Now that the official death order has marinated in my head more with more context coming out, I ended up feeling content with it. The only real difference I would make is push Chapter 3 as Chapter 4, but also, the planned Chapter 4 did not make sense and we have the least info on it, and a lot of people on the team expressed how they did not like how it went down, which feels like wasting two characters. Also, I was wondering is the mastermind was really needed in the story, as I feel Tozu and Maru could have filled those roles just fine.
Another thing I appreciated about the death order is that there was no double murder, as it made me think that the og Danganronpa kind of set itself up with the double murder in Ch 3 trope when it was probably used as a shock originally and it kind of stuck which bleeded into other fanganronpas.
Soz for random rambling, but I just need to put the thoughts I had because for some reason P:EG (funny acronym idc) is my hyperfixation again. I need a cure for that.
