I spend the whole night rereading this and I still can't sleep. So I might as well write my own thoughts on this since it's already morning
First off, I agree with everything the other comment said except the ending being unecessary. I actually feel like it ties up the whole story neatly
If he had no chance of redemption, then death would have just been nothing but unreasonable. Provided, death has been unreasonable and nonchalant the whole time. But the chance of changing and correcting his mistakes give purpose to the whole story. In simple words, I would feel quite upset to read 66 chapters of character development just for him to pass through afterlife immediately. So imo, the last chapters shows that his whole adventure was necessary.
Going with the route of the police daughter actually believing him and maybe even publishing his story would be interesting but it is just far off. So out of all the endings, the open ended and with most options would be the best.
Now as I was writing this weird essay, it made me think of what happens after his new life. Obviously he would change a lot, and this is shown by how he stepped out of the ledge and answered her mother immediately. But how would he change the story?
I don't wanna play morals here but I can't help but judge that there are a lot of people he can save with his knowledge. My top one being the poor bullied kid. The genre could literally switch to regression and correcting past mistakes in second life lol. But the kid, the detective, the handsome guy, and even the juvenile kid who should have just went with MMA all deserve a chance (from top off my head) Of course not that he really have to save them, he can literally just live his own life properly this time and that would still be a decent ending.
Now about that author girl, I actually have more thoughts on that. The real reason why they clicked was because he felt that the author girl actually liked "him." And while death has already explained that handsome guy body and author girl are not connected, it still made me wonder if they're actually originally meant for each other. But seeing how MC never stopped reading author girl's books made me realize that at the very least, this is the closest thing the story has for romance. So I would really love to see it played out because as I see it, all the things she liked about him were all real.
Anyway all these things are too vague for a sequel but some side stories would be nice. This story is one of my favorites that's why I couldn't help but ramble. I was in a similar situation with mc when I first read this. Though I can't say that I've went past all of it. But I am really glad that my mother doesn't need to grieve me either.
So yeah, I haven't had any sleep so I apologize if my words don't make sense. Have a good to anyone who's reading this. I hope this manhwa made you feel things as much as it did for me.
Someone please remind me of Ignis' story. I know he killed his lover but what was the context of that. Because iirc Zenus killed her child as some sort of euthanasia, but with Ignis was more intentional—how did that happen again? I can't find the chapter where it was discussed
She stopped loving him and he couldn't handle that
Didn’t his lover throw herself off a cliff cause gaionia and gaionia made ignis believe it was his fault or something?
Yeah but that was only revealed now. Iirc the story made it seem like ignis intentionally killed his lover (which actually didn't make sense to me before—seeing as how he's still obsessed with Abella) probably because that's what gaiona wanted everyone to think
Was meeting Lloyd made the Queen's taste (twisted ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ ) like that?? Or did she always had weird taste in general hahahaha. Either way, this just goes to show that no matter how "ugly" or delusional you are, there could be someone out there for you
The poly ship ain't that bad you're all just used to reading love triangles or harem
I've been a Lucas shipper since day one but I always felt that second male lead syndrome for Ijekiel. He was actually a great guy and the only downside for him was his background. (And Lucas has his own downside like the whole drama wouldn't have happened if he wasn't so arrogant, world revolves anyway)
Also, possessiveness often comes from insecurities. Both male leads perceive each other as competitions, so of course they'd hate each other's guts. But if they really are in a polyamorous relationship then that is something that can be worked on.
And yeah I can give a lengthy discussion why this isn't harem (which is inherently patriarchal btw), or even reverse harem for that matter, but this Ted talk is already an "I ain't reading allat" worthy.
TLDR; Poly exists and work for (some) people. You can either fw or nah, no need for hate. It's an AU inside a fiction.
Sincerely, a poly person who's sick of getting little representation then seeing unecessary hate for it
I agree a 100% it’s so refreshing to have crumbs of poly representation haha, people say they don’t like that they couldn’t have the answer of who Athy chose but why does she have to? If she loves both then so be it
I also don't see the problem because it's SO obvious that the canon ending is Lucas and Lucas only, so there shouldn't be any doubts about that. The poly ship is just a nice non-canon addition lol
OKAY SO HEAR ME OUT
I am lowkey.. really lowkey shipping Jupiter Junior and Reina..
I know it's bad, okay??? But there's some undeniable chemistry there (or maybe I'm just tripping)
(⊙…⊙ )
For me I figured they'd go for the mother daughter daughter... well till Reina betrays her or smt (I don't trust whatever's going on one bit)
I completely agree. It's just the lesbian in me raging. (I mean that topless blushing scene was a little bit suggestive)
Noo this is deff doomed yuri with reina and Jupiter senior. She did literally say she is like her parent.
Did I miss something? How did the reincarnation circle open up there?
I Think it was always open in hell because that's where the real Loud spirit went to reincarnation if I remember
This is one of my favorite manhwas and I've been marinating this for a while. Is now a good time to come back or should I wait it out more
(=・ω・=)
Wait a little bit more I guess (=・ω・=)
Thanks appreciate it
Nuuh. Just finished reading, the cliffhanger is painful each time. Be patient pookie.
