Chapter 28 tries to spin Ai and Karin's decision to join the Association in a more positive light by showing a Flashback where they explain that they didn't approve of how Lanzhu barged into the Club and tried to get them to join the Association, but they were moved by her passion for school idols and joined on as temporary members to get a feel for her methods.She even admits to everything that she did wrong to the protagonist and the Club and delivers a sincere apology to both without any pushback whatsoever. The plot also attempts to Hand Wave her earlier behavior and some inconsistencies caused by this change, such as revealing that she's Talented, but Trained to justify the Character Shilling and that her earlier treatment of the protagonist was borne out of jealousy of her. Her current character is only vaguely similar to her character at the start of the season, being a boastful and egotistical rich kid school idol, but her current character is leagues nicer than before and driven by a desperation to forge real friendships, rather than being a Alpha Bitch who is callous and insensitive to others and wants to be the best for the sake of it. Following the less-than-positive reception to the opening chapters of Season 2, the story has made a point of softening Lanzhu's character.This is marked by a sharp pivot from treating the Association less like rivals into treating them more as an extension of the Club with creative differences, with basically all of its members except Lanzhu being portrayed in a sympathetic light and Lanzhu herself getting some fun interactions with the other cast members rather than just being antagonical.

Later chapters of Season 2 make it clear there was an attempt at this, as the story returns to a primary Slice of Life focus.Later DLP updates (January 2021 in JP, March in EN) started adding limited-time "easy" towers that are vastly less difficult than the regular Parades, making grinding out coins and earning DLP-specific rewards and Star Gems more accessible for casual players.

It also updated the Goals to remove the Weekly Goals that require playing the game, and updated Story Songs so that they now count towards Goals. Version 2.0.0 reworked a significant chunk of the story to remove a portion of the playable songs, often accused of padding and beginning in Season 2, the song lists introduced two difficulty settings for average players to easily catch up the story.
