- The MC's whole character arc is about him being indecisive and not actually putting his abilities to use, he has this mindset of "i can escape anyways" so the threats that his nation faces don't matter to him. So in my mind, his character arc is all about being compelled by fate to move. And when this does happen, his motivating factor is the FL, who by themselves is a pivotal character that changes the whole dynamic of the whole environment. This is not to say that the MC is a simp, far from it really, but instead he had no reason to fight and then throughout the 6 volumes, he found it. You could honestly say that the first 6 volumes are a love story between the MC and the FL within the backdrop of political intrigue, economics, and war. Getting into spoiler territory, something happens to the FL that basically renders the MC's whole character arc ruined. He starts doing things that he showed no signs of doing before and the story becomes a generic, degenerate plot.

Carol (the FL) dies in childbirth so the MC could be king regent and build a harem. The only explanation I could think of for this decision is that the author is completely unaware of the story he's written so far and he wanted to placate his JP readers who are way into that degenerate stuff, the MC and the FL are in 7/7 volume covers released at this point in time FFS. In terms of ship potential this was the only one possible, in terms of competition, there was none. Anything other pairing is nothing short of a disaster. Why bother setting up 7 volumes of a relationship if you're just gonna squander it for a harem? Why would he need to be king if he already had the full trust of the queen? Answer: he doesn't, in fact the separation of military might and the political power of the state is a tasteful separation. It would have been more interesting if that dynamic stayed as they went on to beat their enemies in to submission. This mistake is a fumble so big it's generational. It's akin to killing off Killua in HunterxHunter so that Gon could be buddies to 3 Krillins. I love Krillin don't get me wrong, but they're no Killua.
im glad this is not harem i hate the other ml
