This story feels rather incomplete.
And in the end, for all his tenderhearted gentleness, it was odd to see him immediately turn around and respond to the elf's provocations.
I wish that they decided to use that time to talk instead, and sort out their sentiments properly.
That, plus the "love" felt like it was just shoved there for the sake of continuation, disregarding a ton of complex things in the story. The ogre's eventual love I can understand, and I could kind of see the elf's interest, but that last chapter just feels like they had forced it instead since it had gone back a few steps.
And in the event that they really grew to like each other,
there's still the looming problem between Ogres and Elves. Ogres still kill Elves and treat them terribly, and Elves still distrust Ogres in general.
