I didn't expect this manhwa to have a harem route. I don't care if fundamentally they are the same person. It's just super weird. You can have different alternative universes of yourself and fundamentally you might be the same person in essence, but at the end of the day, we could look the same but our experiences and surroundings can shape us to become different people with different opinions and attitude.
I read this manhwa a long time ago. It took me by surprise that there were side stories to it.... Honestly I have no words that could express what this manhwa has stirred in me. It's breathtakingly beautiful. It's a masterpiece. Thank you authornim and the artist and all the team that made this come true. I wholeheartedly love it. The last few chapters of the side stories made me cry. The inclusion of a new character might have been sudden but his appearance really left an impact. So fucking wonderful
Quite conflicting for me. When Gaionia was shown to test Zenus' child by offering him poison, lying that it was the medicine brewed from the arm (blood and flesh) of his mother, the child though saddened chose to drank it. In a sense, I could understand why Gaioni might think that way. A child, that drinks the flesh and blood of their parents, would betray them later on because it could be taken as if they take their parents lightly.
However, in this case, the sacrifice was already done. The child was in no state to be making sane decisions as it was threatened to make a choice about a cause that cannot be reversed. Zenus' arm was already brewed into medicine, and the worst part is, this whole situation was fabricated by "curiosity" and doubt of Gaionia about his children's cherished ones' loyalty over them. If Gaionia had not used his children's desperation against them, they wouldn't have made such a drastic choice . That's quite ironic that to test them, he drove them to a corner in the worst way possible.
If I was the kid and heard my mother sacrificed an arm and a leg to keep me alive, I would have drank it too although maddened by sorrow and guilt, because I wouldn't want to waste my mother's sacrifice. This is just how complex human's emotions are. Gaionia wouldn't ever come to understand as they are a being that don't possesses the instincts and emotions that comes from survival since they are, well, immortal. Since they do not struggle and do not understand that concept of pain and sadness, they won't ever fully grasp the ordeal their children went through. The thought of loss is foreign to them except the "love" and "betrayal" of his children.
But bueno, what happened already happened. Gaionia is an immortal selfish apathetic fool who has brought their own "misery".










For some reason, I feel really conflicted. I won't deny the story is really unique. It's pretty interesting in a sense since you can't really predict what might be happening, but I think the issue is that I don't understand where the plot is leading.
There seems to be people who are scheming against the FL, and I don't know if they are trying to direct the church or whatever enemy they had to be the final boss of this story. It is a little bit too vague since the main focus is finding out why FL feels an overwhelming guilt over ML and now that we know, what's next? Centuries/decades of pain mellowed down into longing for what "used" to be; however, it just doesn't sit right to me knowing that this is basically reverse Sherlock Syndrom where captee falls in love with captor. Although Serv spent years in confinement due to her illness and being cursed with her family's trait of obsession, she is reedemable in a sense since she recognizes that fact and tries to right it.
I don't know, man. Maybe Mel is too mentally unstable for me to enjoy this, because I'm always on edge and can't seem to predict what he might do next. I just want Serv to get back her house.
