the problem is, friend, that originality is pretty much gone by this point and you can take a look at anything and connect it to something else that is remotely similar.

as for the bad writing, it might be generic, but that doesn't make it bad

the first volume was the exposition phase where they cover any bases that need to be covered so they never have to talk about it again and they added anime cliches because they were trying to make it funny and relatable to anime fans

maybe in the future they'll not do this based on what people thought of the first volume, but you're taking a very pessimistic view of this

RWBY has plenty of good writing and originality in it that you're not accounting for
