I don’t think the ending was bad, it actually surprised me a bit. This story does have a more serious tone so a happier ending would’ve felt a bit out of place.
I’m glad Noah got the “closure” he needed with his father. I think the ending would’ve been a bit more satisfying to me if Dylan understood that Noah didn’t just do that because “he can’t live differently” or that “he can’t change”, I feel like he WAS ready to change but he lost control when he saw the man that abused him for years, honestly I can’t blame him for that. He killed his abusive father and a guy who beat his wife multiple times and from what he said his other victims weren’t good people either so am I not supposed to support him? lol
Dylan was a very traumatized character. Imagine being kidnapped and feeling conflicted about your feelings for the man who kidnapped you, and if that wasn’t enough you’d keep having hallucinations of him even after his death (a death that you couldn’t even remember if you were responsible for). That translator’s note saying he had the worst character development ever did bother me a bit…
And yes I also feel bad for Jade but we have to agree that he got the best ending out of everyone lol I try to see the whole situation as him getting the chance to say a proper goodbye to Scott… kind of. I’m being a Noah defender here again but he did feel very bad for Jade and did wish that he could’ve lived a happy life with him but unfortunately he knew that wouldn’t work out for any of them.
Oh well I didn’t expect this review to be so long but here it is. It was a good story! It’s not a story where you can look at a character and say they are totally bad or good because their situations are not simple, it’s a story that makes you reflect a bit after finishing it and I think that’s great.
