Ghost, Saber and Gotchard was more of the producers' fault rather than the writers'
Ghost and Saber both had Takuro Fukuda as the main writer and Kazuhiro Takahashi as the producer, who's primarily a TV drama writer, with his Yabe Kenzo series on particular being really beloved. Ghost was meant to be a Showa-style surreal experimental show with more emphasis on horror, but after some soccer moms complained about Ghost's cameo in Surprise Future, Takahashi walked back on the idea and toned down the show, this caused a myriad of problems since the show had already started filming but Takahashi had the staff partially refilm the first 4 episodes which caused some filming schedule issues in the first quarter of the show. According to the show's pilot director Satoshi Morota, Ghost's setting got reset about 3 times during production. For some unexplained reason Fukuda hardly wrote episodes for the show, only returning for the episodes that retained ideas from the show's original pre-production plan which were Alain's and Adonis' arc, while he left all of the show actual world building to the summer movie and V-Cinema. Most of the show ended up being written by Keiichi Hasegawa, he's the chief writer of Ultraman Dyna, the first half of Ultraman Nexus, Shingeki no Bahamut Genesis and SSSS Gridman/Dynazenon, he's also a recurring episode writer for Rider, for example he wrote Nazca's death in W, Weather's death in W Capricorn arc in Fourze, Tomari confronting Nira in Drive and the episode where Freeze kills Tomari in Drive. All in all a really consistently good writer, but for some reason his episodes for Ghost were the worst part of the show, it's speculated that it was because of the show not having a proper setting due to the production issues.
