That's a totally fair and valid take, and I understand. You did a very good job at conveying your thoughts and feelings in an unusual location, which I think was brave of you, even anonymously.
If you would like it, I have a very big hug for you, and I genuinely wish you the absolute best, or as close to it as anyone possibly can.
This jaded old millennial auntie is here for you to talk to, whenever you need it - and for anyone else seeing this too
Aww thank you so much for you kind words. Fortunately, I realized I was spiraling too much and phoned a friend to calm down. (Not everyone's left me yet!) I did momentarily regret trauma dumping on here, but hopefully I'll go through life and earn the privilege to make peace with the cycle of abandonment/betrayal this book triggered. (15 years spent, only to relive my worst nightmares lol) I really didn't see that meltdown coming
I'm a millennial too! But if I was born a month later, I would've been in the gen z gang for sure.
I'm not really mature enough to handle Hak leaving for an indefinite amount of time to handle a lifetime worth of issues (it's putting too much precedence over my girl's position, rather than yona herself). I can't handle seeing a smile on Soowon's face since he was gonna kill her ass too with no remorse. And I def ain't mature enough to process the swiftness the crew switched up, as if the love/bond they built only mattered when the dragons were there. I also can't handle that Hak is everybody's favorite person well over Yona, to the point marrying her would make him immediately outshine all her merits.
I'm actually so depressed about it, I'm trying not to cry and regret spending half my life following this story. I'll probably cry anyway, randomly recalling about this wrap up. And I'll think about all the people I'll never have a chance to see again in my real life. I'll fall back into noticing how life keeps going, while the people I miss aren't here. I'll think about how some of the people who hurt me the most are probably smiling and just saw the pain they caused me as "something to move on from, and learn from."
