I agree that I don't really see the point in making Fullbringers so important in a story mostly about the SK and the history of SS. Yeah, sure they try to explain it but that explanation would have worked much better if it was foreshadowed in the manga, rather than coming out of nowhere.

There are some parts that I agree with Timjer when it comes to worldbuilding, as I said, the Soul King revelation is my favorite. But I think the novel is adding too much as well like the Fullbringers being a 100-year-old secret hidden by Tokinada (seriously wut?) and the fact that Tokinada controls the surveillance of the Human World as well (and since Rukia??).

That's actually my biggest issue; the novel tries to cram waaaaaaaay to much exposition into itself.

Tokinada, to me, is starting to look like a poor man's Aizen tbh, but with less charisma, and less intelligent, and more similar to the Joker from The Dark Knight... but even the Joker is more compelling...

To be fair, I don't mind it that much. Tokinada provides a nice contrast to Aizen and Yhwach, as some people have analyzed. TL;DR while Aizen and Yhwach had at least some (tiny) point in their motivations and actions, Tokinada is just pure evil. He, like the Joker, just wants to watch the world burn, not even caring if he lives or dies in the process.
