Hi, i replied to your comment (sorry if you're not the user who commented on mine) but when I refreshed the page it was gone. What I replied was:
Why was the mom written that way? She couldve been a neutral force. It's unnecessary to make a villain out of her. Honestly, out of everyone to turn into a villain, it had to be the mom. She already went through a lot. She deserves peace and happiness with her family of choice. Even tho she's the mc, the world shouldn't revolve around her, where if this character A doesn't love her, then they're bad. That's very one dimensionsal. And when I found out about that spoiler with the mom, I dropped this.
When I read the earlier chapters, i thought, well, I can respect her choice to prioritize her current family over the MC.
But then again, was she forced to do it? was she cornered? is it really right to sacrifice another child to save her own? other parents in the story also tried to save their child from military enlistment without going that far.
And also, was it the rational thing to do? Was it smart to sold out the only person capable of facing a mad tyrant, and stop the whole child soldier system?
But i thought, well, I don’t approve of it, but i can still respect it.
Then, i read the novel.
GAWD. EVERY SECOND OSCAR DID NOT MINCED HER TO PIECES IS A MIRACLE.
