About the ending: In fact, for this ending that is not sad or happy, many people should be satisfied, after all, most people are scarred but save their lives and usher in a new beginning.
In fact, from the beginning of reading the 13 volumes of the novel, I felt from the bottom of my heart that the emperor was actually doomed to die, because the first was that he had respect for death and the determination to end his life.
The second was that he was too crazy to leave a way out, and the third was that he fired two shots at the people he had once been closest to. In fact, the second and third points should also be the reasons for the first point, after all, this kind of madness and the previous description also show that the emperor has already planned to commit suicide, and even if he does not commit suicide, I think that the people who are burned by the fire he throws will not necessarily let him go.
However, the fact is that the doomed death has been changed by the non-human existence, how to say, it should be said that Selty is too gentle, a headless knight symbolizing death has saved a person who gave up his life.
However, it is good that everyone is alive, after watching the ending, after the feeling of reassurance has passed, in fact, if you think about it carefully, maybe the emperor's suicide will cause a greater shock to this ending.
Because in my opinion, the Emperor took the first step towards depravity because of his yearning for the non-everyday, but Selti is precisely the non-everyday representative of the Emperor's heart.
Most of the factors in the first meeting of the dollars also came from Selty, so at the end, it might be better to let the original God of Death take the emperor to the world he most desires.
"The headless goblin will knock on the door of the dying person and pour blood on their heads", although no blood is spilled, but the fact that the emperor is shot through the head will also meet this sentence.
And if the emperor really succeeds in committing suicide in front of Zhengchen, then he will definitely become a past existence that can more contain Zhengchen (it is estimated that the general will go crazy) There is a feeling of end to the same end, saying "I don't want to add more trouble" is actually adding more trouble. After the incident, people will also talk about "it was as if the dead man was dead that night", "Then stay away from the dollars", which seems to be more like the desire of the emperor? (Of course, the above is just a personal dark delusion, if the emperor is really dead, it is estimated that the end will be really troublesome after all, my leader is loved by a lot of strange things......... ）
