I’ll be honest, I don’t mind not being the center of attention, but things need to be justified. For better or worse, the WoL defeated the greatest threat in the universe single-handedly. There are certain situations where it doesn’t make sense for the WoL to just stand by and watch—it goes against their very nature.

What really bothered me, though, was the lack of character development with Wuk Lamat. She’s described as a princess who’s never left Tuliyollal, to the point that she doesn’t even know her own people. And yet, the way they handled her "growth" was frustratingly shallow—she gets everything handed to her on a silver platter, without struggle, without learning that failure is an essential part of growth.

She needed to fail. Because it’s through failure that we learn and grow, but instead, she breezed through every challenge, and in some cases, the solutions were outright ridiculous. It felt like she was succeeding just because the story needed her to, not because she earned it.

A perfect example of this is the final fight with Sphene. What irritated me wasn’t that someone broke the barrier and joined the fight—it was who broke it. Are you seriously telling me that Wuk Lamat is stronger or more capable than G’raha Tia, who has all the knowledge of the Crystal Exarch? That makes no sense. G’raha is incredibly powerful and intelligent, and it’s completely unrealistic to portray her as having the strength or knowledge to surpass him, especially given how immature she still was at that point.
