I actually enjoyed this abyss cycle (except for chamber 12-1-1, and its bs rng). Just look at all the weird teams part 2 incentivized us to play.

And frankly, it's not as difficult as people make it to be : floor 12-2 and 12-3 are relatively easy when you know which teammates to bring (or not to bring). And it's nice to have a floor as challenging as floor 12-1.
