Long After the Ending — Chapter 42

Phew, **Long After the Ending (COMPLETE)** **Chapter 42** really had readers feeling things! There was definite relief that Astel finally knows the truth, though many were bothered by Lian's lies from the start, seeing it as a shaky foundation for any relationship. Lian himself isn't winning any popularity contests, with comments ranging from finding him annoying to just plain disliking him intensely.

But the real drama? Lian showing up at Elena's door! 🚪💥 Readers had a *visceral* reaction – think throwing phones (figuratively, mostly 😉) and audible sighs of frustration. The sheer audacity had everyone reeling, wondering what this "trashy bastard" or "shithead" could possibly want, especially after everything Elena went through. The overwhelming consensus? Go away, Lian! 👋

The big question hanging in the air is what he's there for – blaming Elena? Apologizing? Asking for advice?! Regardless, the fervent hope is for Elena to just slam the door in his face! While most agree Lian is the root cause of the mess, there were a few differing opinions on Elena's reaction towards Astel. Still, the main sentiment is clear: Lian is the problem, and nobody wanted to see his face! Can't wait to see what happens next... or rather, *hope* he gets shut down! 🙏
