Have to say, after quickly going back and looking at the first chapter, it just seems like everyone, except the wolves, are complete a holes. Mc included, and as this goes on she just seems more and more to be just manipulative, vindictiveand and egotistical.
I think Reshutoka is way more aware and manipulative than she lets on. She is definitely not a golden retriever. There were some scenes with her that could support the theory that she orchestrated their meeting to play her own fairytale, starting with the fact that she obviously was not starving there in her baby wolf form, since she was at full strength, ready to take on a bunch of assassins and carry a girl to a faraway village shortly after. The quakes that lured Karina out of the castle were likely avalanches caused by her. There are also those scenes with her in chapters 2 and 3 where the beast peeks out.
The entire story is way darker than your average villainess yuri manga - it feels like everyone is manipulating and using everybody else for their own aims. The only "pure" people (seemingly) we've seen are Eve and Juno, and they will end up right in the middle of this entire clasterfu*k. The fact that every bit of information we are getting is subjective/presented by an unreliable narrator really helps with creating a story where all kinds of possibilities exist and almost nothing is "known". I guess they will use the good archivist, searching for truth, to present what actually happened. Or maybe her love for fairy tales will also end up skewing the narrative she will end up presenting. I wonder how her being a wolfman who left the village will end up playing into it - was leaving just voluntary and not a big deal, or is there something more behind it?
For now, I'm hooked by all the ambiguity.
