I'm nearing chp 100 and my first opinion on Hestia did not change which is a bit disappointing but it makes sense to the plot and her character. Her reaction to Cael's every action is undeniably concerning and obsessive. Makes me feel better about my own fangirling tendencies (;;;・_・)
The fact that she also belittles the people's existences as just "fictional" to ease her emotions and justify her actions. I disagree with her as a person but she is interesting. Her and Diana are two sides of the same coin essentially. It's refreshing to see morally ambiguous characters.
Justice to Helios. He had his wrongs but he's the most normal one here U-U
It's true their whole sibling relationship is fictional but from a purely narrative perspective, it was unnecessary and it ruins Gil's character which sucks cause I think he'd make for a good end game. The one chapter where he's suppressing his urges because he's aware Cecilia only sees him as a younger brother. Huge ick. Oscar is a much better choice comparatively and I find it endearing that him and Cecilia have the same overthinking/jumping into conclusions tendencies(see. the misunderstanding with Eins lol) which easies up the whole "running around in circles" plot. He's just not my personal cuppa tea tho ¯_(ツ)_/¯ atp, make it a Yuri and pair Lean and Cecilia PLEASSEEE
