LN readers, what do you think of the size of classes?

Something that is not a problem for the series at all, but bothers me personally is the believability of the mall and stuff. I know that having a whole mall and multiple convenience stores for one school is not realistic, but having it for, excluding expulsions, 480 students (40 per class x 4 classes x 3 grade levels) makes much more sense than 300 students (40 per class x 4 classes x 3 grade levels) in the anime. When having a mall in a school with things like a movie theater and a karaoke place, a difference of about 180 customers is a lot. When watching the anime, the scenes at the mall always show a ton of random background students in every corner of the mall. In the LN, Ayanokouji only goes to the mall when he has a specific need there, and I assume most students are like this. Having the mall that crowded in the anime just makes less sense in general with the decrease in students. The same concept goes for the events in Volumes 5, 10, and 11 in the first year where every single student participates. It can easily be worked around, but I (one guy writing this from his bed and definitely not a professional show writer or director whose opinion actually matters) feel it would be easier to animate the full 40 student classes than constantly rewriting the events of the novels for the whole series. If drawing out the whole class is too time consuming, they could avoid animating scenes showing the whole class (like focusing on Chabashira-sensei or specific student’s reactions). Again, my opinion doesn’t matter and I definitely don’t have the experience or credits to complain and say they made a bad choice, it’s just what makes more sense to me. Also, the believability also doesn’t matter in the slightest since it is just an anime, that’s just a pet peeve of mine that I haven’t seen anyone else mention yet.
