It's lowkey weird that the current emperor is so different from the one in the past even though they look the same and has so many similarities. It makes me wonder if there was more to what happened in their past life. Maybe someone was pulling the strings and manipulating them and the emperor was poisoned or something or maybe he regretted his actions so much it changed the fate of his reincarnation or something lmaooo

I kinda support the regret part. I remember reading a story in which the more reincarnations a character went through, the smarter they became in each timeline, therefore accumulating their intelligence and also explaining why geniuses are born in the world. It kinda hit a chord in me...
So I want to believe that the Emperor is following the regrets of his previous incarnation and it's his subconscious that is strongly making him be this way

The face too handsome schtick needs its own story and preferably not with such heavy incestuous undertones lmao. Maybe as a sequel/side story with nakanishi? Otherwise hopefully some manga in the future will use this idea because this was comedy gold but completely irrelevant to the plot at hand lmaooo

I tried so hard to like him but the uke comes off so bratty and unlikable. I understand why he acts the way he does due to his feelings of unworthiness but he keeps doing and saying mean/self deprecating shit that he knows will hurt and worry his loved ones. He receives so much love from his family and the seme but dwells in so much self pity it's irritating. (Ps: The seme is so fuckin precious and amazing omg <3)

Why are you explaining his motivations to me when I literally stated in my comment that I know why he acts the way he does? Just because I know his struggles doesn't mean I have to like his attitude or the ways he chose to deal with his issues. I either failed to adequately express the reason for my annoyance or I simply don't sympathize with him as much as others do.

Takiya was the heart of the story lol. He's so persistent and unrelenting but remains respectful and never comes off as aggressive/annoying/cocky/overbearing which is really amazing and not very often the case for semes in yaoi lol. Also his personality is gold. That bluntness and direct honesty was so refreshing and funny lmao.
This was such a good read! It's all nice and fluffy and romantic!!
I love sosuke's personality, he's so interesting and endearing and kippei ended up being such a ray of sunshine. His smile is amazing, so cute!
