Yeah. Even tho they have no name or face or any significant appearances, thinking about how they were probably lured in with promises of better life, turned out to they were only deemed as unimportant lives :(((
It's one thing I don't like with this story. The author just insert a character only to be killed the next chapter. I mean, they don't even do anything :((
Right?
Although frustrating, I find this so organic like yeah the character had no actual effect whatsoever and their death completely avoidable but there's also: "this is war" and it helps feel the story as tragic, infuriating and painful as it should be, in war everyone is affected, even the innocent and it's amazing (obviously this aspect is oftentimes over-used). But tbh, seeing the og novel, this adaptation is MUCH much more tame so I'm honestly grateful for that but it takes from the brutality of these bleak topics, like the mansion where Abel tries what he can to save the baby, just how violent Kara's can be in the boat w the sporadic killing and the prostitution of the Regas to other nobels.
I haven't read the novel just a few bits and pieces so I might be wrong tho
That's is sadly true. I understand the author just trying to depict war and the lives it affects.
And how much more tragic the novel is, I also saw some comments saying the same, that it is more graphic. That is what prevent me to read the novel, and as even in this far tamer version of the story, I still find it difficult to like Karas and his brutality :(
I know the regas are supposed to pull at the heartstrings but it's so sad they were prostituted since who knows what age, as seen in others chapters what regas are made to do, for their pretty boyish looks and surely all of the regas life have always been at the deck and call of these impulsive men... And at the end, after living without any speck of freedom in oblivious ignorance, bc I doubt they were educated at all, like a pet in a breeders den, they died in their sleep. I just hope they didn't wake up in the middle and suffer(｡ﾉn＼｡)
