In Lynn's past perspective, his impression of Ivyst was merely that she was beautiful, venomous, and powerful.
However, he never cared why her character had twisted in such a way.
Because in the original story, as an unlikable antagonist, people didn't pay attention to her past.
To the readers, similar tragic but strong character types were too common, and an antagonist is just an antagonist, no matter what kind of past they have, it's no excuse for turning evil and opposing the protagonist.
The sole purpose of the antagonist's existence was to press emotions, suppress before elevating, until everything was sufficiently brewed, and then, in a burst of pleasurable climax, the protagonist would defeat them.
After all, they were nothing but vacuous characters living within the text.
However, for Lynn, it was different.
Because that Imperial Princess, constantly criticized on forum boards...was now standing right in front of him, alive and real.
