While there are issues with the elf village part, I do like that the leader guy there accepted that he was at fault as well. That's the kind of responsibility you never see from elf leaders.

Just healing everything with a potion at the end feels a bit like ignoring everything that's happened. It makes sense if the option is available, but it cheapens the story.

It might actually be for the best that she decided to use the potion. Elves live longer than humans, so they might now live more or less the same amount of time.
Paying with your life span is a bit cheap if you've got so much of it.

If the potion healed all her injuries and even restored her limbs, why does she still have a notch in her ear?
She's not completely healed, since there were some marks left on her arms as well. Still, weird. Although I kinda liked her ear.

This is so lame, the story was already weird bc of some things but you can look past them, not this time tho, it totally reads as if she's literally sacrificing her lifespan just so they can cure her vagina and that's just fcking weird creepo writing

Yeah dude, let's ignore her leg, arm, eye, possible infertility and scars that remind her of the past, this was definitely made only to fix her 🐈, no person in the real world woud drink that.

A bit rushed, overall a short and sweet package. I could read a whole manga just about the witcher-apothecary badass

Regarding the potion, most people would rather return their bodies to their original form. Sure, the prosthetics were cool, and it's important to remember the past, but her lost limbs and lack of full body function would just be a constant painful reminder of what she lost and what she can no longer do. If there was an option to recover one's body when it is literally a shell of what it once was then why would anyone reject that option? I personally don't think it cheapens the story nor do I think they are ignoring what happened. Rather, they have reached the pinnacle of her recovery, even if it's at the expense of some of her lifespan. And most importantly, it was her choice.

My guess as to why you feel it cheapens the story isn't that it was used, but rather the ending itself was rushed and their acquisition of the final ingredient was rushed. Thus, that could be why it felt like it cheapened the story for you. Don't know how accurate my theory is, but it's what comes to mind first so make of it what you will.

Regardless, lovely story that I'm glad was brought to a resolution despite my desire for more. :)

Art very nice and consistent.
I really believe this could've been written a lot better as the author mentions.
Now, I'd say it would have helped a lot if it didn't jump from 50% to 95% all of a sudden from a blink of an eye.

I am sure that other problem with her body because the abuse was her womb, and you need a womb if you want childrens
I like the perfect ending, an elf has long life span, then regenerate her body fixed that problem, They will die before that their childrens xD

That was rather rushed, and i wouldn't mind for her to maintain her appearance with the metal parts, it was kinda convenient how she got cure, but i guess it was made to mark the end by cure her completely. :pout:
Anyways, it was a very nice story, and the ending is very sweet. :bocchiwave:

I would’ve preferred if she stayed with her amputated limbs and robotic arms, it would’ve been nicer to say “no matter how badly hurt you are, no matter how broken mentally or physically, if you don’t give up there’s light at the end of the tunnel”. I dislike the cure all ending, and also it doesn’t specify if she will still out live the guy or if her life span is now shorter than his.

Im kinda mad at how good this short story was, given more time to really flush out characters n plot Im sure this would have been a mega hit! Sob for now, it will remain a precious gem 🥹
