WHERE TF IS THE TRAGEDY TAG. I DIDNT SIGN UP FOR THIS. Five year long wait and that’s how it ends. I feel empty inside. Y’know that audio “you were a wonderful experience.” Yeah, that’s how this story should be a described as the FL’s journey.
That was the vague hint. So if yall still want to know what happens, this is my review with actual detailed spoilers. So no going back now if you look past this point: - - - - - - - -
It honestly feels like nothing was actually resolved. All the problems were left as is. It really was just the journey of the FL having an unforgettable experience and forming connections, and that’s it. We don’t find out or even see a single hair of the humans that took all the mermaids. There was absolutely no lead on that. And nearly everyone was just offed off-screen. Only two survivors. And I can’t say it’s a good ending for the ML. He’s just left depressed. He went from being lonely to lonely AND depressed. It’s an open ending where he just closes his eyes and imagines being with the FL, that’s it. We don’t know what happens after that.
FL’s parents got took or killed by humans, while she was killed by her own kind. It’s true that the mermaids aren’t different from humans. It’s a cruel system they have. Sure it’s realistic that most of the mermaids won’t change their mindset of hating humans or killing their own kind who goes against that. But it’s so sad that NOTHING was resolved and everyone just has to move on from it. FL got her parents taken from her, her own future, separated from her love, and got her own life taken away. Her only little piece of happiness was that she felt relieved she could protect her two important people in the end.
The only plus is that there’s 2 side story’s. It’s a “what-if” everyone who was killed was alive. A happier ending.
