The backstory is meant to give insight on HOW Sol and Brian became lovers. From the rough life Brian had before Sol came, to Sol and Brian’s rough start, to learning to trust and communicate better, to trust, to love, to wanting a brighter and better future, to the creation of their own Nation. This should sound familiar because this is the same story Ian and Sol are dealing with currently. They are just putting the steps out of order. We are meant to LEARN about the personalities and development of Sol and Brian in the past that mirror/compare to the present with Sol and Ian. The political drama is just fluff to set the setting and mood to keep us busy so it’s not a one dimensional backstory. Why should you care about Brian? Because Brian and Ian share a connection that started with Brian. Without Sol being here with Brian and infusing him with magic so he can reincarnate with his memories of his past life carrying over to his future lives, we probably wouldn’t have Ian who is Brian’s reincarnation. They are different people with the same personality in different time periods going through similar hardships. The goal of the story is about the journey of falling in love again after a long time apart and testing if the feelings still remain the same after so long. I also don’t get why people hate Brian so much and put Ian on a pedestal. THEY ARE ONE AND THE SAME. THEY ARE CONNECTED. Ian is currently misunderstanding the situation and Sol forgot how to communicate like a lover because it’s been a long time. Brian is just Brian. Deceased. Period. Point blank. Now please just try and enjoy the story. Or skip it, we don’t care! Just stop posting the same stupid “bring back the present story” comments! There is a reason to the madness. Seriously, the author can’t even setup the first stage leading into the tragedy later without people complaining.
Honestly it's not that backstory is a bad thing. I bet many people want to learn more about past occurences. Honestly, I don't think many people would've minded it if the season 1 didn't with Sol & Ian's fight. The feeling of being left hanging with all these anxiety might really drive someone crazy, so I understand if people are mad about it. It might've been better if they at least ended S1 with Ian making up with Sol and regaining his past life memories somehow through a dream. Then goes to past life arc for season 2. Just a thought of mine. ^-^
But I also don't understand why some people hate Brian but love Ian. They look the same, and they are essentially the same person. They just have different name..and hair color. Maybe they are taking out their frustration out at Brian cuz they're enraged that Ian's case was left hanging and unresolved.
I don’t relate to other people’s hatred for this backstory. I support whatever direction the author chooses to take; and well, if we lose a lot of readers on that journey, then it’s that reader’s loss. We all need to slow down in life, develop some patience and understanding, and just enjoy the moment. I’m disappointed that majority of the readers are giving the author this hate for their story and characters. Stop reading the story if you are THAT bored. No, we will not tell you when the flashback ends because then you’ll scratch your head when there is a detail in the current time that was covered in the past time AND THEN we would have to fill you in because of your laziness and/or impatience? Absolutely not. YOU do better.
true like you'll never understand whats happening if it wasnt for this backstory
Easier said than done unless you've waited for almost a year (me) yeah just no. Im probably gonna let this thing marinate for 5 years, that's just better.
I am dropping this story.
But I'm betting that nothing of importance happens, because nothing has yet. I still know what I knew before.
Brian was a great knight and the dragon loved him. All the details of political struggle doesn't add anything to that. Even their interpersonal actions are generic and there hasn't been anything special. Boring
Chapter 42 pg 21. I would like to believe that is Dyne with Rail. Dyne’s hair is shorter, but I think that it was an error. But yeah, I wasn’t expecting Dyne and Rail action so soon either! Sign me up!!
