It is not the end game that is making the story messed up, but the way it was developed. There is no basis for their love and Tia, despite the brutal abuse of the first timeline, never got over is feelings for him. You have read until the trial about who should be the Empress right? So, tell me, what did Second Ruve do until this point that could have made Tia reasonably fall in love despite what she had to go through? Nothing. He neglected her and then finally started action a little more decent... That is literraly all when Allen and Carsein both have already proven themselves. And yet, here she is, in love but not acting upon it just because she is sure that he is fated with Ji-eun and she will be abandoned again. Even psycho Allen is a better fit at this point and I am not even a fan of him. For the record, the manhwa actually had to make him less of a jerk in both timeline AD tone down the chemistry between Tia and the others potential love interest... That is saying it all.
IM NOT SURE IF WHAT ILL SAY WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS (i think it wont but idk lol)
im glad that i gave this manhwa a chance even after reading the (horrible) spoilers. a lot were saying that ruve was an as shat, and yes he was at the 1st life BUT there was a reason and you will pity him after reading that (i did i almost cried for him). i think the things people were saying about ruve that he's still a useless prick in the second life is just exaggerated rumors and didn't get a character development or what. imo they didn't understand or they didn't clearly read the manhwa. he's obviously showing a different persona compared to his 1st life self. and a spoiler ive read solidified that fact when i tried to compare 1st life ruve and 2nd life ruve.
im excited how they're gonna draw the scenes from the novel since im gonna start reading starting from these scene. oh! and i also i hope they'll include ruve's pov as well. so the readers will understand why he was like that during the 1st life.
on second thought, maybe they changed things from the novel in this manhwa so that's why im liking this version. i'll see after reading the novel LMAO
BUT DONT GIVE UP ON THIS MANHWA. I WANNA CRY JUST THINKING THAT I DROPPED THIS MANWHA A WEEK AGO. LUCKILY, I DECIDED TO "FUC K IT. IT'S BETTER TO REGRET READING IT THAN NOT READING IT. IT'S QUARANTINE I HAVE NOTHING TO WASTE MY TIME ON" ^____^
