I can also argue that this was the point. The newbies weren't supposed to feel impacted by Emiri's death and so would probably not understand why Akame and Rose would spill tears over someone that was supposed to only be seen as a comrade at arms. Plus it was a way to get Emiri out of the story. As for Chiyo's shocking betrayal, that wasn't intended either since we (the players) all saw her being obviously evil a few posts ago.

Well, obviously when taken out of character. But in character it isn't all that shocking either because there hasn't been any time to get to trust Chiyo outside of that one mission, which not everyone was at in the first place. It's just 'Hey, turns out she's actually a bad guy', and we just roll with it. What was the point of even having her pretend to be on their side if she's going to blow her cover this early? 

And while it does get Emiri out of the story, it just doesn't have any real emotional impact for me as a reader, coming so close after the other two technically character's dying. That's why I don't find myself any closer to real tears than before it.

Will there be impacts in character? Sure. But for the most part, I'm looking at it from an Out of Character perspective, and I wasn't that affected, and that's all I'm saying.
