And even after that, as I can see in the VOD that was linked from before the timestamp, she tried to hold back a lot until that point.

Also, I didn't know that, but apparently she has a degree in creative writing. Which probably means not only it's something she must be very interested it, but it must make the story issues even more apparent to her.
Even a casual writer could see that they immediately committed one of the cardinal sins of bad writing. You NEVER replace or sideline the Main Character with a brand new character until that character is established. You do not establish a new character at the expense of the character or characters your readers have gotten comfortable with. That is bad writing 101.
