I actually liked Book 4 and noticed that it was a change of pace from the previous books. You could definitely tell that the model of that book, which is basically being the problem solver and "increasing the confidence" of the other characters, was going to be implemented in The Sophomore. I get how you see it as unnecessary yet I'm guessing that it was necessary for the writers to create some sort of transition from The Freshman, Book 3 to The Sophomore.

As for The Sophomore itself... pretty tiring, yeah, being involved in practically every other character's drama and somehow finding the perfect solutions like we're a licensed therapist. I don't blame you for not reading it. I held on because I still care about some of the characters.

To regain the favor of many people, I feel like The Junior should have an actual plot, as opposed to the endless droning of everyone's day-to-day lives. The thing with Delacroix and the house was very unenthralling. For there to be a mystery... that kind of reminds me of High School Story, Book 2 and that whole Isa thing. Not sure about that. I'd just like for them to incorporate the MC into the story as more than just the person everyone goes to for advice.
