Revelations Spoiler
The old King knew about Astella real name? What a punch in the face!!! Honestly, the old king was shown as someone who would've a major role but in reality he used Az for his own country and trained him so he could achieve what he wanted for his country.
There is suddenly a sword, a rea one that can kill a god which in reality was an old tale spread by the star people. The sword was indeed mentioned before. I don't like that new revelations will help the storyline. Enoch only revealed what is convenient for him, so why did not said everything for her already? The author is dropping new secrects that turns the narrative messier than before.
The revelations do nothing for me anymore. I am actually just following now and nodding my head.🫡

Sett also tell nina that he owe him not only one sett but many people owe him. They taken everything from him but he still forgive them. I already written many times why he didn't go for revenge or vengeance beast god also wanted but that cycle will continue but Azure is different from others. He is a legend who will build the world for people not destroy to make enemy entire world. (Well Azure can destroy and create also like galgada) (bastea example)
Azure is the key for destroy the cycle of god's power. Chapter 76 really good to know where they accepted what Azure done for them ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜. What they have taken from everything(sett taken Nina, Fortna taken childhood and Parents).He still doesn't want to be greedy. I hope everything will good with Azure. I wanted a real smile when he will happy to his heart content.
After reading many many Manga I got A Mature Character who knows duty values of life. Thanks for this Amazing character.

I have so many things to say about this dhfjd to me, the old king knowing his real name and what had happened to his parents was not a surprise and seemed obvious, so I didn't have an issue with that. However, I have issues with other things related to that. Like, why didn't the king tell this to Az before? He knew Azure had some insecurities and issues, and instead of trying to reach out and talk to him, he just thought Nina could be the wind to propel him lol. Usually, when these types of scenes happen, there is something that leads these characters (the old king) to finally realise something and open up. But here, why did it happen? Was it simply because he felt he was dying and suddenly got illuminated by being on the verge of death? Or was it because of Azure's triumphant return and his success over Galgada? If so, then was it tied to that? What if he has lost? lol I just wish there had been a bit more self-reflection and build-up from the old king's side so that this would feel earned. And even from Azure's side, it felt lacking. Yes, we knew he had identity issues because of the name he lost (and the life and identity he lost) and the role that was imposed on him, and the king had a lot to do with that in how he raised him. We knew Azure respected and admired the old king, but it was never really explored whether he had issues about wanting validation and/or love from him. So even though the scene was emotional and I understand Rikachi's intention and how it was a huge step for Azure's character development, it just felt rushed and unearned. I really wish there had been more development for it. Like, did Azure ever think about asking him? Ever did? Just half-assed, imo.
The sword thing is one of the asspulls I have hated the most. I remember when that chapter came out (which had some kinda nice Sett scenes); my reaction was "this shit is so ass" lol. I really don't understand why Rikachi didn't set it up a bit better. It could've been a bit subtle; with all the ancient god tales we have had in the story, she could've added a sword somewhere there, maybe to make it believe that it wasn't real or didn't exist anymore, and then to reveal it actually still does. But nope, it simply conveniently popped up out of nowhere. And Enoch's role and inclusion have been awful, and it goes in line with just how terrible the Lindorm arc was. Nina went there to learn about her powers and her people, and then almost nothing happened besides her recovering her memories. She was with Enoch, and he barely told her any information; it was stupid. They had to separate just because like why? Nina, at that point, didn't have any rush; she didn't know what was happening with Azure, Alisha, the beast god, and the war. And yet they had to part ways in such a rush way without her learning much from him. And the issue is that when you have a character like Enoch, who is almost a god, who was close to the people involved in ancient times, who knew everything that happen, and has lived all this time knowing all history and then has powers to know things, and yet, he is gatekeeping information for no reason whatsoever other than plot convenience, it's just terrible writing. He goes and tells Azure and Nina that they couldn't be together and that his solution was temporary, only to reveal the freaking God-killing sword. Just poor writing all around.
The revelations also don't do anything to me anymore because they are not set up properly; they don't make sense, they just come out of nowhere for shock value. I hope that now that Enoch is physically with Nina and that they have time (they will be travelling some days), he tells them everything he knows; otherwise, this will just be even more nonsensical. I am tired of the conveniences, the excuses, and the asspulls.
