Oh my, didn't know that there was someone who thinks like me
(=・ω・=)
If you think back, the real culprit was Allens father who wanted to separate Tia and the prince so she can marry his eldest son. So technically he should be despised and shunned ^^
I always feel a little sad and funny when a Story ends after so long. I think you described it wonderful (●'◡'●)ノ
I still prefer Carsein, but...thinking about it logically, the one scene where Aristia realised the prince in her new life is a different person now compared to the past...I don't think he can be faulted for the crimes the previous 'him in a past life' committed, and even those horrible things he did were all manipulated (wasn't he literally drugged and losing his mind?). In fact, isn't he always on her side later on in her second life?
Think about it. It's different if he were the same person and she decides to forgive him but here, they are reborn and he has no memories of his past. Isn't a person who is reborn a completely new person in that sense? If someone has killed in another universe, another lifetime, and is born as a baby again in another life and world where none of the tragedies have happened, where they have no motives or capacity to do evil in this life, isn't the person then considered innocent? Else going by opposite logic Ruve is still a criminal the moment he was reborn as a baby and should be hanged immediately. Also, we all might as well all be never-acquitted criminals if reincarnation were real on an infinite loop and at some point in our past lives we committed murder. At least that's the logic I'm applying.
Unpopular opinion here but that scene sold it for me. I guess it's easy to keep on hating the guy for all the bad things he did at the start minus the big reveals that will turn everything on its head, and ignore everything else that's building his and Aristia's relationship later on. The funny and perhaps the best thing is I did hate him at the beginning too. But I feel that the author did fully redeem, or more like rebuild and reveal his true character from the warped portrayal we were given at the beginning.
Maybe it's cause I like reading how the most unlikeliest pairings come together in the end, that I'm more open to this. I'd actually give more props to the author for being able to turn around a relationship 180 by showing that the truth isn't what it seems and, how the pairing, after a long and painful journey, finally get the good ending they were rightfully supposed to have. I think she set out to write a story where the fake MC stole and twisted everything and how the real MC goes through a growing process herself and truly establishes a mutually supportive relationship with the ML in her second chance, free of external tragic manipulations and misunderstandings. It's like reading a True Route after getting all the Bad Ends in an otome game. I think she wanted to write that kind of story and in that sense she did a good job, so I don't get the threats. It's quite sad that the very first chapter seals the hatred for the prince no matter what the rest of the story reveals.
I'm only disappointed that Allen got shoehorned into the yandere role. And Aristia never developed more feelings for Carsein, who is the reader's version of the best ML given he does nothing wrong to the MC at all and has always been there for her as well. I remember reading this saying that the main ML is for the MC and the second ML is for the readers. Welp, Carsein can come to us then.
