Cherish every smile he gave in this life. That was the only way to make up for the pain he had suffered earlier.
[Beginning of story]
I have to say, looks can be deceiving. At first I thought it would be a cute slice of life without too many ups and downs. But when I read some reviews I realized that I could be wrong.
I found the plot interesting. Like all other novels, they had the zergs as enemies, I could see that the author made an effort to try to bring an intriguing plot and at the same time sweet.
[Halfway through the story]
At first I found the shou (Chu Yu) very weak and spoiled, crying for anything. The gong (Shen JingHeng) also didn't give me a good impression, so I was looking forward to a character development soon. It wasn't until halfway through the story that I realized how foolish I'd been. I realized that every moment Chu Yu cried, acted pampered, or smiled should be cherished. The burden he carried before, the way fate was cruel to this couple, made me realize that Chu Yu is better now. I would like him to continue the way he was at the beginning of the novel. A fool, who cried, smiled at his neighbors and acted spoiled for his lover. After all the burden he carried before, I started to think that he should smile more and live a happy life. After all, he deserves it.
[Almost at the end of the story]
Author-san you are very cruel. One by one they went away, each one was broken and disappeared, why add more pain? Not enough? I cried and cried and cried, when you think this author can't hurt you anymore, he hits you harder.
This is the most intense war I've ever read against the zergs, I feel like everything I've read before is superficial, they didn't show the true cruelty of the enemy. The philosophy that each one showed in their final moments broke me, I cried a lot, I kept thinking, how many more would have to have this ending to reach the “happy ending”? Would that happy ending have any meaning knowing that most were no longer there? Is this really a happy ending?
[History end]
Honestly, I have no words to describe how I felt with this ending. I cried again, thinking of all those who couldn't reach that “happy ending”. I cried when they got married, I thought that moment was very sad.
ML's actions to save their omega were very cruel, some might not feel anything about it, and others might feel outraged. I don't think I have the right or the ability to say whether that was bad or good. In extreme moments, extreme attitudes will eventually be taken.
Rereading everything I wrote while reading the book, I have to correct some of my words, the plot, besides being intriguing is very amazing, I will definitely not find such an intense story about the war against the zergs and it mainly highlights human desires in the fight against the survival of the human race.
After finishing this story, it made me reflect on the wars going on around us. For example if:
Has anyone ever thought about the pain those on the battlefield feel? See the one who was by your side disappear. Seeing all your companions disappear and all you'll hear is "it's for the greater good" “that their death was not in vain” “sacrifices are necessary” “Contain Your Pain”
I honestly think that no one has the right to measure, judge and define each other's pain. In the end, we're all broken.
What hurts me the most is seeing those who have never been on the battlefield, never felt the pain of a soldier, think they have the right to define the end and the beginning of each one.
Those who started wars are s*upid driven by greed, devoid of empathy and notion of what life really is. They start wars without thinking about the consequences, without thinking about the pain they will cause others, without thinking about the blood that will be shed. And after countless lives lost, they begin to yearn for peace. This peace, which was taken from them by themselves. Humans are s*upid, humans are cruel to their own kind, humans will be the destruction of their own race.
The peace gained after war is full of blood, it is a peace gained through the bloodshed of many people whose names no one will remember. Sacrifices of several souls who once had something they loved.
To love the country, to love your home, to love the people who live in them, because of these small reasons, many innocent souls are lost.
In war there will always be fools like these, who advance in the name of the motherland, usually they are the ones who die first, highlighting how foolish this human nature can be.
We are dust, nothing more than small dust particles scattered in the universe. With such an insignificant life, why use greed to make it end faster?
