i finished this a few days ago but it was so emotional that i had to let it simmer in my thoughts for a bit.

i actually think that their toxicity was the best match because in the start, mc couldnt open up her heart properly knowing that everyone she had close to her would end up dying and leaving her behind. so all she knew in her head was to enact her revenge and basically make their deaths "worth it" in a sense.

the issue with this mindset was with will and their firstborn son. she only knew how to use him and she was 100% aware of it. of course with the ml always hiding things from her, it only enabled her behavior of keeping him at an arm's length and continuing to use him. at the same time, will only knew how to be loyal to rein, even if that meant enacting his own method of revenge at the cost of rein's emotional state. im not excusing either of their actions esp not the mc's bc she basically ends up repeating the generational trauma onto her own son. i always hated how parents would take their hatred of their spouse onto their kids so that was truly disgusting for me to read. but im glad they ended up growing and improving their parental love towards their children in the end.

i know a lot of people are calling mc and ml trash "that only deserve each other" but this is actually the most realistic human behavior in all the manhwas ive ever read. they embody the human nature perfectly and show exactly what would happen to human beings in similar situations as them, that's why i feel like neither of their reactions were unbelievable or excessive. they reacted just as how any other human being would have and i think thats what makes this manhwa so perfect.
