Honestly, I'm giving the author a benefit of a doubt, and I believe it was done just for the plot twist. Lol would've more intense if the fl(Keira) was truly someone who would harm Ehrite's(?? Idk the spelling.) true shard.
I think the "evil god" stuff seemed a bit too on the nose to me.
I liked how the story didn't shy away from morally grey areas, questionable choices and behaviors, toxic relationships and things not being black and white at all. So having it all just become the most black and white good vs. evil, lacking even the creativity to come up with an actual name, and - just so absolutely noone of us might get confused- slapping "evil" on top... that felt like the exact opposite of the vibe in the beginning of the story. Felt almost like as a reader we were taken for idiots, needing to be guided by hand to understand who the antagonist of the story will be.
Don't get me wrong, I do actually like that the story did end on a brighter note and the MCs matured a lot from their darker hearts. But the way towards the end seemed to be set up a little too conveniently and (no intend to insult the creator) lazily.
