Honestly the early chapters could use a rewrite. I remember anons mentioned they are intended to be rewritten though I am not sure how true that is. And how long it’d take since there are that whole mess in Qingying’s chapter.
That said, the early plot lacked proper worldbuilding on the setting itself (which oddly the original Beta of snowbreak had when it delved how their world was recovering from Juvosis) and the early plot rides on running left and right seeking the Brísingamen. I don’t even remember if we found that thing since it disappeared from the plot altogether.
Concorde Ode actually did something really right by showing the pre-Valkyrie games Adjutant running around with Luna and the teases with the other girls that would appear later. Makes me hopeful the rewrite is nearby.
