I believe it needs a lot of improvement. The story tends to go in the manner of "Team RWBY either finds a threat, fights with each other, or both, and then break to solve Jaune's Daddy Issues for about half the volume, to the threat once more, which is executed poorly."

Volume 1: Roman is a threat. Kind of hard to feel like he's a threat when Jaune is dealing with his school issues for a good chunk of the volume and Ruby and Weiss are yelling at one another like the squabbling little children they are. If these are the future Heroes of Humanity, we're all doomed.

Volume 2: The White Fang, led by Roman, is a threat. Hard to feel like that when the superpowered mech he's in gets blown apart in the space of three minutes. And now we move on to Jaune's next Arc, where we find he's still trying to realize that what everyyone else can see: Pyrrha Likes Him, hasn't been understood by him. And he still doesn't get that Weiss doesn't like him at all. Then back to the threat? Oh, wait. No threat at all. Ruby gets captured. She gets freed a moment later. Gigantic big Grimm invasion threatening to destroy a city? Repelled by a chaingun wielding diva. What a grand finish. Not.

So my opinion on the writing is 6/10. Good idea, bad way of doing it.
