It's because U Olga-Marie is an indulgent self-insert created by her juvenile self (the Priestess).
Trust.
Oh my God, Grand Olga Marie is so cute that I instantly forgave her for not divulging any infrormation about Alien World. So precious.
The focus on Bleaching is interesting. I assumed Alien World done it as part of the plan to get Earth's humanity inside CHALDEAS. To the CHALDEAS humanity it looked like alien invasion since they didn't know it was the inside job of their own planet. But the way the game make it sounds as if it was really something entirely diiferent and I can't tell if this is a misdirection or not.
Priestess continues to be a mystery. But it does look like she cares about Olga (which is weird if Priestess is just an observation system), so this may serve as proof she's indeed carries a part of Olga inside.

The weirdest/funniest part for me is that I am used to Olga's gagtastic portrayal in Learning with Manga that this is just business as usual for me.
But when you think about it...it is indeed jarring that someone of U-Olga's apparent magnitude in the plot had a very jokey edge in her for the most part. Her basically boiling down to be a decoy of sorts doesnt help either.
Then again, we should have known something was off when she went "Screw you guys, I'm going home" after just being poked by some meteors back in Olympus.
U Olga is an escape valve so Olga doesn't actually have to deal with her problems, her portrayal makes perfect sense in that context.
People expecting any kind of lore/story content from the Olga fights keeps being baffling for me when the first one had jack shit and Nasu only noticed he had a possibility to say anything at all later on. Especially when there's an actual chapter that will deal with it down the line.
I find your own position to be baffling. Olga fights are not presented as pure fight-only node. They have cutscenes both before and after. FGO is a game with emphasis on story and the fights are heavily tied to main plot, and we are not in early Part 1 era of meaningless chatter before the fight. This is a perfect chance to present player with some story details at least.

Again, the first one had pretty much jack shit, and it came as an optional fight in the middle of what was already a filler arc. It coloured my opinion of the lot, well, a lot.
The difference is we were told beforehand that the Earth/Joy Olga has a lot of Important Information, and then we fight her and she says fuck all except dumb "hur hur vote for president" jokes

And then she hands over the Foreigner Class Score because Meteo missed his deadlines again.
Muramasa is perfectly fine if you have daddy issues which is perfect because she has that in spades.
Kotomine will ruin your life so that's not ideal.
Sherlock is fine if you don't mind your bf being a know it all but refuses to say it drug addict.
Cagliostro will give you trust issues so no.
Mori Lily is honestly so much of a loser I can't even really see him as a threat even though his mats say he's like a toxic friend so 50:50?
Does he count as part of the harem if he never met the others?
