1/2 I started reading while the Knocker war was still ongoing, but I agree with you. At first the story was about the value, fragility, and finiteness of life. But those themes went out the window when it turned out that Fushi can resurrect the dead. I'm not against resurrection as a plot-device, but when your story is specifically about the meaning and importance of death, resurrecting your characters makes the drama feel redundant.
Then there's the fact that Hayase turned out to be a stereotypical yandere and all her descendants seem to fall in love with Fushi. The message the story is trying to convey is that Kahaku and Mizuha are their own person and not prisoners of their blood, but then why do they both just so happen to become genuinely obsessed with Fushi? It's like the story can't decide if it's pro-fate or pro-free will. And I'm sorry, but why does Fushi have to become friends with the relatives of the woman who tried to enslave and abuse him?
lol this is so awful. the protagonist killed a baby. "haha everyone laugh at the woman's miscarriage on stage at an awards show! she deserved it because she dared to sign up while pregnant, here's her ultrasound! haha she's bleeding through her dress. now let's go back to giving out the awards!" lmao
