Why is this odd?
The AC is being lowered but the number is being raised. It's not odd but it's the sort of phrasing that would new readers do a double take.
Do your players say that race-as-class is bad because they can't make dwarf clerics and elf thieves? Well with this new mini-supplement, no one can be a cleric or thief!
I'm having trouble with players not understanding LL's imitative system, they can't understand that they need to declare their actions then roll for initiative and everything is acted out in one continuous specific sequence, instead they attempt combat like they're playing 3e. Is this normal?
Just use the optional individual initiative then.
Never.

Unless you are usurping multiple kings, you don't "take the reigns"; you "take the reins".
Force of habit, I assume. I wouldn't know because I try to streamline and simplify combat, generally favoring group initiative.
