I had pretty much the same take on the series.

For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change.

Not that this page showed beating the master at his own game, since it just ended up being more drama fodder. "Drama" itself just seems very broad.

I think this is a 10/10 but I still don't like it. It's a me problem. I wish the ending at least implied a possibility of change in the status quo. I think if Oshi No Ko criticising the entertainment industry is meaningless, then it would have been better if it didn't try to say anything and just enjoyed the drama. I realise how stupid that sounds but I'm not claiming that it's rational.

I'm considering maybe writing a more consequential ending on AO3 as a fun creative exercise, just to scratch that brain itch.
