Although i was expecting it ..... It still hit like a MadaFakAr truck.
Hope that mc finally grows.(second time) Even after all of this,if the mc is still childish ,it’ll just be a disappointment .
I just hope that this is the first and the last time you do something like this, Author. Because it's stuff like this that make people hate a series. So, if it keeps happening again and again, more people will quit than would have even if the story was boring. Most people don't like watching innocent people die, no matter what the reason. Especially so, if they have started liking the person. And what you did here is, you built up a very likable character, made them very important to the MC, and then, went ahead and made them die like Padme Skywalker (as in the giving up on life part, not the Vader choking part)...
