revenge stories are great, but redemption stories can be good too

The ending was bittersweet, but I would say that I enjoyed it overall.

-Controversial take apparently, but Allen staying away from Tia in the end was for the best. What he felt for her was not healthy at all. It was obsession. Obsession that was so bad that he was becoming delusional and hallucinating about her, and caused him to side with those who wanted to destroy her family just to attack her father, who only wanted to protect his child.

-I'm conflicted about Carsein. Honestly he was my favorite even though it was obvious he never stood a chance against the other two. I wish they could've remained in contact in the end, but I guess his decision was also made in his best interest like Allen. I hope he finds a mean woman who will step on him like his brother and dad.

-Jieun's behavior towards Tia was of course unreasonable, but towards Ruv it was more understandable. She was just a teenager who was suddenly sent to another world and thrusted into a position of power. She was constantly judged by everyone, was compared to Tia, and was expected to be on par with her despite her having zero experience or training before being made queen. The man she loved only showed her "love" because he wanted to hurt another woman. And once that woman was gone, he wouldn't stop comparing Jieun to her and becoming rapidly more cruel due to the poison making him irrational. Then he left her and their child to die alone. I'd want this dude to choke too. Jieun and Tia were both victims.

-Another Controversial Take: Current Ruv isn't the same as Alternate Timeline Ruv and shouldn't be punished for crimes he didn't commit. They're not the same. "But look at what he's capable of!" He became like that due to the adults around him failing to give him the love and support he needed and because he had all that time to let his hatred and resentment of Tia, the one he viewed as stealing everyone's love from him, fester. That was obviously nipped in the bud since he changed once he actually got to know Tia and was able to open up.
