The problem is that the story was just bad. The build up was minimal, there was only sex when there could have been some real heart-to-heart moments or discussions between the two. I'm still not even convinced the god loves Saki, if he's still that hung up on her ancestor, he certainly isn't. And if it's based on a trauma of her abandoning him, they did not address it.
Also I don't buy that Saki loves him, the author made it seem like this calculation was sufficient in creating a female lead: pathetic/pitiful = loveable. Nice to her + sex = I love you. BORING, have her wield a damn weapon, have her have a weird personality, have her slap him and demand answers.
Also the damsel in distress female trope is really just done so many times, it's like beating a horse three months rotted. The story was disappointing.
Everyone saying such negative things.. ^^;;; this is where the term "hopelessly in love" comes from. They're both hopeless, and in love. They both made mistakes and acknowledged them. Saki understands that Gaira doesn't have anyone else but Saya to compare her to, plus the PTSD he must have gotten from it. She understands him. This she can easily forgive. And while Gaira may have seen Saaya in Saki at first, he does eventually see just her and tries to apologize and make up for his wrongdoings. They both were basically desperate for each other.
And the SA? He was basically triggered and went temporarily insane. The only reason he became sane again was because Saki knew how to reach him and then reassure him that he was forgiven. Which was a big healing step for Gaira, and to help him move on from Saaya and love Saki for who she actually was.
Thanks for reading my ted talk. Now stop being so dang negative, go read fluff if that's what you really wanted. Like geez . .
