I don't really like Elona's storytelling in general. The story have some interesting ideas but it isn't that great, and the way we learn more about it is just annoying. And for some reason Ano decided to make it even more annoying.

I can "forgive" vanilla's story since it is somewhat short and only exists as the game's final score screen (never blocking you from accessing the rest of the game).
I liked the idea of a main storyline that have little to do with YOUR story, and the theme is interesting, but I didn't really care much about characters vomiting their sad backstories between dungeon floors, and the epilogue is just a pointless sequel bait and I hate this kind of thing.
But Plus' story is just an annoying gatekeeper. Most of the new features in Plus are found in the new regions, and said regions are locked behind the tiresome story.
The story isn't that interesting, "inverting" the roles didn't help much either. In Act 2 the old protagonists are wasting most of their time fucking around and trying to figure out how to find the ancient evil that you not only defeated already but is also having passionate sex with on a daily basis. I stopped caring about the main story after that.

Honestly I had more fun reading books about ingame excuses for some of the weird aspects of Elona's gameplay (like the quest giver "etiquette" book). This game should have more books and less cutscenes, the North Tyris is more interesting than the adventures of a hobo hunter, an elea-loving junkie and a suicidal pacifist.
