(This is my opinion) This manhwa is going round in circles. You have to read atleast 20 chapters to make sure it's going somewhere. I love the story but it's just so fucking slow and time consuming to read.and sometimes it's not making any sense either i fucking hate the emperor and every single character in this but at the same time i love (some of) them but it's just really slow and theres so many unnecessary happenings that DONT FUCKING HELP WITHT HE FUCKING PLOT GOD anyways i jate this this is slower than the slowest pace manga ive ever read and the empress she's smart but she didn't see things from coming im not saying it's her responsibility but she was portrayed as smart ass empress
