God, I'm sorry to be crabby about this all the time but huge story twists and character reveals are a vital part of the Evillious experience and it frustrates me how many new fans have had these things so thoroughly ruined for them that they will then proceed to explain the series to even newer fans by just blurting out all of the spoilers immediately as though it's the first thing you should know before reading anything else.
You want to know why all the identity stuff is confusing? Because you're not supposed to learn each identity at the same time! You're not supposed to know going in that Elluka is actually [redacted], or the real name of the demon of Sloth, or the true nature of the Evillious world beyond it being a fantasy setting! You're not even supposed to start out knowing why Abyss IR always has a red cat on her shoulder, and you're definitely not supposed to know that characters like Gumillia and Michaela had surnames.
Evillious outside of the songs is not just a collection of lore to be memorized it is a narrative with emotional beats and pacing and character development. It's confusing because instead of going through it as written you are instead trying to inhale it like a bag of popcorn.
I know the cat's out of the bag, even without the wiki shoving all of that information front and center it's just what happens when a series has been going on for over 15 years, but like. With all the Prosekai crossovers attracting new people, if you guys see someone asking "how do I get started in this story", maybe don't tell them to start with OSS?
