#76The Submissive Emperor

0 Chapters Every 1049 Day(s) 3486 Readers 42 Reviews 08-05-2021

Completed Comedy Romance Yaoi

The tale of an inept Emperor and the political intrigue that follows has been done before. This story felt very fresh because it’s more grounded than usual. The various machinations of court officials and the royals developed organically instead of being hyped up just for the sake of drama. This is important because this story is not a love story. It’s a story about the fight for the thrown. With a lovely romance thrown in for comic relief. ... more>>

Drama Psychological Romance School Life

This is a psychological coming of age story framed by an obsessive love on both sides of the pair. ... more>>

Both of our characters are taught by their families or life to be very rationale in choices. Which means when they have a highly emotional response or desire they rationalize it into something else. Their love story feels far more realistic than is usual because neither of them know how to be in a relationship with another person. The ML especially reminds me of teenagers who date for their own self esteem more than because they like the person. They don't know how to like a person yet. They are still learning.

This novel shows how a first love can help you grow and change into the kind of person who can be in a real relationship. The world building is good. The secondary characters are fairly thin with a few standouts in complexity like ML's mother or FL's friend. There are some obvious canon fodders. And if it weren't for the fact the author made the FL's appearance part and parcel of some of the challenges she faces, I'd want to gouge my owns eyes out for having to read so many descriptions of her beauty.

Many people will have a hard time finishing this because of the idea that this is a scum ML novel. I disagree. Scum ML's are usually psychopaths with delusions of ownership and a tendency to equate s*x with control. Thus the r*pe tropes so prevalent in romantic fiction. They also don't really change even if the story is suppose to be about that because they still treat everyone else in the world as nothing and hold the FL up as some kind of perfect being they are "ens*aved" to.

Spoilers incoming

Our ML does have a huge disconnect from other people with a lack of basic empathy. He's not a psychopath but it reads like he has borderline personality disorder. This stems from a severe lack of socialization to form healthy bonds with his parents and other people. He can and does through the course of this story see other people as separate worthwhile entities deserving of respect. He becomes a doctor literally because he wants to be a better person. At first it's for the FL but later on it's for himself.

Our FL is scarred by a very traumatizing experience but she is capable of seeing and connecting with people because she had a very healthy relationship with her parents and friends. However, she's not perfect. Aside from the beauty issue I mentioned above the weakest part of this story is the canon fodder and plot armor that surrounds our FL in adulthood. There are also quite a few tropey interrupt what would have been a final break up they couldn't come back from scenes.

I enjoyed this story. I may not read it as often due to the criticisms listed above, but I will reread it because it was an engaging story of coming of age through pain, separation, growth and luck. Also the way the title covers both Leads is brilliant. <<less
