it's sooo weird, this dynamic that children (babies) r left to fend for themselves & only if they survive & show powers, they r noticed. but not enough to be shown care or love - just acknowledged.
they still have to keep fighting - such a weird dynamic -
hard to like any of the adults & i just feel so bad for the children (even heartbroken for all the babies that died being neglected & abused this way).
heck animals take care of their babies (only - sadly if the offspring is deformed or sick, they get abandoned) so i don't get why the author thought up such a dynamic in regards to animal-people. would think that combo would make the parents even more protective of their progeny - no? ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍

I think that even when his wife was alive he didn't really took care of them. None of the kids think of him as a reliable adult, only as father in name so it is quite possible that the wife took care of the kids mostly alone with the help of nanny and the maids. He loves his wife very much and took care of her but it really didn't matter to him if they have kids or not because the only important thing to him was his wife so when she passed away it was only natural he didn't care for them and ignored them, and the kids knew from the start that they shouldn't rely on him because he didn't care for them.
The family dynamic sure is strange because whales do take care of their children until they are adults but I think that the whale family here is f up because the author is trying o make the family more interesting ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭. If I understand correctly, rest of the families are normal (the dolphin family for example), it's just the whale family that is weird

when i started reading ur comment, even i thought how normal the white dolphin family is compared to the killer whales. (≧∀≦)
& i am sure u r right that he never cared for his offspring - even when his wife was alive. i was just wondering about this, cause he keeps thinking about her when he's around the MC. so wondered if anything would change.
but i wonder if his wife was a caregiver - as she was also a killer whale, so maybe she also just left her kids to the abusive nannies - as the oldest son hasn't mentioned his mother & he the only one, old enough to reminisce about the loss of a loving parent - no?!?

To tell the truth, I wouldn't be surprised if you're right about the wife. The whole family is fucked up. But I still hope that she cared for them and that the children are so independent because the rest of the family or because this is their personality (like, if the rest of the family are all like this so maybe it in the blood? Idk but it is possible that all the child characters are behaving like adults because it's their personality like in all of the manhwas where the child mc/ side and other characters are more mature than they are supposed to be so the story won't be boring...) and not because their mother was abusive too

why she think that? what's that supposed to mean? given how this progressed let alone ended, i don't see the MC as a "bad-guy" in any reincarnation she had, she was made out to be a villain - but she wasn't ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
but this has ended & it was great while i binged, so never mind Σ(  ̄□ ̄||) as i doubt i will get any answers lol

Right? I was thinking the same thing. But the novel she had read could’ve been manipulated to make it look like she was a villainess. Afterall the novel was a bait to bring her back to that world. It made it seem like Lina was the heroine and that she married Rouche who wasn’t actually Rouche but Michel disguised as him. So the novel is probably not too accurate because it never mentioned Seria’s relationship with Rouche in her past life. Rigel probably mixed some facts with the fiction in the novel. That’s my theory for now at least ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

he knows he doesn't stand a chance 3 against 1 (that's how he ended up in Jiwoo's care - let alone in animal form). so now, no matter how strong he has gotten, he knows he needs to divide & conquer.
him using Kartein & Pluton is just hilarious & a thing u do to ur bff's - drag them into a mess u created, so they can take part in the craziness ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ freakin luv Kayden.
but have to say i kinda wish he would stop wasting his power of inconsequential players like... Muras (in this chapter) he always does this & when ur injured or ur fighting someone very strong, wasting energy on a nobody is a waste of energy that can be focused on the main target. this worries me about him, as this can turn into his achilles heel Σ(  ̄□ ̄||) & as much as i don't want this to end i don't want anything to happen to Kayden.
side note: until now i don't think i have ever seen Kartein fight, but those wings - hot dame the dude is an angle - avenging angle i hope - lol (≧∀≦) i need my family not only to win, but be save at the end of this of this fight ┗( T﹏T )┛

heck this freakin unrealistic, how long can a person go on & on & on.... & the human body is hella fragile. here they unbreakable or something #-.-)
this was fun cause there was not only an end to the fights, but there was a point. let alone they were not the main point of the chapter, the character's where their growth was.
here neither Umemiya nor Takiishi that interesting to me, that i need to see so much of them, let alone need to know what makes them tick ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍ i don't care.
so i really hope the next chapter isn't more endless fighting, that leads to nothing - cause then ima drop (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

i get she is worried about her daughter & cause of the past she is over doing it, with how much she worries & cares - BUT she is crazy. her reactions & actions r Always(!!) to the extremes. & sadly Lyrica always has to comfort & calm her down. how this not also abuse? shouldn't she have gotten her act together by this stage?!?
the crazy way she behaves, i not only feel sad for her daughter but also for the Emperor (who was hurt/betrayed by his 1st love).
& if one crazy b*tch wasn't enough, we got the sadistic Baron - like WTF is her damage ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍ what is her end goal by experimenting on her(?) children? r they her children or they created through magic? need more info into that crazy mind.
also kinda of a miracle Fjord hasn't turned into a psychopath given his "upbringing" Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)

his father neglects him, while his mother abuses him. but as we can see, she was taught this behavior (1st hand) by her father. this a sad cycle that will keep repeating itself, unless the child gets help. only then it might stop.
that's why in the previous chapter i was angry at the MC for being a "mean girl" to him. i get it at the start, but after the previous chapter where she found out that he covered for her, to save her from his mother she should've started to change her attitude towards him.
idk if she will change & end up offering a helping hand, but i feel so sad & bad for him - i so don't want him to end up growing up in so much pain he turns bad Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)
we lost Kayden (⊙…⊙ ) & why the frack it gotta end at such a part.... now to wait a week OMO ╥﹏╥
