I think it's the weakest gen so far in EN. I didn't watch Myth debut life, but I started watching around September of '20. Without trying to look with the benefit of hindsight, Myth felt novel, and it isn't exactly fair to compare my opinions of them now to what I felt back then. They were novel, but with the exception of Kiara at the time, I generally liked everybody.
Then Irys came, and I thought she was fine. I thought it was weird she was alone as some 1.5 thing, but whatever. I didn't think she was for me, and she's still the person I'm least likely to watch in Promise, but that's a different story.
Next up was Council, and I'm unsure the novelty of the industry was enough to carry me through, because I thought Council was all alright. Debut Fauna didn't impress me, but it doesn't sound like she really impressed anybody. Sana was a drag, but she also quickly left. I thought the the rest of them were at worst fine. Mumei needed a few months to find her footing, Kronii did too, and Bae is Bae. It wasn't a gen that blew me away, but I generally liked Council, especially around the two month mark.
Then we have Advent, and I was initially blown away by everybody. But this also might be because of the length between Council and Advent. Anyways, I liked the Twins and Biboo, Nerissa wasn't too bad, and Shiori had her moments. I thought it was a strong generation, and was hoping to see what would develop next.
Then Justice dropped. Part of the reason I disliked Kiara so strongly at the beginning, and why I'm not overly keen on Nerissa now, is that all her content seems to be about aggressively flirting with people. It's fine to watch something develop naturally or be a clear subversion like Baerys, but I dunno man. Liz just captures that energy, and she captures it in a way that feels like she's Nerissa 2.0. Nerissa being the primary target of such "affection," doesn't help much either. I don't particularly care about the Holostars nonsense, I still think the Kronii and Vesper streams are really funny, but it's also annoying that a lot of discussion about her is limited to inane drama of Holostars. Raora is tough because she seems sweet, but she's tied with Liz for my least watched member this gen. She may be last place because I've actually watched Liz's debut and haven't watched hers. Maybe I'm racist, but I just don't find the constant pokes and prods to her being Italian all that funny. You poked her on pineapple pizza again, yay. What's weird is that I like slower streams: I like modern Fauna and I've pretty consistently considered myself a Tako. I guess I'm just waiting until I get an inkling that something has changed on that front. Half the gen gone, and that half isn't for me. Gigi is boring. I'm sorry, I tried watching her play the crab game and I just couldn't. It felt forced and the jokes were repetitive. Maybe that can be fairly labelled towards some of the people I like, but it felt a lot more noticeable to me on her stream. This saddens me because I can tell she's creative and pretty smart, maybe the luck with her is that she'll find a pace I can appreciate. This leaves Cecilia, who I believe is hands down the best of her generation and the only hire I have zero hesitation saying was a good choice for Justice.
With all of that said, it's only been a like a week, who knows what I'll say in two months.
