Something about this story just pulls us in, and keeps us from reading. But believe me, this isn't a recommended read while it's being updated. Probably since you'll have an excuse to stop. It's just so toxic.
I hate Wilhelm. Yes he's broken. Yes he's obsessed. This is a classical move for obsessed characters, lying and keeping things (manipulative, gaslighter, whtvr). But, just because you understand how Wilhelm ended up that way, or that they're two people madly in love with each other, doesn't make him charming and forgivable. He deserved being abandoned by Rein, and her leaving him was long due. But everytime one task of her gets accomplished (i.e., stabbing her ex), she comes back to him all blind. Normally, I don't care about the reality-wise of characters, since it is fictional--but he is a bastard. No denying it.
I hate Rein too. She's so annoyingly vulnerable, and it's so hard to empathize to how she, as a character, was developed in the story. She was endlessly physically, mentally, and emotionally weak. And the moment that you think she'll make a turnaround--boom! She's gone crazy on revenge, and the loving Wilhelm all over again. She was a user, but she keeps denying it until the end. And idk if we all know, but her love for him was never deep. It's more of, he was there at the most convenient time, and became a source of her own obsession. While Wilhelm was more of an obsessive love, hers was more of an obsessive possession/possessiveness. Whenever she does this, I felt sad for the ML since her feelings in the mahwa adaptation just seemed so shallow.
I felt sad for the children. The eldest was obviously neglected. His father doesn't even care about him. Not once. Her mother... let's just say she's on a long term postpartum depression. She just kept creating people with abandonment issues. The daughter, well--many things were kept a secret to her, but she's still young so it's understandable. But those children deserve better. These parents seriously should redeem themselves well, and if they continue that way, living their lives as if their children are just side quests, then they don't deserve them. What do they think just waving their lives easily as if the children does not exist. Do they not think about the children? There's 2 children already so I doubt they're still in the, "oh well, my own life still matters, so let me resolve this then i'll remember about the other matters after."
IDK. The characters are infuriating. #－.－)
I say all this, but I read until the end so ╮(￣▽￣)╭
