2-It's the reason why Volumes 3 and 4 are so much more popular than 1 and 2; the characters we love are out there DOING THINGS now, fighting against a real, clear foe.

3-A good story needs a good enemy, that's all there is to it.

I mean, remember, all the REAL roaming adventure and action shit is happening now in Volumes 3 and 4. All of Vols 1 and 2 were basically just school time slice-of-life stuff with the occasional fight and cameo from a bad guy mixed in. How are they gonna handle that whole school arc, just turn it into a massive Tutorial? 1-No it isn't. At all. What you are stating, is an opinion, nothing more nothing less. And you are making the same mistake as the average joe, using your opinion with the same weight as an actual fact.

A story will not fall flat, be bland, or be unnecesary, just because the villain, if there is one, is not as powerful as the previous one, nevermind how Power=/=Threat.

2-Ooorrr...it's because the writing got better, the animation got better, and the villains finally proved they could get things done after all.

Writing is an important part of every story. Without good writing, there can't be no good story. And good writing doesn't require an almighty villain that could rival or eclipse the previous villain.

3-A good story needs good writing. A good enemy can be obtained with good writing.

But a Good Enemy does not require said Enemy to be as Powerful as the others. In fact, it can make a good contrast if they are much weaker but compensate in other aspects, such as bigger pragmatism and manipulation behind the scenes.

4-You are thinking of a videogame adaptation of the main story, instead of an independent series of events like Grimm Eclipse was.
