My problem is that she's just a tool. While she's cunning and manipulative, ultimately, it's just "Master Logos" this and "Brother" that.

Watching her feels like I'm watching a less interesting version of Blades' literal character arc. Choosing between the Guild and what she feels is right, except she only begins to feel the slightest bit of doubt 20 episodes later than she should have.

Oh, I replied like that before in response to you mentioning her as "horrible person" part. Didn't know if your complaint is different in her being a tool (this sounds similar to Yua from Zero-One instead, though Reika never got this unlike Yua). Well I guess this is lowkey related to her being her brothers' "simp" as well to blindly follow anything he does, like below.

Ryoga IS kinda the evil counterpart of Rintaro. Ryoga follows orders without question, blindly believes that Master Logos will is inherently just and doubt is weakness, making him someone who is subservient and can't be reasoned or bargained with. Rintaro cares about SoL for the principles it stands for, so SoL's actions would conflict with his conscience when their work don't fit for what he stands for, it's a contradiction to think that having no doubt is the same as believing more.
