I was catching up for the past 100 chapters, and every moment was spent thinking, "why am I still reading this?"
As a harem hater, I didn't mind it here since the empresses and princes seem to be on good terms. But god damn this is draggy beyond words. Let me tell you why: MC cleared all obstacles to become emperor, and the dead emperor returns. While fighting the royalty faction, demons appeared. Sealed the demon king in his body, ended the civil and continental wars, ruled for 10yrs(?), and had to disappear to deal with the corruption overtaking his body. In the next 10yrs(?) he went missing, his sons had to deal with rebellion from restless nobles (of course it's them). All these for 100 chapters wtf?
Don't tell me this story will drag till the 3rd generation?
I didn't like it. So glad it only has 70 chapters, and even then I skipped quite a few parts. Idm breakneck speed pacing, but there r too many annoying side chacs, and they weren't even dealt with satisfyingly.
The team leader who kicked MC out of the party joined the villains later, but for some reason author gave him a redemption(?) moment when he got defeated? Flashback and all. Just so he could sacrifice himself and push MC out of harm's way once?? MC even did the "it's not too late for you to return to the right path" speech. Very cringe. nice try but I still hate him.
Yknow what's even more cringe? They defeated the fking powerful main enemy through friendship. No joke. MC was losing against the enemy in a battle of blasting energy (cue THAT Harry Potter and Voldemort wand moment), then his partner joins in and overpowered the enemy. Didn't even show what she did or why her meager power helped.











So I wasn't the only one rooting for Sebastian xD
