I just reread, and chapters 18-20 just reinforced my sympathy for the MC and how no matters what happens, as long as he is happy and gets his happy ending without sacrificing/losing himself, physically, mentally, or spiritually(/TДT)/
It was actually hard reading those chapters that I skimmed (lowkey skipped) ╥﹏╥










Also love the little glimpse of karlye and ash in chapter 27 ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
