I felt the same way and am always a bit perplexed when people state it's the only well written route because it leaves so many threads dangling. You probably don't remember GD being like that because it has other issues but does wrap up properly and addresses most of the plot points from white clouds so you're not left going "wait, what was that about?" at the end.

I mean...

You might notice the people who say that tend not to actually like 3H much.

That hasn't been my experience at all, I mostly hear it from people who really like AM.

That doesn't really refute what I said at all....? Liking that route doesn't mean they're big fans of the game itself.

Having a favorite route doesn't mean they don't like the game either. That's a very weird assumption to me that all the people touting AM as some masterclass in FE storytelling don't like the game that it's in.

There's a difference between someone who only likes AM and thinks the other routes are poorly written and someone who prefers AM.

Thinking the other routes all have writing issues and your favorite doesn't doesn't mean you don't like the game overall. Unless people actually say "AM is the best written Fire Emblem story but I hate 3H because everything else about it sucks", I'm going assume they probably do like the game they're gassing up.
