idek at this point, there could be some bastard violating the Geneva convention like it's a checklist and still be 'redeemable' because hot+tragic.
There was a perfectly good Argio right there, and MC has to go around first sleeping with a barely legal kid young enough to be his student and a rapist eggplant. MC's standards keep dropping so low they're going to drill up oil soon.
There's just a ton of unfortunate implications to a relationship if, say, you are the only one who can charge your abusive, neglectful spouse's pacemaker - a pacemaker that sets off a nuke once it stops - then either you're stuck sacrificing your life and happiness for your abuser or you walk away knowing the damage you may cause to not just your spouse, but to others potentially around him. It's not just a matter of finding a supportive family at that point.
Not that it matters though, since it looks like the author is going the cowards route of gaslighting the MC - how everything she experienced under the ex was really just someone else's fault and how him neglecting and isolating her is all fine because he did it out of love/to protect her/whatever BS the author pulls. And if the saint, some random side chick becomes the 'real' villain to wash away the ex's transgressions - that hits way too close to real life 'justifications' for abuse.
Hopefully they bring in more guides and espers and unbond the ex so MC can live her new life without baggage, but I'm pretty sure that's too much to ask of a story like this.
Is the goddess we see at the start a fake? Did cage killing the goddess immediately kill Tia? That seemed like it all happened in one lifetime since that was the only time he was growing older... Wasn't killing the goddess the thing that caused the time loops, and not becoming a demon king, whatever that means?
His original fate was to kill the demon king as a hero, so becoming a demon king makes a loop...how? Wouldn't suicide kinda mean that the hero 'killed' the demon king, unless there was some rule that said the hero can't die? Is the first emperor just a background npc for cool fights, and did the job class system actually matter?
What even is the story??
The reason killing the goddess of love kills Tia was explained earlier. I think it was that immortal emperor who was saying that killing a god would place a curse on the killer, and that curse would be related to the type of God, so they were wondering if he had killed a god of time to cause the looping. Instead we find out he killed the goddess of love, so the curse that comes with that is the person he loves dying ig.
I think the reason it keeps looping is because he is the demon king. So the timeline requires the hero to kill the demon king to naturally progress. The MC is no longer the hero because he now has the role of Demon king, so the summoned new hero was the only one that could be allowed to kill him to have the natural order continue to progress (I would assume? Though I think he's about to come back so idk). I'm thinking of it like a glitch that the world keeps trying to correct, so it loops again and again until the correct progression takes place.
That's what I got from everything, I'm sure if I remembered the rest of the manga properly itd make more sense haha
