However, some industry insiders pointed out that the problem with "The Uncanny Counter 2" is that it failed to make good use of the character's setting.

Not only that, the industry insider pointed out that the fatal factor that made the second season lose its original charm was the change of the scriptwriter. In fact, the last four episodes of the previous season were once criticized for being boring due to a change in the scriptwriter. Therefore, this season continues to be written by the new scriptwriter, which immediately led to criticism that the content has become childish and boring.

As the content of the script became boring, it lost the charm set in the original work. In response, netizens have also harshly criticized the unnatural plot of the second season.
