Ik we were being tricked by his sweet behaviour there was some thingS off about him since the start.

I don't know how he could've made things any more obvious: a sociopath with OCD
The hunger for control over every aspect of his "wounded creature's" existence and the narcissism to believe it was for the creature's best: bro gaslit himself into thinking he's taking care of her
The fact that he was giving "gonna lock you up" ex boyfriend energy from the get go was the telltale sign of him being cuckoo in the head, pun intended

the duke: He was a man forced to commit genocide, forced or not, he did it. I don’t like nor sympathise with him but I understand him, he had two choices: massacre the Moira clan or have his whole family and vessels be executed for treason. He naturally chose HIS lesser evil for him(I argue it was NOT a lesser evil). He’s inherently a kind person forced to do evil but that doesn’t erase his doings. But I do hope the curse breaks for the sake of FL who is likely the clan’s descendent, I’m sure they wouldn’t like their little one to have a difficult life, he should contribute the rest of his life for the sake of reviving the clan with FL as ‘atonement’.
Crazy to me how many of you are sympathising with The sword Hero. I get he wasn’t meant to be the villain and was forced into that role by the Time Hero but in reality he IS THE VILLAIN of this timeline and his sad backstory doesn’t change that fact. Even he himself knows that’s not how he should be. It doesn’t change the fact that innocent people are paying the consequences.
I don’t care much about the hero of spear but he is not just the hero of Spear, he is someone who carries the other heros on his back. What makes him special isn’t himself but the fate that has fallen unto him and that is the legacy of previous heroes.
The time hero is a hero I like but also dislike. I understand that as long as no demon king killed him, the rest if humanity will have no future, even if no one was killed in those timelines, they all still ‘die’ once the Time hero dies. So I understand his reasoning behind his actions.
But I can’t help resenting him, if he was stronger, if he had a stronger will, he could’ve found a way to minimise the casualties of common people and the heros. even if not all could be saved in order to harvest karma. But then that will take a godly mental fortitude to achieve which he didn’t have especially as the sweet temptation of death was close to him. Even if he tried but ended up going crazy from all regressions, it’s highly likely he would’ve become the demon king instead.
Idk about you but a Demon King of return sounds even more frightening than the hero.
Would love people’s opinions on this.
