I for one, LOVE this manhwa for how it portrays this vicious cycle of hate, karma and revenge. My opinion on the characters is I don't hate either Klopp or Aeroc. I've seen a lot of people hate Klopp for how badly he treated Aeroc especially in the first timeline and many people think Klopp is a horrible person through and through who is unbefitting not only Aeroc but also Rapiel. To me, Klopp of course wouldn't be considered a good person but neither would Aeroc. They both have many flaws and of course we tend to side with the main character whom we experience the story through is Aeroc. Aeroc did a horrible thing--although unintentionally-- still ended up causing Rapiel and his child to be brutally assaulted and then die tragically. The rage and lengths to ruin Aeroc's life is completely understandable from Klopp's POV. Yes, he goes to even further lengths to torture Aeroc which sometimes goes beyond justification. But if you think of it as karma for his sins, Aeroc did suffer many of the similar things that Rapiel suffered. Ex: Being brutually raped, having miscarriages, dying the exact way Rapiel died.
Like I said, there is a beautifully tragic message about this vicious cycle of revenge. It's an eye for an eye but that leaves the world blind. And yet if you ask a lot of ppl, what they would do, they would do the something similar, same or worse than Klopp. Somebody feeling so betrayed and hurt like that won't stop to think whether its wrong or whether it is justified. They want that person to suffer as much if not more than what they felt. Klopp even said himself that he gained some satisfaction for exacting his revenge but at the same time felt like he created his very own hell. No matter how much Aeroc suffered, it was never enough for Klopp. Moreover, he felt disgusted and prob guilty that he felt any love/affection for Aeroc, the person who killed his previous mate and child. When I had first read this and found out what Aeroc did, I was like OH, that's why he's in this state and that's why Klopp treats him so horribly. So tbh I don't understand the hate for Klopp.
One important aspect missing from the first story that I learned from spoiler is the fact that Klopp actually imprinted on Aeroc basically from the beginning which is part of the reason why he couldn't stay away from Aeroc and everything unfolded the way it did. They both suffered a lot to be honest and it was unfortunate that things had to happen that way but it is what it is.
As for the 2nd and 3rd timeline, I think the 2nd timeline is proving to be more interesting with Klopp's POV and Aeroc's regression so in a way it's a 2nd chance for Aeroc to choose differently and NOT let his jealousy dictate his actions. The 3rd timeline apparently is Klopp's regression but as somebody else commented, what if there was a timeline where both remember what happened? I think that is far more intriguing than what we have bc this entire story really is about karma and 2nd chances, What would they do differently if they had the foresight? I imagine in a timeline where both regressed, they both would've chosen differently. In an ironic way, this story is questioning if you had the 2nd chance, would you do things differently? But would it end the same way? How much can you control with your actions and how much is predetermined by uncontrollable forces?
