guys, I had a random ass idea. Since I cover chapters quite fast, what if I made the NEL 7-8 teams instead of 5 teams.
Allowing for other top leagues to be displayed or using the champion's league logic and letting 2 other clubs from the top 2 leagues (la liga and prem) to play.
Mostly cuz I wanna explore Re Al and Liverpool more. I also could make a league with 10 teams but at that point I am scared I will lose too much motivation-
I mostly wanna expand to 7 teams so I can give proper development to the characters who got shafted. I wanna give Shidou his own team rather than be forced to co-exist with Rin (even though they work in my story)
I also wanted Yuki and Kuni to get their spotlights so Bastard isn't filled with stars and rather filled with more roleplayers.
In this way, each team still gets 4-5 blue lockers and they get proper development.
It may seem crazy, but Hajime Nishioka might become HIM-
I mostly plan on expanding at most to 8 teams, Re Al, Liverpool and Dortmund.
A rivalry for Isagi with clubs that have rivalries could help but again, it may feel weird with 8 rather than 10 teams.
Does the idea have merit?
