The Reason Zenos.

[Kallera]

I think my biggest problem I have with zenos is that he regularly seems to be scoring own goals in the favor of the protagonists’ side, and his goal—a rematch with more divine puppets that we just so happen to be skilled at killing, just isn’t interesting to me as it has only one outcome, he loses against us.

I find that Zenos is not only just boring, but detrimental to the story, as a villain is literally paving the way of the heroes’ victory, just for the fight at the end which, while exciting for him, is not exciting for me, as it only has one true outcome, his defeat, as he time and again just forfeits his victories and acts against his allies. Zenos’ railroading ultimately serves not even himself.
