Okay, SeasonalRot keeps getting amended and a Volume 6 entry was added (which was basically misuse). The original wording of the V5 entry was agreed by consensus (see further down this discussion page) and is as follows:

* SeasonalRot: While there isn\'t a clear consensus if it\'s just not as good, bad, or plain terrible, Volume 5 is generally considered inferior to the previous ones for different reasons, mainly the lack of action and the over-reliance on exposition that slows the narrative. This resulted in complaints from a part of the fandom while the reviews are mixed at best.

Now, the currently proposed rewrite of this entry is as follows (formatting error fixed) to include the quality issues, which is missing from the original rewrite:

* SeasonalRot: Volume 5 is considered by many fans as drastically inferior to the previous ones for different reasons. The primary issues found with it include the lack of well-animated action, the over-reliance on exposition, and unnecessary talking scenes that slow the narrative.

That leaves the issue of whether or not to comment on Volume 6. The reason Volume 6 would not be a separate entry is because the point of the trope is to identify where the rot kicks in. That\'s been identified as Volume 5, so that\'s the trope\'s entry. What then has to be decided is whether that rot is temporary or permanent, which will just be an additional sentence or two to the existing entry and not a brand new entry all by itself. The Volume 6 entry had ExamplesAreNotArguable problems in its own right that would have prevented it from being a valid example of the trope even if Volume 5 hadn\'t been identified as the Rot-point (it claims it\'s better than Volume 5, but the latter half hasn\'t regained the quality of older volumes), but it can easily be added to the existing V5 entry as an statement on whether or not the rot seems to be temporary or not. For example, as follows:

* SeasonalRot: Volume 5 is considered by many fans as drastically inferior to the previous ones for different reasons. The primary issues found with it include the lack of well-animated action, the over-reliance on exposition, and unnecessary talking scenes that slow the narrative. Volume 6 is generally considered better than Volume 5; although this suggests the rot may be temporary, the fandom consensus is that the latter half of Volume 6 deteriorated from its strong start and has yet to regain the quality of earlier volumes.
