  • Catharsis Factor: If you thought that somehow the three "love interests" would be getting undeserved happy endings for everything they put both Erises and Helena through, then you'll be happy to know you're wrong. Their final fates, partially dictated by the logic of their choices coming back to biting them, and unexpected help from Emma of all people making a deal with Medea to wreck revenge upon them for what they did to Original and New Eris, results in them getting well-deserved karmic fates which are especially satisfying. Alecto's in particular is one the fans were raving for as he is now left completely alone and trapped in a marriage similar to what his parents had: a loveless affair where his Empress has indifference and no love for him. And all while he no longer has the Original Eris, the only one who ever truly loved him, in his life anymore thanks to his cruelty to her.
  • Viewer Gender Confusion: Kintia, Anakhin's little sister, is dressed in very boyish clothes and has her hair cut in a masculine style. This appearance of hers would have you think she is a boy unless told else-wise so you would be forgiven if you thought she was a boy like most fans did. Even the direct translations from hobbyists prior to Tapas picking up the series also thought the same and usually referred to her as Anakhin's brother or with male pronouns. But regardless, Kintia is in fact a girl. In fact in her first appearance, Eris's thought bubble (at least in the Tapas translation) shortly after meeting her refers to her as female. There doesn't seem to be an in-universe reason for this either, as there are a couple of other female children her age are dressed like girls (one is confirmed to be her friend) and Kintia herself doesn't even give a reason for it herself.
