(The downplaying of the Final Days appears to play into this too as the characters act like surviving an apocalypse is no big deal and why can't everyone just move on from an extinction level event already?) Likewise, as was noted in a thread in Reddit (something I hadn't thought of until I saw others discussing it), if you had a mental illness you were absolutely screwed during the second coming of the Final Days. You'll turn into a blasphemy and your soul will be destroyed. It's only the mentally strong and healthy who'd survive. I doubt that was intentional, but it's just another thing they didn't take into consideration with their 'self help' narrative.

She's said in interviews she's stepping down from the MSQ and wants to leave it to the "junior writers", so your guess is as good as mine what that's going to mean going into the future.
