Certainly an author doesn't need to have a fully developed background or even any answers at all before something happens, regardless if the characters are guiding it to some extent or not.
The Horde seems scary, but so far hasn't as far as we've seen killed anyone. Maybe at the school that was luck and timing combined with the proactive steps taken by Yuki and Yutaka. Or not. Their actions were of course based upon information ultimately provided by and in situations stemming from our source of everything. But we've already discussed how it isn't (and from what we've been told and seen of what she is, shouldn't be) possible to tell what she's actually doing or feeling based merely upon her words or behavior. Are Hordes actually dangerous. Based upon experienced mass casualties and potential mass fatalities, yes. Have they been harmful, indeed; are they to be worried about as able to pull the game world into the void, who knows. Probably. Maybe.
None of that multisided 'make all the arguments because it could all be at least somewhat true' is anything new tho Just like it's obvious Miho (whatever we call it, whatever it is, whatever it wants) isn't just some helpless waif or immature inexperienced kid. And seems to have whatever powers and abilities she wants or is expected to, so in at least one way she's apparently not needing to be worried about. But we don't know the whole story, so maybe she's not an eternal immortal force of nature or something. So we're still at where we have been in the figuring it all out department.
Yes, a lot of what's going on seems to some extent to revolve around about growing in understanding and capacity and wisdom etc.
