Stories I've read taking place in GX or any yugioh isekai in general usually follow a set stereotype list. Curbstomp Duelists,why do you use weak cards?(I:P,Laundry Dragonmaid,etc.), Abuse Staple cards,maybe a Harem or two. It was fine the first couple of times,but now they're everywhere.There are literal memes about how stereotypical they can get. It's nice to see something new and interesting. See a more realistic view,one that shows the character growing and maturing,not just breezing by. The reason why you feel down is because it was left on your MC's lowest point so far. He got absolutely destroyed,he's depressed, and the spirits are depressed,but that's okay. Cause you gotta take the bad with the good,as you can only that bad if something good happened,so I guess what you're feeling is like a beautiful sadness. And yes I ripped that line from Butters Stotch.
