It's really not that. Since the beginning the writing of DxD has been average at best and still is but there seems to be something lacking in the series now compared to back then. Like since the fourth arc Ishibumi wants to change the overall focus of DxD to something more serious but is kind of half-assing it while still keeping DxD light-hearted and comedic at its core. And he seems to be running short on originality as he is just rewriting plots at this point. Also the fights lack the originality they once had and are just the same back and forth power struggles rather than a fight that has any legitimate meaning.

Since the fourth arc ended, I feel that Ishibumi has decided to bring this series to an end and introduce all the characters in the main plot that he never had a legitimate reason to do so before then hence the reason for the Azazel Cup while using it as kind of a stopgap while Ishibumi wandered around in the dark searching for a new enemy before finally deciding to end it with the Evies.

It feels like Ishibumi wants to add so much more to the series while wanting to end it as soon as he possibly can. And the quality of the current volumes and what has happened in them just reflects that.

I kind of felt like the editor wasn't really doing their job properly and now DxD is oversaturated with too many plots and too many characters at this point while the world is barely developed and certain characters remain static.
