1. The time travel already hacks into the morality and social scrutiny of age gap (esp one so daring like this one) but the execution has me forgetting lmao
2. It's more about a two people chained by their past and has now wrecked it all with a proud middle finger
3. It's just exhilerating!! The raw thrill that i feel woth beriko's way of drawing and showing hpw theor characters free themselves
4. It says fuck you to the brother who imposes a way of living, not out of true concern, but out of selfish desire for control and dragging others to live the way they do (lowkey how i feel about a lot of things tbh haha)
I liked the desperate alta, the daring ile. But then it became a trope of separation, marriage, and amnesia with a sprinkle of whatever Toguto does for these idiots. For Slen and Toguto, there's this flatline. An intensity is apparent with Slen's way of doing things and how low toguto's eq is. But the emotions it began with just decreased, i dont even feel satisfied that Alta and Ile became together because Ile became more expressionless. There is also little artistic drama for Slen's possessiveness... the 2nd couple became a "fine, let's deal with them". No confrontation towards the king was it or whoever that old man was.

It started cliche, then continued to dig deeper into a shallow stab until it fully pierces your soul and smile at your own killer. Every character has a strong desire and the end is so satisfying. My eyes are swollen reading it in one sitting. Actual strong WOMEN characters, and a token loveable man HAHAHA

SPOILERSSSS AND PERSONAL ESSAY LMAO
This story is driven by the EVERY character's strong emotion instead of the plot (and the line is vague because of the "law of causality"). Every SINGLE one of them are stubbornly aiming at something which makes their ends so satisfying. The process for Eris (like did we even learn her actual name, or did i just forget? A reintroduction wouldve been nice) to get home was complicated, I was honestly confused. The mental leaps of Hubris, Jason, and Alec also make them the most toxic men LMAO. They hear so many yeses in a woman's no. Helena is actually well written because she managed to strip away her pretenses yet also showed that she is truly kind despite her mom's "keep smiling" advice for self preservation... It's neither "im just dense" nor "white lotus" acting. Despite Anakhin being the ONLY decent man in this story, it highlighted how among those who desire something and was somehow met by a woman, they have their due diligence to respect their opinion (granted he is also at the extreme spectrum of devotion, but in this world of extreme blindness, he's perfect). It's kinda apparent in the Emperor and Empress ngl. The emperor made a mistake yet stubbornly tries to hold on to the Empress, and in his last attempt to receive his wife's vengeance, he accepts dying for her (WITH her most probably coz that fits his selfish guts lol). Also, even Eris shows that Selfishness of even requesting Anakhin to die with her.
At the end, everyone had a strong desire for something. Medea says the most accurate quote which drives a lot of what the story is about: Men made the rules, they dont need to "break" them.
They had the upperhand in being direct about their desires while women have to bid their time because even being an Empress didn't help a mother save his son. She was still a wife. Maybe her only power as she realized was using the emperor's 'affection' to finally deal with him and her both.
It's just sad how much of a domino effect it is that despite saying Men made the rules, it's also a matter of women having to acknowledge their own power that is so entangled with a man's. Their power to affect men (this is why we have manipulative women,no?), the power to affect their child (as a mom, the empress caused alec's attachments), the power to support another woman (the maid being a key to having her mistress' wish to be granted or even Helena consenting to Eris, like bruh. And eris trying to support Helena's choices).
TL;DR
Every character had a desire so strong that they begin to source out their power. Men would have obvious powers as "men make the rules", but women, in their most desperate, will bend and break those rules with a power that persists as much as it was suppressed. And I love how "dramatic" the story was, really pokes fun of "women are so dramatic with their grudges" but then you see all men but anakhin going "WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO??".

I scroll past her scenes so fast, i just skipped to when Remelia gained momentum for her revenge and then skip panels when Pina's ugly mug appears again
╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
there is this clip or snippet where a woman is dancing alone but whenever she passes a curtain, the moonlight reveals a shadow that she dances with. And the dance is the common embrace and twirls. I'm oddly reminded of that when the last scene involved an invitation to dance.
Istg it didnt seem to end like that. Im not sure if ive read this before, but that cut off just snapped something in ne.
I stopped at ch8 coz while i know it couldve been a "first thought in my mind", it just felt out of scale and im not interested to further follow a story where one of them sincerely wants to know more about the other person who happened to match a silly matchamaking app (coz he didnt even think abt the app and just became starstrucked on his own) and the other WANTS to be with him but easily gives up when the app didn't match and already judged him negatively because of his own insecurity...totally dismissed the sempai's feelings and justified it as concern.
It tells me that he wasnt really looking at the blond guy for himself but by how people idolized him (so he imitates him and puts him in a pedestal) and he wasnt listening to the sempai's confession (because see how he interprets it when he overheard them?)

Ofc it's the sex partner who gets to act cool and admonish the coward HAHAHA. The pacing and execution are tedious and it only gets interesting when they manage to have some semblance of dialogue and conflict. Also, not drawing his sex partner's face but making them an actual important character in the end is so last minute lol. Had me a lol confused when another blond guy appeared and some conflict occured.
