The bastard died too quickly… but at the same time I’m glad that this story doesn’t drag out plot points too long. Mixed feelings about the bloodbath though.., on the one hand Carlos and his people were justified after being hurt and humiliated like that… but the lack of a trial (even if it was a farce), bugs me a bit.

Yeah I get what you mean, it did feel a little rushed. Him healing right away like that felt kind of anti-climatic and the bloodbath thing is very tyrannical behavior. But the emperor always does have kind of that crazy look in his eyes, so while he's kind to a lot of people I wouldn't put it past him to be a tyrant given his upbringing and his curse driving him to the edge

This may sound cruel. But I honestly don’t feel that sorry for Dora. If her betrayal wasn’t going to get her into trouble, her trying to get Oli was. Maybe she would have survived her encounter with Oli, but given his nonexistent understanding of humans, more than likely he’d try to kill her; if she took things too far.

For those who have not read the novel, the outcome is fine… But I read the novel, and to be honest, it’s important that it’s Killian who says she’s a member of his family because in the story’s og plot, he was the one who was supposed to kill her. I can sort of forgive the stuff leading up to this point, but I cannot forgive the ML’s epic moment being stolen by the princess and his father… plus glasses guy lost his scene to the duchess… I wish there were two versions of this… one for the people who haven’t read the novel, and one for those who have.

I've not read the book, but I've been reading comments to get the lovely details..
I feel like the manwa swapped people around to give some of the characters some purpose and story arc. Since many novel readers complain that the mom didn't do anything.. now they made the mom so some of the thing
The princess arc here feels fitting and it a good pay off from all the chapters when they gradually got closer. If ML was the one who said all this, he could be accused of being bias, or blindsided.
After seeing Lando’s “collection” (a little on the fence about that), I think even in the first timeline he loved Helen. However, because she was so obsessed with helping her brother, Lando couldn’t get her attention, and so he worked with Finny. But then things went downhill for Helen and she was executed. And in his grief, Lando prayed to the God of Light to turn back time. But as with all stories of this nature, Lando had to pay a price, and forgot about his previous life.
