this could've been a stand alone story without romance. i'm more interested with the relationship of her and helene, and the layton duchy in general. plus, the ML kinda sucks. wdym ur doing all that stuff for a woman who can barely recognize you? if the readers doesn't know how a formulaic romance story ends, he would end up a freaking creep. weak entrance for an ML, weak motivations for a love interest too. HE HAD NOT EVEN SPOKEN TO HER DURING THEIR ACADEMY DAYS, and he expects her to remember him? PATHETIC.
ALSO im pissed off with the recent translations for Nata's pronouns. how hard is it to not use they/them??? they were very clear that they are not defined as man nor woman, and here comes the translation using he/him. so damn disappointing.
the other aspects of this story is good, even the emperor's covetous nature is appealing. i wish they'd explore more about politics and family dynamics, but alas, we all know how this will end. i just hope the journey won't be boring.
