Yeah, the story wouldn't have been as impactful without it, it's because of this injustice and this woman having said such a thing that this hits hard.
Her biggest mistake isn't even to want to keep her old set of morals, I think not wanting the one you love to become a murderer is good,but she clearly didn't think on how to do that.
Another possibility was to move away, leaving the area completely and accepting her new life. Maybe Typhlosion would have been opposed to that in some way since he clearly had no reason to stick around when you have this existential threat in the form of the woman's father. What I mean is that he must have had a good reason to remain on this mountain while not picking a fight with this hunter.
Of course this remains a tragedy where the one who did nothing wrong (not that we know of) paid the most because his wife wasn't able to make her mind.I feel I don't need to like this to understand why this story gives people what they need : a simple story that makes them feel something.
So yeah, I enjoyed the book. The art is good, and while I was originally more interested in the porn and didn't really think it would end so tragically, I stayed for the plot.
