So she has a time ghost yandere doppleganger whose influence is making her fall in love with Menou-chan. I'm re-sold, I take it all back again. I love this now.
Tbh, I was so impressed by the reveal that Akari's superpowered evil side is actually her own consciousness from a messed-up future that I, too, had been about to void my earlier gripes with this manga. But then I let the emotional high subside a little and realized that while this one idea was kinda cool, the story as a whole is still a mess. The villain is still monologuing and bragging at the heroine for no smart reason; the other heroine can now pull an "I win" card out of her ass whenever the author needs a deus ex machina, with no limit or consequence that we know of so far; and the dragon fight is still a delaying tactic that doesn't even get cool action scenes anymore.
I think you yourself put it best earlier when you said, "the author is just telling us about these cool ideas they thought up rather than designing the story for readers". The yandere-me-from-the-future is just that -- a cool idea that has not yet been well-integrated into the narrative.
Welp, the series just went off the deep end. Can anyone in Japan write a plot where a pseudo-Catholic church does not turn out to be led by evil old folks? I dunno, just for the sheer shock factor.
That would shatter suspension of disbelief, even for wildcats like me
Understandable.
