So I reread the first chapter and have my theory..that person who holding the person look more like a grandpa than grandma
Maybe it's ML reading mc letters she left?.. it's just my theory tho

It is the ML reading the letters that MC left.
“ A very old letter:
" Women are property and are exchanged like objects as gifts, don't get married "
Read by an old man, crying, wearing a simple kimono by the lake ML had shown to MC with fireflies as if read as many times they could have read it, tattered in an envelope.
He says to himself:
" And yet I did it myself, I fell in love with someone I shouldn't have"
Lonely and alone”

OMG I am so sorry I didn’t see it was yours, I shouldn’t have used it without giving you credit .. My apologies.
And yes, that proves it, atleast so I understood it, the fact that the old man is the ML. And if my memory serves me right, there was/is? a web novel and the ending was that similar of what the old man says: he fell in love with whom he shouldn’t have (MC) and consequently suffers the consequences. In the novel as far as I know, they made it out but then a series of unfortunate events happened and them came the time skip and that old man says that. But there could also be a possibility that this won’t happen since authors don’t always follow what the web novel says or that my memory is wrong and there is no web novel

No I didn't mean it like that, use my comment where ever u want, I wasn't asking for credit as well.
I thought u took my comment as spoiler so i was feeling bad ╥﹏╥
And i read a theory that it's not ml but sml since it doesn't make sense as their is no one ml or fl has who would write them a letter like that nor does it make sense fl wrote it to ml.
But still even if it's not ml it's still so freaking sad, my poor boy has suffered alot as well, give our smls a happy ending too they deserve it (/TДT)/

At this point...it was shown that Mc is getting thinner and her skeleton are showing on her chest already She have heart disease and she said she want mL to be happy even when she's gone so it's likely mc die...since she's already a skeleton in manga And it look like ML was the old man who is still left in the island with fireflies? ML is just straight up having series of tragedies

Not the subclass having dark shit past Help- Why are you doing this with tsubaki,him and his subclass are filled with angsty and unfairness.

The circus scene is coming...the most disturbing scene in novel

Spoiler -
Og heronie Nasha big sisters were sell into circus because of their family.Well,nasha was sell by her family too so it's not really a big deal but the big deal is that that circus show case about how magic monster beast impregnate human women and Nasha sisters were the one who's chosen to get fuck by magic monster and give birth baby magic beast.Well, although the beast treat them well, it's still a monster hardcore r@pe type.Also,Nasha little brother who is still a kid is also sold to circus master,and as you know,yea underage gay r@pe .The brother is supposed to be a sex slave for his buyer so they're teaching(forcing) him gay sex. And Nasha sisters make the magic beast rape Nasha.As a resolve ,she got pregnant by beast too. And Malaki have dark past as him getting sa by noble man every night inorder to feed the orphan at the church at young age,minor yes.And Malaki end up not being able to feel anything,his body is broke . Turn out the circus master is the among the one who make Malaki like that.And that guy make Malaki fuck a dudes who they prepare to show the slave kids(Nasha brother included),how to fuck. Malaki was threatened to do it again..guess he was force to do before too.
That's why in the manga,he said he got no dignity left to have in him.Deep disturbing shit.Nasha sisters arc is where Mc make ML choose, accept he's the bad guy and be his dog or kill him as enemy. Nasha x beast part come after that,and Malaki too.
Anyway, that circus was dark shit

one thing to mention about malaki is that he has an agreement w the head slave trader since most of the orphaned kids need to move out of the temple at a certain age, they either die or become slaves.. malaki bargains w the slave traders to ensure that the place the kids from the temple goes to is somewhere on a nicer end of prostitution or whatnot and malaki sleeps w the head slave trader to ensure that the kids being sold won't feel uncomfortable but pleasure... it's fucked up but malaki is without much resources to help everyone which is why he does what he do.
Rash on d*ck because he put it in the tree sound painful
nonono he just COINCIDENTALLY got a rash. def not the tree ( ̄∇ ̄")
