I saw a couple people saying they wanted to drop this, but I really like the novel and manga. I'm going to defend it with out giving any significant spoiler. So slight spoiler alert. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The relationship between Phelps and the Emperor is superficial at best. He finds her to be a kindred spirit because she also has trauma involving her family. She basically just tricks the Emperor into taking her side, by pretending to empathize with him. She doesn't love him and that is very aparent. Phelps to the Emperor is his only ally. That why he is so desperate to keep her around. He learns that is a mistake.
As far as the story goes, Emperor is a piece of shit, no doubt. However, he does improve.
But if you hate the Emperor and Phelps the story is most certainly worth sticking around because they both get the karma. The Empress is probably one of my characters in this type of genre, because she such a strong character.
