Yes. Yes. God means the writer of the story/novel. The villainess had a happy ending because she (kid) became the new God/writer of their story chuchu.
If I recall, the world was already ending because it had no god, regardless if Eris stayed or not the world was doomed. But because Anakin and Eris gave the Witches some kind of ingredient or requirement for investing in a new god, that world can continue. Hence why she called them saviours.
Oooohhh
And was this also the reason why they were so helpful to Eris?
Because it allowed them to
- get "rid" of the key figures of the "prev world" / "orig story" (cp, dragon slayer, and corrupt priest)->trinity of male leads that's inadvertently leading the world to ita doom
- allowed two key women to move "outside the system" / against the "orig story"-> now, there's a trinity of women shaping the "new world" / "new story" (the witch (power), helena (society), and the girl (writer) )
OoooOo thank you explaining this. Also why did Helena turn so cold at the end?
My take:
From her experiences with Eris, she realized she doesn't have to nor should she continue to subject herself to the whims of royalty / people in power
(She wasn't truly in love w/CP nor held true aftection for the other ml's, she was kind and affectionate to them only for her survival 'coz she was a powerless commoner stuck in the palace)
Also, I like to think she knows that none of the three are worth the "true love" or affection and that they're actually quite shits.
Since she's in a position of power, she doesn't have to pretend she likes them anymore
Don't get me wrong, I love the ending. I'm just unsure about a few things
- is the cp's retribution is that the "geniune" affection that he sought for by doing all that shit, forever out of his reach?
- is helena's conclusion becoming a proper empress (who'll hopefully address the twisted system the ex-royals proliferated)
- why and how is the kid to be god? Why must the god be replaced?
