Huh the ending was just.....too easy? When Sonju first made the declaration that he wanted to continue hunting and eating humans, I thought he may actually be a real threat later, cuz the kids consider him a friend, so imagine that conflict of him wanting to hunt, and them not being able to live with the reality that their "friend" is a predator, but it just got glossed over because the power of “love” from the kids. His reaction was cute, ig. But still. And the royal dude brother guy with the two cores.....he was so happily murdering all these kids just to give up power last minute because he had an epiphany upon his resurrection and miraculously he was actually against the reign all along. I’ve seen people say the ending was rushed and not as satisfying but I thought I’d ignore that and go into this with an open mind. Guess they were right. Still a decent read over all.

as an anime only watcher, i was hoping I didn't need to read the manga, cuz I was hoping since s2 was an anime original, it would be "good" in its own way as a different story but ya know what, even as an anime only watcher, I felt something was off about it. so here i am, reading the manga starting from ch 38 cuz that's where s1 ended.

Was this supposed to be deep? I don't know, I wasn't really feeling it. I thought the sequence of things felt forced in order to elicit some kind of reaction out of me (that reaction I presume is supposed to be some kind of empathy with the characters), but it just did the opposite and made me feel uncomfortable in a cringey way.

Idk of it was supposed to be deep, but more than empathy I think the author was going for a nostalgic mood. At least that's what I felt and I though it was really well done in that regard. I think the sequence of things was more to show us how the characters were feeling and how things were comming to them a little forced and how this things made them feel and changed them a bit. Though it did made me feel weird it's more cause I hate feeling nostalgic, but I actually liked it and thought that was well done if that was what they were going for, also cause the mc wondered to himself more than once why he was feeling nostalgic and where were this feelings comming from, so that also made me think that's what the author was going for:)
i nearly gagged.
