I like how they make it clear that the reason the Empire is destined to lose this war is because of the people in charge of government. The Imperial government didn't manage their policies correctly (international relations, taking action when needed, etc) and that's the real reason they will lose.
We see time and time again, the Imperial army has all these talented people in key positions and they keep winning battles and coming up with new ideas. But it's obvious that military action alone is not enough to sustain your place on the world stage
It's just so crazy how he's been sexually assaulted in two different fonts
The best comedy route is that both Hatano and SSR become love rivals for MC
I'm praying for it every day
I get the impression that Juwan isn't even in love or super invested in Yumin, he's just super against having an arranged marriage. I don't know if he specifically dislikes his fiancé or if he just wants to be able to choose his own partner
Shaia was such a perfect choice for protagonist! He's so expressive and you can totally see how he resembles his parents. I really like the way the author distinguishes Shaia and Hugo's older selves by making them resemble their parents: Hugo is poker-faced and stubborn like Juda, Shaia is prideful and charismatic like Daath
I feel like I believed in the bl in Tokyo Revengers more than than the bl in this
I've said it before but, due to it being a BL world, even getting married and having kids does not preclude you from BL. There are plenty of bl stories about widowers and divorced dad's. It's not an "if", but a "when"
wait.... I have an ff idea, what if MC got married but then got divorced. While he went through heartbreak, Hatano happened to reach out to him again and helped him move on. BUT after various failed matchmaking MC slowly falling for Hatano after seeing how much Hatano care for him while still harboring his feeling. It have to be happy ending with some angst!! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
I think the premise as a whole was kind of not that well thought out.
I can see how the Chancellor would want to abolish the royal family and the role they play as an institution and keep them alive. Like, if he had a back up plan that they would secretly escape during a coup, like a Princess Anastasia type thing. Then the traitors and common people would eventually self destruct, and he saves the royals.
But in the OG timeline, the entire royal family is murdered. So his plan was doomed. Did he think the revolution would stop at killing just one prince??? The only winner in that timeline was Leo because he had the purification powers, got Julius, and replaced the royal family's position. The Chancellor loses everyone he wanted to protect in that timeline.
CLAUDE!!! OMG why is bro built to be pegged WHAT IS THIS
Honestly, even if Ideum falls first, he doesn't seem to have the self esteem to say his feelings out loud. He's also hyper aware of their stated relationship status. He's also really sensitive to rejection so he's not likely to take the risk.
Jaeyi was the one to cross the line and make their relationship more intimate by stepping over Ideum's walls when he insisted on seeing and touching the scar. He'll probably continue to blur the lines in this relationship because of his desire to be closer to Ideum, even without saying anything clearly. He's already possessive over Ideum, and it feels like he's in denial about his feelings
