The Cursed Sculpture - Ch. 44 - Strong Pretense

"haha, i miss my wife. maybe i shouldn't have killed her..."

 

[yserieh]

@bthao right?! A LITTLE too late to be sorry. She was good to him and he finally got greedy and killed the one person who truly loved and supported him.

I can't bring myself to hate Yang, and I wonder how things could have gone if the circumstances were different.

I think Yang is ultimately a tragic character-an antivillain easily strung along by the strong around him as his ambition is too much and too easily preyed upon. If you notice, the advice Mo gives to him in this chapter ultimately is what costs her the life she has, and there's a certain irony that she teaches him to be independent, only for him to be manipulated from his ambition.

I ultimately hope he finds some redemption by the end of the story, in some sense, because I think just being killed like the less complicated characters is a disservice.

"She was only pretending to be strong. She's also like other women who had to be taken care of.."

I am not gonna lie, this sentence kind of pissed me off..

Was this flashback meant to make us feel sorry for him? Because it's not working, at least not for me.

If anything, it's making me feel even worse for Mo Qian, who believed in his potential only to get stabbed in the back.

The heck man

@Tensaitkuroneko same.

This flashback has only showed me how much of a worthless scumbag Yang is.
