I totally get where you’re coming from but at the end of the day all these characters are just created by the author so it would make sense for her to feel bias towards them since they are her creation to begin with
By that logic the other aristocratic, the one with the dented skull, should've also gotten a better ending since he's also a character that the author created and would therefore have bias towards, but he got a very brutal life and death even though he did similar things to mc's brother, so no I think the bias is specifically towards the brother and it's not because he's one of their creations.
Am I the only one who got the impression that the author likes the brother?
I mean, otherwise there'd be no reason for him to get a happy-ish ending. Not only did he survive a fatal injury, it led him to forget all the horrible things he did and the people he hurt, as well as having him conveniently leave the country right before civil war broke out meaning he was spared from the conflict, and he's still rich somehow. It feels like he was given the best ending he could've gotten considering how much of a scumbag he was, and for no reason too, since the story was already over and there was no reason to attempt to redeem him like that.
I still like this story a lot for all the amazing things it has, it was just this singular choice of the author's that ticked me off and I wanted to know if anybody else felt that way too.
