I love this so far, it's so realistic in the sense of how dark I imagine those times to be, you can see it in how opressed Anette lives, any mistake John might make would have been Anettes fault, rather all the males here trample over her and it's her fault, so everyone saying she is weak seems pretty dumb to me, she is an actual victim of years of abuse, unlike other stories set in this time where the female leads suddenly grow genius brain??? Lmao so unrealistic the second time they get to live they are so OP.....and an insane plot armor out of absolutly nowhere, we see Anette trying to save the one thing that she loves, John, in the only way she knows how in this male opressing time, and sadly her protection comes with no power, since from birth, she has none.
This is a read that should not be for everyone, it's obviously for people who can handle darker themes, but it's so far, a masterpiece, from narration, to characters and setting. So thrilling.
I have always loved this artists works, they just tingle my soul in such a gothic romantic way... I have been findin myself reading Pellua Iyagi many times already (the chapters that are translated) but still couldn't quite figure the puzzle... since the author always uses this light way writing style (sometimes with comedy) to avert you from the main issue.
But I feel like finally I understand why Orthez choose Felluah, why she chose Arthur, it was all thanks to Nox, she had quite clearly been influenced to the point of following him, she was probably going by the promise of visiting him. "What is there in Felluah. Nothing. Nox".
She probably knew everything being such a social butterfly about Arthurs situation, him being in love with another and probably saw it as a good buisness relationship, at least a marriage of convnience were both could take something from it, never to fall in love. Ofcourse never quite expecting he would end up falling for her quite like that persuing her endlessly. And now she is a mess. Denying herself of her own afections.
Getting to ger original goal of meeting Nox again, she looks anguished more than happy, taking a step backwards while he took a stepforward. After all she kept her promise and he too is probably gonna try and keep his.
I could be wrong because this author has proven to destroy my theories endless times, but this is what I gather from the complexity that is reading Pellua Iyagi. Hope Arthur and Orthez a happy ending with not much to drama, god knows i can handle so much.
