I loved the fleshing out of the mecha gods. Now I finally get what they were going for with the machine gods from across the stars, and I can appreciate what they did with it, especially compared to the JP release, where the spoilers were "ZOMG GREEK PANTHEON ROBOTS Y'ALL". I still think they should've picked a pantheon that wasn't the Greek one to do it with, though. Even with the (pretty fucking weak, tbh) reason that Atlantis was supposed to be super advanced in the allegory, I stand by my earlier position that it really doesn't fit the Greek gods.
Pick literally any other pantheon, not the one that consists of 50% "No Zeus, don't fuck that!" *Zeus gets his dick out* and 50% Guy somehow insults/annoys god, has worst day in history.
Meanwhile the power scaling was the worst thing about this LB.
Beginning: "oh no there's a laser satellite god that can kill islands"
The next day: "haha you thought that was a threat? every fart out of zeus's crack can kill islands"
The next day: "haha you thought that was a threat? zeus can now kill the planet aaand also he's anti concept so you can't even Mash bullshit out of it"
Five minutes later: "haha you thought that was a threat? chaos is gonna eat the planet, not even hit it to hurt us, he's just gonna eat it as fuel to go home and we'll be dead as a side effect".
There's only so much you can escalate before the reader is pushed into apathy. Like, past getting vaporised, does it really matter whether this guy's attack is anti country, anti planet or anti galaxy? It might have had a point if Chaos had shown up while we were fighting Zeus and gone "bingeley bingeley beep, time to go home", and then he and Zeus were escalating against each other, trying to one-up each other, Zeus trying to protect the planet whilst Chaos tried to eat it, but this got pointless in the way Bleach's power scaling became pointless, or the way DBZ power scaling became pointless. Give Freezy pop the ability to hand-laser Namek out of existence, and you're stretching believability by having him not just do the same thing to Earth.
