Monarchy isn't good either cause what if the ruler six generations ahead just becomes like the evil king. Democracy is good in concept but capitalism corrupts the vote, and frankly in this world where no one goes hungry and the streets are paved in gold there's no way to corrupt voting through bribes and lobbying. Basically where democracy has failed us it may work in this fantasy world surprisingly.
lmao you know what, you’ve got a point. only in a fantasy world could democracy work, where capitalism doesn’t affect every segment of society. kudos to you for mentioning that. and rather than an absolute monarchy, i was leaning more towards a collaborative, merit-based system w a monarch held accountable by meritocratic ministers and councilmen — its where things seemed to be headed w the daughter’s interactions w the dragon’s son and that other black haired kid
still tho, it felt depressing AF seeing that same shit from the news these days in such a cool story
Uhhh I get what you are saying more now. Either government could work in this world. Anything is better than whatever tf is irl politics are, I get your frustration especially since democracy is always portrayed as the "correct government" ╥﹏╥
exactly :( u get it
reading this last chapter as someone who hates democracy was so annoying
the stupidest, most exploitable system
i hate it when writers shove modern ideologies into high fantasy
like u have DRAGONS here and an ACTUALLY GOOD MONARCH why would u ruin it with shitty ass democracy of all things
gross!!! (but loved the rest of the story, 10/10 read)
