I really really really dislike when authors push the common sense of a world to the breaking point to portray a missunderstanding...

An emperor that is OOOH SO FLUSTERED all the time that whenever he wants to say something he says the most innocuous things in the most unfanthomable way only for the people around him to think "He's angry!! he's gonna kill someone!!!" (he literally communicates IN ONE WORD, never says anything else and leaves everyone to think whatever they want... even if he realizes they didn't understand... "it's fiiine"... more>> yeah... no, just because the author forces it, it doesn't mean it's fine.)

It's dumb... and forced... and I don't find it funny... how can he be a competent ruler (as the author portrays him) a blood thirsty tyrant (as his subjects think about him) and a GENIUS TACTICIAN (again as the author portrays him) if he only says ONE WORD and everyone does whatever they think he wanted out of that word!?!?!?

This breaks me so much out of the world that I grit my teeth everytime it happens...

Funnily enough, it happens only a few times because most of the time he just doesn't talk at all...

All we see is their train of thought and simple actions and interactions about everyone involved

There can be whole chapters where we don't see anyone doing anything or saying anything, (or just a short 3 sentence conversation) and everything else is a stream of consciousness.

The author "tells us" a lot in this chapters, but we're not "shown" much.

anyway, my gripe with the worldbuilding aside and the technique of the author, the characters are charismatic enough to keep reading.

I do think they are good, it's just that the author forces the humor too much, which ends up falling flat.

I genuinely want to move on to them interacting with each other directly because THEY HAVEN'T.

I'll give this 3 stars because it's and OK story. <<less

U know when u read soo much angst and revenge novels u need some fluff and sweetness to balance it

then this is the novel.

the ML is super rare sweet guy and it’s worth watching he trynna get close to FL. Also he’s super cute. Also his aid. If only every story had a aide like that!
This is super funny and worth reading whenever u wanna laugh to heart content

also the translation is good and very understandable

I found this a sweet and slightly unusual story. A different kind of ML and FL, each with their own love problems.

A small cast of comic side characters who support each, sometimes well and sometimes badly

But I dropped this as from around c75 a new character is introduced and suddenly this goes in a strange and unexpected direction. This was not naturally done and feels like drama for drama's sake by the author who is just padding. No build up; serious WTF.

I'm so angry that I wasted my precious morning on this.
The comedy is so forced, the characters are over cute-ified, absolutely no common sense either, even it's a absurd comedy I want it to set some rules around its own world. Can't comment on the plot because there is non of it. I just read some cowardly babyman's inner thoughts. UGH.
Chapter 40 and the main characters didn't hold a single conversation!!! I'm pretty sure this fact will continue for a LONG time because "the emperor". I don't search for accurate historical writing but at least make the characters greet the emperor properly when they're before him. In this case, he seems like a random scary man.
The writing style is so annoying. I thought it was cute a first but it's dragging as hell. Forced details of the annoying manbaby emperor's thoughts to make the chapters longer are drowning the actual story. This isn't comedy, it's torture.
Dropped at chapter 40. Don't waste your time on this.
