Oh c'mon, more Wilhelm story? What's more to add to his story? EX 2 should've complete his backstory as it's has a happy ending, but add an extra EX volume because there's nothing left to do. Conclude Arc 5 and end Wilhelm's side arc as a definitive send off to his arc, but add 1 more EX volume to milk him more. This honestly really needs to stop ASAP! Because by the time his arc ends, no one will get a character-centric backstory because it'll be the near end of the series. And it wouldn't be fair that other than Crusch's camp, no one will get a EX backstory nor a backstory in general. Imagine if you want to read, for example: Echidna or Ricardo's backstory, or even Al, by the time Wilhelm's story is finished, the series would be near at arc 8 or 9. There would be no time for other characters to get a backstory. If the characters were to get backstories for them, the author would have to either: 1) put the main plot on hiatus for each characters to get a chance, or 2) release them simultaneously along with the main plot or slow down the main story for the time being. This worked for Reki Kawahara for SAO and Accel World. And at the same time, this gives american readers to catch up with the LNs. Just like that. Kill 3 birds with 1 stone.
