Peak Chapter

Damn... Vassago you are a real one

Glad this is a work of fiction, imagine the rage if the people who mutilated her arms does not get retribution.

I understand the thought process behind it though.

Imagine for a second you are one of these peasants. You know the rage, despair and grief you felt at the loss of your own family. You know what you would do if you had the power to take revenge or address the situation.

Now here is a person who is literally a walking WMD. They can conjure forces which you are helpless against at the drop of a hat. No matter how good of a person you know them to be, you know the pain and suffering of watching your family die in front of your eyes. Even worse, you know you and your fellows are the one of swung the blade that killed them. Knowing they feel the pain you do, but have almost unfettered access to power? That sort of fear would drive most people to very bad things.

Of course, for us readers with distance to the situation and being inside of the head of the character in question knows it won't happen and can feel just how fucked up and wrong it is, but that is the power of the 4th wall and distance from the situation at play.

And in the world of supernatural forces, karma exist. A moment of emotional impulse might just lead to a lifetime of generational curse for wretched behaviour of repaying kindness with malice. Would have been more satisfying for the readers if the author showed the consequences of a missing healer due to their own actions.

eradicating the person he was is just utterly disgusting. denying a persons life by deleting every reason he had to live is nothing but humiliation. this chapter felt really repelling. and the husband should have taken revenge on the villagers. so why didnt they cut off his arms too? they mutilated his wife. he had all the reasons for murdering the villagers too.
and she just swapped her loved one out for a cheap illusion...

Might not have been the best choice but it was what Magnolia believed it would help her lover the most. As Vassago said, foolish, so tragic, and yet so precious.

 

[Saybah]

This chapter is insane man

 

[le3]

Cry
Crying
Cry a lot

 

[RakshaJaeger]

Maaan what the hell, I was not ready for this The husband was in the wrong too, what would have happened if he succeeded in hanging himself ? His crippled wife would have been left all alone, with the people who took her arms…
I wish we saw the consequences of crippling the only healer of the village falling on the villagers too, bad behavior should always have consequences
Thanks for the translation

 

[The_Lurker]

Well that was sad

 

[realmacker]

Wait wait wait something doesn't make any sense
This was tragic
"No good deed goes unpunished"
.....
I mean think again, nobles have power + magic, the alternate end probably more tragic than this though

Are you stupid? Your very fact disapproves your point. A walking WMD could have killed you if she didn't willingly submit herself. They abused her kindness. Next factor being Ronnie, if this wasn't Japans medieval paradise, Ronnie would 100% kill all the villagers by just shitting in the well. At medieval times a wound is enough to kill, what are they gonna do call a healer? Just her existence is proof enough for no healer to ever come to this village. Not to mention the kingdom would wipe the village as treason if news reached out they attacked a healer they pardoned in Leu of disownment.

Cutting someone's hand doesn't make them stop pursuing revenge but the peasants might be unaware of it as they are fking stupid. Historically those whose fangs are plucked out only strike back harder. The whole situation was japanified if anything.

Worst writing I have seen in my life especially because so much thought was put into it. It's like seeing a masterpiece of dogsht.

The ending reminds me of Memento

 

[_coon_feetus_yeet]

this was one of the most stupidest things ive ever read. im not even gonna go into it but this woman deserved what she got if this was her thought process.the villagers actions while obviously stupid are in the realm of possibility seeing what we know of our own history. But her submission to them is lunacy. Especially the sheer patronisation of them offering to take care of her. If she only has access to healing magic than the villaigers decision is pure stupidity but we are already past that point. If she does have access to other elements you cannot expect me to believe she couldn't escape from random ass village muggles. Her willing to make peace with people whove shown their true colours is the mark of a retard. And not even to bring up the fact she changed the very essence of the man for her own selfishness in the name of the greater good of his sake. I'd already kms than have my memory robbed. She didn't even give him a choice. Literally shooting her self into the foot then the knee then the head
