Some positives:
1. It showed kyouya struggle for the first time ever, and this was lacking so much for a plot based around a new life and fixing issues
2. Even tho we kinda knew already, but showing how Mr Perfect aka kyouya managed to "destroy" other people's future because he wanted to make his on future better was such a amazing take, tho sadly they didn't properly manage it make it truly impactful imo
3. Showed how depending on someone else limits other people, he literally destroyed the platinum trio because he forced them to rely on him
Now the issues:
1. A guy just skipped 12 years into the future and still manages to properly do things, he can work, he can deal with his daily issues, and this was honestly the dumbest thing i ever seen, NOT A SINGLE HUMAN BEING is able to skip his whole university and his studies on the matter+his new social interactions and still manage to properly do everything, except if you're kyoua, because how the anime always like to imply, he's perfect and everyone likes to depend on him
2. Which comes issue 2, even in the future people still are depending on kyouya to solve everything even whe he's nothing special, which is even worse, because, if he's Mr Perfect how the anime implied, he should've 100% gotten a big job, but this anime loves logic holes for some reason
3. His relationship with shinoaki is as bad as a harem romcom, they literally only had 2 screentime moments themed around their relation, being him praising her and making her happy, and the kiss, and boom that's enough to justify a marriage (of course we skipped time, stuff likely happened) but that's the issue, if you don't show to the audience, it will look stupid no matter what, you can't just expect people to accept a poorly developed relationship to the point of it turning into a marriage, unless of course you're the regular generic to-love ru enjoyer (and being honest even to-love ru does a better job at romance than this anime, while still being mediocre)
4. The anime kinda didn't care at all about the characters outside of the main 4, it just showed them, and that's it, they just exist, we barely know enough about them, only that they're there because they're plot engines, and that's a issue because, if you don't wanna care about a character, you shouldn't be making said character appear "constantly" because you're implying that the character should be meaningful, while at the same time giving it no development so it feels meaningless
So yes even tho im happy this anime managed to properly be something outside of the empty shell of a generic romcom visual novel game, with a generic perfect protagonist, a generic "harem" and a generic supporting male character it was going for all those episodes ago, it still is a mediocre-bad anime at best, with kawasegawa being the better developed character and even tho she's on the poster of the anime she gets constantly treated as a side character anyways, which is also dumb
So yeah, this SoL can have the best end of the decade, it will still be a awful anime because it doesn't know how to properly handle itself and removed essential content of the source material (aka most of their character and relationship development), and everyone who thinks otherwise is solely ignoring factual evidence and rating categories, in benefit of a simplistic analyses and personal preference, yes i'm talking to all the people who are almost managing to push this into Rating 8, which is just hilarious
