget that we the audience are privy and have access to information that the characters would not have or be able to make connections with at the moment (i.e., people calling Ace stupid for not being able to make the connection between his mother being the Goddess of Creation), and then write it off as bad character writing instead of the very reasonable "we know and understand things that they don't".
Another controversial one, though not related to the previous one too much. I think that Keiwa's character arc makes perfect sense. We've seen that he's much more cynical than most 'idealistic' characters, and that he isn't some perfect good guy. He has his own selfish moments which is normal for even the kindest person (as he's very invested in keeping his only remaining immediate relative alive), and that not everyone will be able to handle/get 'stronger' from immense tragedy, and will even potentially engage in the worst aspects of their personalities to try and cope.
A more controversial one I feel like would be that I think Keiwa being "sidelined" during the Lamentation to Yearning arcs actually helped instill the idea that he's "powerless" compared to Ace's 2000 years of experience and Michinaga's sheer determination and ruthless. Like he's powerless even to take the spotlight from Michinaga who "usurps" his position as the deuteragonist for those arcs. And him getting beaten down by various events really help show that as much as he's gotten stronger and more skilled, that he's still outmatched by those two.
