this has become a caricature of what it once was. The author has altered the plot so much that the characters' traits and personalities are completely distorted... it seems the author desperately wants certain things within the fandom to end so she can give the story the ending she wants, not the ending the work deserves.
I've been following this manga for ten years and I no longer have any idea what the author wants. this isn't even in the sense of her writing a great story, but rather because it seems like the story has lost its essence. the only characters who remain consistent and faithful from the beginning are the mikayuu, who are the most likeable characters (guren also had a certain consistency)
