was thinking the hero character might end up weaker cause of loss of motivation from his childhood friend not being killed, but having his rival being heavily injured in a fight he pushed him to might be his new motivation
i was thinking that the "demon" lady was gonna turn out to be the mother. but I just remembered her mentioning having a little sister. so she could still be either the older sister to the new born or maybe even the older sister of the mother eternal dragon
oh my God the third life was a little sibling. that shit hit me in the feels and made me tear up. he now has something he didn't even know he lost the first time.
I think the way she said it may mean more to him than most. she said she wanted to be his and not that she wanted him to be hers. the idea of the later would've probably scared him into thinking he would lose himself again.
I'm gonna be honest I have no idea what is happening. Idk what either side did for this war to happen. should I reread the whole thing? maybe I'll get it if I read it all at once instead of a chapter every few months.
