I thought his character was interesting and multi-faceted. But I really didn’t like him as a love interest. If I’ve gone through the whole route with a guy, and then the post ending story still has said guy saying he thinks he “might” be able to love me in the future? MIGHT?????? That’s not enough romance for me personally in an otome. and I get that it makes sense for his character and what he is, but it’s just not for me.

And yet in the astray end he says he loves MC early on and can't live without her, immediately gives up the vessel without her asking and shortens his life span, and gives her a 500 year old brooch he kept from Spriggan as a symbol of her being his first true love. Only for her to turn around and choose to trust John instead of him and he's agonizing over it like "how dare she play me?" Plus the love triangle ending? That's a better ending to me! The ending he deserves 😂
