The story of Wuk Lamat was not horrendous to where she should've been deleted, but rather rushed in my opinion. Her growth was too quick and she didn't need to be everywhere but at the same time, she did since she was now a co-ruler of her country. I feel that Erenville is not a main character enough worth going into and good with what we got outside of the piss poor attitude of his mom near the end. Krile should've been fleshed out more, I agree. On the other hand, the scions have overstayed their welcome and are boring/predictable.
The point of about Lyse is that she came off as being the focus but was extremely poorly written compared to Wuk Lamat and DT overall. The only good party about Lyse is that she didn't overstay her welcome in the story and stepped aside. The whole Stormblood story mediocre and had barely anything worth remembering outside of Gotetsu saving Yotsuyu and taking care of her until in 4.3 she becomes Tsukuyomi and dies. The rest of subpar in my opinion.
You're point of someone being born into the USA and 20 years later not know what Thanksgiving was is mediocre analogy. It would be more like a 20-year-old US Citizen going for whatever part of the government and not knowing anything about the citizens they are representing (go figure that's most of our government in the USA anyways lol). The said 20-year-old would spend time learning about all the cultures in the USA.
