I think about this story also lot. I know some people will be disappointed about not having an expansive worldbuilding but I think this is not the point of the story. I think is enough of a bite for us to understand this is a harsh world that ended, and the aliens that took over have the capacity to do bad as much to do good in the main story. This was Mori journey to find a family, and now on the epilogue, we experience what family feels like. The love and the warmth, as well the tightrope of offering just enough of a "human" life for Mori for them to still have their connection to the ones that look like him. A true bridge between the Aliens and Humans.
The world they share is healing, slowly but healing nonetheless. Mori, like us the reader, discover this world together. It was a place we rooted and cried with them. I hope we have physical copies internationally one day this one was one of my favorite ones
I like how Ryder and Myria are just like... Married now lol. They're trying their best to make the whole family thing. It's even cuter to having him propose to Myria. Also how cute is that Myria know them so well she even notices that Mori sleeps like Ryder.
On another note, Lily's dad is indeed a star. I guess because gravity messes them up, she only ever saw them as stars.
I been thinking. On the chapters with the archivist shamans, they say that the shaman bond is akin to love. So is clear that ML is the embodiment os the Demi Wyrm with all it's strength and possible madness (probably because of all the murder).
So I think that the Taboo of the change of fate Grandma did was transfer her powers/bond to Red head. Since she probably wouldn't have much time either way, so she found someone he could really love in the future, and in a sense it will work. If the curse is tied to the island and the family, she probably severed the connection of them to the ML to her so this power could grow little by little, and now Red Head will eventually bring all their family crimes to light and free him from his fate.







She is adorable I almost forgot twice this story is a smuty one. Also Sadistic Priests are really appreciated in this genre
