I'd argue Weiss spending even a minimum of 6 months in her room doesn't make sense, given in universe context.

Take for instance, Whitley saying "a pleasure to see you out of your room for a change."

You really expect me to believe that Weiss stayed in her room for 6 months, and he never saw her, given he has been shown to show up in her room without warning? Or that Jacques didn't speak to her for those entire 6 months she was home, given how he asked "did you forget your manners whiel you were away?" as if it was a recent thing, and she'd have had plenty of time to get reaccustomed.

Then you're asking me to believe Jacques didn't think of exploiting Weiss and by extension the occurence of the Battle of Beacon for business strategy until 6 months after the fact, when people have mostly gone back to normal? A guy who will do anything to advance his name and the company name, not taking a logical but immoral approach. At all.

Though debatable, you could also argue she'd go crazy being alone for 6 months with no human interaction save for Klein.

Weiss & Blake's storylines don't make sense with the timeskip for those reasons.

RNJR, they already had a short 2-3 month timeskip at the end of V3, so that's less unbelievable, considerign they walked most of the way.

And then Yang, well, she's depressed. Her recovery time would take awhile, though most of it was offscreen.

Well, then there was the whole "Salem did nothing for 6 months against her enemies besides look evil and sit there broodingly as a very creepy mom to Cinder."
