There's no ending yet cause the novel is ongoing. The life is honestly pure pain for both of them.

SPOILER WARNING HERE.

They get married. Thalia has a miscarriage and in a fit of despair/ppd tells Barkas to leave her alone and he does, he literally doesn't visit their estate for months. Thalia adopts a monster wolf pup thinking he's a reincarnation of their child. A lot happens, Barkas very often pretends he doesn't see her and the wolf causing trouble. Until the wolf almost kills his brother and he has to act. He "kills" the wolf and Thalia is back to being in despair. He leaves again cause she doesn't wanna see him. One time he comes back, she begs him to have another child, he disagrees and they have a misunderstanding. Later on Thalia is so determined to prove herself, that she can give him an heir, that she slips him in what she thinks is an aphrodisiac but almost kills him because it turns out she was lied to and she fed him poison instead. After that it's a clusterfuck. Barkas leaves again, saves the prince's stupid ass and we begin to find out that he's under an oath that forbids him from going against the twins. We've already seen the oath at play when he saved Ayla instead of Thalia. Then, when their territory gets attacked, Barkas goes back home as fast as he can to get to her but he's too late. Thalia dies under rubble trying to help the injured. We're still at a point when Barkas hasn't acknowledged his own feelings but he's really going through it. For the first time he goes against the twins when they come to his estate saying he can marry Ayla now and he chokes the prince, intending to kill him. But the oath is at play and it almost kills him while he's doing it.
Barkas goes through Thalia's belongings, reads her journal and not long after dies in despair at her and their child's graves mauled by the monster wolf he "killed". But it's not the end and he goes back in time and lives again but in the monster wolf's body this time. He lives as the beast by Thalia's side and gets to experience what she's been through. I haven't read the latest chapters so idk how far along in the plot we are but many speculate that Barkas will go back in time once again but in his own body this time and with the knowledge he gained while living as a beast.

The fuck...

Some one put the tragedy tag on cuz wtf?!?

And the things I mentioned are just the biggest things that happen. A lot of pain goes on all the time. They both deal with a lot. And honestly their biggest enemy is lack of communication. Cause they both clearly feel something for each other but they're both so emotionally constipated it's crazy.

ME TOOOOOO!!

You mean between the ml and fl? I mean, she didn't intended to make him fall for her. She wanted to make up for the story she wrote and wanted to see him happy with the og fl. She was so blind she didn't realise until he basically spelled it out to her that he has feelings for her, and then she confronted her own feelings for him. It would be one thing if she intentionally made him fall for her (so actual grooming) but she was so focused on wanting to survive and leave the og couple with their happily ever after, that it went over her head the possibility of him falling for her.

If you mean the side stories, I'm not sure it was intended like that. I normally don't like stories where the kids of the couple end up having their own love interests at like a really young age(I'm looking at you, Beatrice). But the side stories quickly made me overcame that fear by the end (so of now, chapter 150) because it wasn't pushed as a romance but more naturally as a child that just wanted to save a friend.

I don’t think Fiona intentionally groomed Sigren, but I also don’t think “she didn’t mean to” automatically makes the dynamic okay. She has the memories and maturity of someone much older, met Sigren when he was a vulnerable child, became one of the most important people in his life, and eventually ended up with him. Whether people want to call that grooming or not, I think it’s fair to say the setup itself is questionable.

And honestly, the side stories didn’t really help either. With Beatrice and her future love interest being introduced so young, it just added to the pattern that the series likes setting up romances from childhood. Some people may think it’s cute, but personally it feels weird when kids are already being paired off or given romantic undertones before they’re even old enough to understand that stuff.


(Just wanted to bring that up but maybe also because I’m tired of seeing these types of patterns in shoujo isekai manwhas. If you have some good recommendations to read I’m definitely open to suggestions.)

Nah... I totally get you... part of the reason I don't read the rofans where mc starts as a kid is for that same reason... I can't help but feel kinda weird about it... I try to ignore it when the plot is good but we hardly see mc's admitting to their mental/soul age before accepting mls... I think one of the few I saw it happen was the villainess turns the hourglass...
I get mc didn't really see him that way and didn't plan for it... but I do think coming clean about it all and the age before or while confirming feelings would be good... or at least them feeling bothered by it before giving in. They get bothered by og plot, ogfl, ranking/status, reputation, etc... but not by their age... that's what weirds me most...
And in the kid's case... idt her relationship with the dragon was that kind... but her meeting Abel left me... scared and apprehensive... because while it seemed his "fiancée" had black hair... she wasn't properly shown... and it didn't alude to her dieing like his parents and siblings... but disappearing... with him hugging her clothes... so I hope to God my fear turns to be unfolded and them meeting has nothing to do with it...
