Monty wasn't that good though. He created Neo mere weeks (or days?) before the episode she was introduced was aired, which is why she is mute. Maidens were also an idea he wanted to add during (or was it after) V2, forcing Miles and Kerry work around it and most likely change the entire long term plot they might have had. Maidens also go against Monty's own original idea (there is no magic in Remnant).

My point is, that if Monty was alive, I think there would be more of these kind of things. Monty gets and idea, Miles and Kerry make the story work around that idea, no matter how badly it goes against their own rules. It might have not been a problem during the first 3 volumes, but as we saw with the God Brothers and the Relics, you can't do things like that forever.
