I know that, that's what I was trying to argue - Levia/Elluka is really obviously the overarching protagonist for everything pre-SoE as well as one of the protagonists of the Sloth arc (and as Nemesis, the protagonist of the Wrath arc). My problem is that anon is trying to present it as her being the only overarching protagonist at Allen's expense, even though Allen has been a central character since day 1 and is basically the overarching protagonist of the latter half of the series. Of course Evillious has multiple protagonists, it's too big to have only one single protagonist, my problem is people trying to downplay and ignore that Allen is one of the protagonists for the sake of bashing him and SoE content.

And I HAVE noticed a bit of a recurring problem where every time new SoE-related content comes out a certain subset of people start complaining and bashing it because it's SoE related regardless of what the content is or how plot relevant it is or - in this case - how much of it is something we've been waiting for answers on for years now. It happened when the Three Heroes album last year as well (even though all of the stuff revealed was genuinely new info that became relevant in JoC, and the Lucifen twins only showed up as cameos anyway), and I distinctly remember at least one person claim Rillianne showing up in the Envy novel was pandering (even though we should all know by now that mothy doesn't do pandering and was probably trying to set up a plot twist regarding endgame that - again - we have been waiting for years for).

I get being frustrated that the Story of Evil gets so much attention over other arcs, but do we really have to bash it every chance we get??? Is that really necessary??? Can't we please just have this one release without people bashing it because it's about Allen and Rillianne. please.

And now to try once again to get us off this topic, honestly as someone who's favorite non-Vocaloid band regularly does full albums of songs that are 10-15 minutes long each the length of this one is pretty much the norm for me. It's probably the usual three-songs-per-single mushed together into one big song though, given what mothy did last time.
