Aight i finished rereading all chapters out and I wanna give my very honest opinion. What Aeroc did is horrific. Yes he didn't mean for it to go THAT badly when he asked the thugs to "punish" Rapiel. But anyone with a tiny bit of critical thinking will know that anything they'd have done would've terribly hurt Rapiel. Even if he didn't die, he'd have lost his baby. Now, did Aeroc deserve to be punished for this crime? 100%. But by the police. They'd have been able to take care of his punishment whether it be life in prison or execution. The way Kloff went with the punishment was very extreme. And the story being from Aeroc's pov will inevitably make you sympathize with him. You'll end up feeling horrible because what happened to him was absolutely heinous. That being said, If i were Kloff. And someone caused my wife and unborn child to die in such a horrific way, I'd have 100% done the same. Except i'd have never felt even an ounce of remorse towards the murderer. Imagining myself finding my lover like that is absolutely horrifying. I'd do everything in my power to make the reason for my family's tragic fate live a life a thousand times worse than death. Which is what Kloff basically did. Kloff still is an asshole for other reasons but thinking about this and putting myself in his shoes, yeah i'd make Aeroc suffer too. Maybe not in the same exact way but he won't be getting an easy life that's for sure. Same with the thugs he hired
I must agree with you because what Aeroc has done to both Kloff and Rapiel is entirely insane and horrible because of Aeroc's jealousy within him. I understand the punishment that Aeroc gave to Rapiel; he should've known what would happen next, and at the end of the day, he became very apologetic and guilty for what he did when Aeroc was about to die. Hoping that in the future, he will change and fix his mistakes and let go of his hatred. As for Aeroc's second life, he can make things right by allowing Kloff to be with Rapiel, but as you can see until the end, Kloff wants to be with Aeroc and calls off the engagement with Rapiel. This was shocking for me, but at the same time, I was hoping that Aeroc and Kloff would be happy together and let the past go away.
If you haven't read the novel, you might not know that in the 3rd timeline, OG Kloff admitted he had feelings for Aeroc in the 1st timeline and felt insecure about it. In the 3rd timeline, Aeroc didn’t have his memories, and something happened during their first encounter. Aeroc, and I emphasize Aeroc, strongly rejected Kloff. But Kloff—yes, OG Kloff—still approached him. In the 3rd timeline, Kloff admitted he loves Aeroc and wanted to be with him in the next life so he could apologize and tell him that he loved HIM
Aeroc did terrible things, but in the second life, Kloff admitted that his marriage with Raphael was purely for the purpose of 'settling down.' In Kloff's monologue, he says, 'The marriage will be so peaceful that it will become boring.' So, thinking that Kloff truly loved Raphael is probably wrong. Kloff used him as a replacement because he didn’t want to engage in an alpha x alpha relationship due to prejudice.
Aeroc admitted he was wrong in the novel. His PTSD hadn’t healed, and he accepted every punishment. On the other hand, Kloff blamed Aeroc alone but purposely provoked him. I’m not taking sides, but I don’t like how Kloff's fans only criticize Aeroc and forget how much pain Aeroc went through. Even from Kloff's point of view, Aeroc's punishment feels much worse. In many novels and manhwas, antagonists either face death or lose their powers, but in Aeroc's case, it was the worst kind of life. Like I said, 'When the punishment is worse than the crime, it becomes a crime itself
Finally finished reading the novel so here i am rereading the manhwa. This is definitely the best adaptation i have read of a novel. Every other manhwa/hua skip so many details that It's not as enjoyable. This one is allergic to skipping anything which is just chef's kiss.
Though now that i know how much plot is left, this will probably be completed in like 3 years with the current pace of updating and hiatus'
I knew this would happen. I'm so done lmao
This have me flashbacks to a novel i read before and now i'm absolutely sick to my stomach i never wanted to remember what happened in that novel but this just gave me flashbacks i'm abouta go into a week long depressive episode again rip i'm dropping this if it weren't for this flashback istg this is what i get for reading shit thinking i can handle it when i'm actually a pussy
