Most of Amphoreus was just a shill slop and then we got all relevant info at once in like 10 minutes. And how fucking long did it take to get there? How much pointless filler bullshit that we had to sit through?
I already had issues with the pacing in Penacony being hurt by the various red herring distractions but Amphoreus drip-feeding and probably backloading the only parts of the plot that are important has me genuinely pissed off at the level of filler. Amphoreus would be about 8000x better if each patch covered the same amount of plot but was half the length and cut the pointless filler. The problem with Amphoreus isn't the payoff, it's that it has really awful setup and has pacing problems with how they try to sell you the banner character's sob story. Only Cipher has been remotely successful in incorporating her story into the central narrative. The reason Amphoreus was called a filler planet in the beginning is because it completely fails to setup the central conflict and reason why we're here. March was only recently unfrozen and we got maybe 0.001% of the storyline dedicated to her. THerta and her hijinks comprise 90% of the relevant information for Amphoreus but 0.1% of the storyline.
I have read VNs like Umineko/Higurashi (which is like 150-180 hours for each series), FSN, Tsukihime, Fata Morgana, etc. All of them are much longer than Amphoreus is, but they all keep me hooked. The words are straight to the point and easily followed, the plot is constantly moving and even the "yapping, slice of life" parts are told in a way that feels light and not tiring, the writing techniques (foreshadowing, metaphor, repetition, etc) are effectively utilized and never overused pretentiously.
Amphoreus doesn't have as many insane twists as some of the above series, yet the way it presents the story is so so long, tiring and dragging down. It would be me trying to reach the word count in my essay. So many words, so little meaning it conveys.
