I mean every time so far when we get reactions about anything from other states it is always same
Hurr durr Qin going ham, we better prepare
This is same
So because you already knew the other states would need to prepare, but not specifically how, this isn’t a necessary chapter? That’s like saying we didn’t need the One Piece chapter where everyone reacts to Luffy become the Fifth Emperor, because we already knew how they would react. This is completely necessary to contextualize one of the most major story developments in the past 3 decades.
We learned that Han is seeking an alliance with Chu now since Wei is no longer protecting them from Qin, and that Han and Chu have been secretly interacting since the Coalition War. We didn’t know that before.
We learned that Yan does have another seemingly “top tier” commander aside from Ordo, and that Yan will likely attack Qin while they are worn down from fighting the other states. We didn’t know that before.
We learned that Karin recognizes that the 6 GG are dangerous specifically because of how quick their decision making is, and so she may seek to counter this herself somehow. We didn’t know that before.
We got to see the imbeciles in Zhao shitting themselves, which is always great.
This is an awesome chapter, and I think you’re complaining just to complain lol.
