**Deconstruction of heroism and unveils the weightage it carries**
1. This story is about altruism, choosing existentialism over nihilism, prioritizing free will over fate, deconstructing the idea of heroism &unveil the weightage it carries, grasping the undertones of hope &nuanced meaning of the several shades of love, self acceptance &virtues over sins.
You start to enjoy the story 10x more when you actually begin to comprehend the retrospective themes and the symbolisms present in the story.
2. Character development isn't spoonfed, it's earned. It's not always necessarily linear progressive. At one point, you might feel agitated over the story because it doesn't go the way you want it to, but that's what makes the upcoming development much more cathartic and satisfying.
3. IMMERSION: Story's immersion so good ppl often drop it before even witnessing the culmination of character development. I love how the author doesn't spoonfeed the mc and doesn't let him do whatever he wants. It is nothing but commendable when an author executes the notion of actions having their consequences in a story. Often people get mad at subaru over his culpable blunders...that doesn't mean that the story is poorly written, it means the author has impeccably managed the audience to immerse in the story to the point they start hating the mc. The eventual culmination of development would feel profusely cathartic and much more impactful
I heavily recommend this to the people who like phychological themed stories. Trust me it will live up to your expectation.
Author's isn't afraid to show the protagonist raw and human emotions, and he doesnt normalise it. The narratives itself punish Subaru for his mistakes. It's a self character study arc... leading to his first ego death, dissolution of his sense of self, the collapse of the identity he clings to (his pride, desires, self-image, expectations). He lets go of his illusion of control and accepts his insignificance. _Re:birth_ of Natsuki Subaru from ego to humility
