It is once again time to ask why the Solars didn’t get an unlimited book but Hyperforce did when ultimately, none of the Hyperforce stuff WENT ANYWHERE

It's hard not to see it as author favoritism because truly if you cut out Hyperforce's book from your reading order entirely you genuinely don't miss anything. The Hyperforce team showing up with other Rangers and Chloe's dad being with Dark Specter is explained fine in the actual series without needing to dedicate an entire book about it, especially when they're characters not relevant to the actual MMPRs at all; versus how getting an update on the Coinless World after Drakkon New Dawn, how Drakkon got new powers and how he's working with people who hate him, and building up Ranger Slayer and Drakkon's relationship before their confrontation in #116 WAS important enough for its own book. Much like how getting an update on the Void, introducing the new Solars, building up their relationships before their corruption, and sowing the seeds for the Zeo Crystal Planet's importance in the climax was ALSO important enough for its own book. Hyperforce splitting up and the reunion via "hey, remember when that episode happened?" was not. (If Santa Ranger came in to fight Dark Specter I would have instantly taken back all of my criticisms.)

You can tell they were TRYING to do something with building up Chloe and her dad, but as we've said, it's never actually relevant in the event outside of them taking up space in the finale for a few-page fight that again, is not relevant to anyone else, and we get no resolution for the mystery of her mother still being alive, so lmao.
