my eyes have been swollen from how much i've been crying! genuinely a stressful, angsty, heart-wrenching rollercoaster ride
stayed up all night to finally finish this! oh! chills during the unfolding of what happened between the emperor and the hero, genuinely so peak!!! so fun and frankly chilling at rare moments
the romance definitely dragged lol ( i could only go through so much of their stupid push and pull and embarassment like... you've kissed multiple times and you still think one or the other would suddenly lose their feelings omg)
anyways... i enjoyed the politics of this i liked how everything unfolded so funnn
oh... the women of this manhwa i cry! all of the characters so well rounded and are so so special to me!! (esp!! especially the women ahhhhh)
in awe with the storytelling and art... just wow, a perfect balance of heartwrenching angst with really really funny scenes (every single banquet... oh i was on the edge of my seat in tears laughing)
adore adore adore her so much! my girl! genuinely so funny and lovable wahhhh, especially with her dynamics in par with reigrein (esp esp in the early chapter where he’s just stoic and rolls with whatever my darling wants)… ahhhh love them so
also… special mention goddess rafael for having favorites, what an icon
props to sylcaro for trying to dismantle a system... however, he did it in a loser-like manner soooo
damien is such a fucking loser, he's so funny lmao i adore them both so much
almost gave up on this because of the unfortunate translations at the beginning. but after chapter 23 ... i have been nonstop crying. this is actually a beautiful heart-tugging story about found family (even between a son and mom). it's so sweet and ahhhhh
also shout out to the art. it's so beautiful??? genuinely in awe with the anatomy at times lmao
