The art is beautiful, but the story is toxic AF (also very similar plotline to several others). It was also difficult to invest myself in the political intricacies because they kept speaking like pirates using Old English, which made me burst out laughing every single time. The moment they threw out "skullduggery", "buggery", etc, I just could not take even the most somber moments seriously. The language would work perfectly if it was set in England or some other ancient Western setting, but it just didn't fit for a story set in Korea -- at least not for me.
