Just thinking about how happy go lucky he is in the present with such a abuse is immediately making me think he dissociates and represes most of his memories.
Man they are just babies im so heart broken
THIS STORY IS MESSING ME UP GOOD. After every chapter I'm just filled with sadness.
Regardless of how long this story will be know it's going to be gut wrenching.
Mori clearly has some form of trauma from the cirle lights and then we have human child being raised by a aliens who live for like forever.
It's giving maquisa when the flowers bloom all over again. Relieving my trauma
Girl stop reminding me!!! I'm still trying get my heart ready to be broken
Okay yeah they were right it is peak.
This is actually peak I'm so sad I found it so early....
The best thing about this story is the character relationships the plot is a bit iffy as things happen for the sake of happening. A lot of plot events are rushed through extremely quickly and so called challenges are dealt with in 1 or 2 chapters. I have the most fun when I'm just reading about her going on dates with isaac, plotting with Dominic and hanging with the kids. Other wise it's kinda messy
It was alright quite fast paced for the things they were setting up. For how short it was I think the narrative they wanted to explore was to ambitious so things happened cause they needed to happen to fit in for the events planned. Causing a lot of characters to act very one way then the other the very next chapter.
Best part of this was the epilogue and it's funny cause it was the part that didn't have any plot. It was just cute family fluff and the author was really good at writting the kids and they didn't feel like jusr stereotypes/mini versions of the adults but like kids. It wad cute and nice
Without the epilogue it's like a 5.6/10 story with the epilogue it goes up to a solid 6.6/10
Despite the issues I have with the child and the abuse skar put him through cause he thought he left him this story was actually really good.
Sasha was such a complex character and I liked that a lot more than the classic weak mc, he went through so much and his mental health was very nicely portrayed, he was heavily depressed from not being able to dance despite being in a relationship with a man who loved him and a nice house not only that the abuse he suffered from being Austrian all culminated in a really nicely written depression arc for him and it was handled and kept through our the whole story cause these kinds of things stick and showing the ugly side of these types of mental issues helps lessen the stigmatisation of them.
Spoilers
I genuinely thought it was going to end witb the both of them dying either together or tragically apart pleasantly supprised as they alrdy went through quite a lot.
A solid 8.7/10
Okay I'm happy for them but why tf did they introduce that child only to neglect him the whole story.
This couple love each other so much I genuinely don't think they would ever have a child irl.
Like I just felt bad the whole time levin is literally his mother she has spent more time with that baby than anyone else in the story.
literally? like i feel like charles was a plot device
Yeah he was there so the story could end with them having a stereotypical happy ending.
I think making sasha obsessive over Charles (not in that way) to be like the one family member he will never loose sacrificing sleep eating over Charles would have been an intresting way of further exploring the reason he even adopted him in the first place
the child shows sasya’s guilt over his actions, something he never experienced with sending karel to prison (cuz he didn’t know). iirc he gave money to the baby’s mom that got her killed. sasya making a negative impact on someone’s life by doing smth, realizing and acknowledging this, and taking steps to resolve the issue, is something he never did with karel. sasya killed someone in self defense, was told to bury and deny the truth of his crime by karel and perhaps himself, and so things never resolved. yet he names the baby after his beloved. which brings me to another point the child is proof sasya loves karel despite karel’s doubt. the child isn’t there just so in the end they could have a happy ending
the child is also another excuse for sasya to become better from his terrible mental state. like levin said saysa can’t just buy more opioid and smoke wherever and whenever he pleases. he has a dependent he is responsible, it’s not just him he needs to take care of. gives him a good chance to set his head correctly
i think making sasya obsessed over charles is too different of sasya. man can barely take care of himself
One of the few romances that actually have the love interest have banter with each other besides flirtating.
Like they genuinely feel like BFFs who are also married.
There is actually tangible chemistry something so increadibly rare despite the many romances.
I fear she is going to die and her dying wish will be for him to live. Cause she knows for a fact he would kill himself cause he can't live without her.
Making a suicidal person live is extremely cruel when the one thing that made him want to live is gone. But he always stays true to his promises he makes with her
THIS IS GOING TO BE SO TRAGIC I CANT
