I seem to remember reading a oneshot over on SB or SV's worm fanfic discussion thread that dealt with this exact issue. Maybe someone who remembers it better can provide the link.
That would work best if it was presented something like this:
Wiz seems to be a bit off to the side of the point. But the rest are specifically complaining about things I specifically put into the story intentionally. They may not *like* what I'm doing, but I've explained to them, repeatedly, than I'm doing it on purpose. So their complaints are just that, complaints.
I covered that in the first 150 or so chapters.
Well, yeah, that's because there really isn't. That, too, is part of the point.

What works in a story, and what works in an RPG are nowhere near the same thing.
They'd have to expand a fair distance to get that, at which point they're possibly capable of dealing with them. that's one of the things the entities try to keep from happening.
Pretty sure that's not the case. Their individual shards might, sure. But if they themselves outnumber the stars in the sky then when they all set out in the first place every single star would have been visited already by now.
Which honestly felt to me like I was dragging it out. That resolved itself, in as much as it can. Lesson learned. What more is there for me to write on the subject? Plot point tied up in a neat little bow. Immediate fallout dealt with as much as it can be. Long term fallout? Well, that takes more than a few weeks to resolve, don't you think?
Well, that one's still in its not quite resolved phase- this kind of politicking can take *years* to properly resolve itself. There's not that much left to say about it in the short term.
What more would you have me write? It happens. Everyone goes home to do their thing. There's nothing left to explore here. A bunch more chapters of the new parahumans? Who haven't actually done anything or been recruited yet?
More or less. Things are as stable as they're going to get. Relationships are evolving, characters are growing up and/or breaking down. But unless I want to inject utterly pointless story arcs that achieve nothing (and earn my utter contempt when done), the story's more or less reached the point of equilibrium, short term. Lots of big plans that take time but aren't interesting to discuss until things start happening. That's where they're at.
Yeah, mostly. Paperwork. Urban(ish) planning. Zoning laws. Negotiations with various nations to see about local portals. Boring, boring shit. Again, they've reached an equilibrium.
You mean the one that one of the characters died to forget happened and no one else has the heart to tell her (copy) about? That one?
Eh, I'm fine with scattershot. Hopefully my reply shows you that, as far as I can tell, I've already thought of the things you're bringing up, and chosen not to run with them for actual reasons that are thought out.
I see Calvert's crimethink inhibitor is becoming faster and more seamless as it adapts to his mind, and as he becomes molded by it. In 3 out of 4 cases, it's able to complete his thoughts with a similar thought.
Speaking of which, his annual inhibitor checkup is coming up.

I agree. Partially. They still have weapons of mass mass mass destruction. Evacuate the world, let the fire sort everything out.
Next chapter:
yet he never got a nickname like kill'em all Yamato or Fate/zero's Urobutcher and then there's the game of throne's The GRRM Reaper.
There's a fun little card game called Redshirts, where you win by killing off the aforementioned Redshirts.
