I feel like he's trying to destroy the empire on purpose by being an empty vessel just filling up a spot. I understand why he's doing what he's doing. Do I think that excuses his behaviour? No. Does that still make him a POS? Absolutely. Your mummy issues are f***ing nought in the face of the deaths of thousands of innocent people that are SUPPOSED to be under your protection.
The people did nothing to you. It was the people in power. Being even worse than them by repeating the vicious cycle of toxic palace relationships but going further to also neglect your duties makes him the worst emperor that I've seen written. At least other trash like Sovieshit actually did his duties and are a good emperor although a shit person.
The fact that the kingdom didn't pick the obvious choice, which was his older sister because this POS has a dingalong is their loss. They won't have a country to live in for long.

Hallelujer, preach it. Back at the wedding, when all those nobles where talking about how much they pity her, my first thought was “which of you are truly pitiful? The person who will find a will and a way to get out, or the people who are stuck being led by an emperor who only has a little brain and even that is confused?”

Considering he's so "rational", he does and says a lot of irrational things. His routine, down to the foood he eats and paths he walks are all irrational and based on personal preferences. Hobbies in general is a counter argument to the whole "for the society" POV. Not to mention, biologically, many species engage in same sex behaviours. There are insects, birds like penguins, fish, and lizards that actually mate with the same sex. Left over male penguins even bond for life and raise abandoned eggs/penguins together.
There's a whole thing behind it. Gay, trans, non-binary and intersex people have also existed from the beginning of time and recorded as far as 60,000 years ago in some of the oldest cultures in the world.

That's the thing, the things Sangwoo does are only really rational to him, he makes an internal framework for the world around him so to make it easy to navigate. And we've already witnessed that in the first chapters of this series when he had those extremely specific routines because that's what helped him organize and live his life.
At first glance his thoughts and processes may seem rational, and yeah maybe if they're only for him they could be, but soon we discover that as Sangwoo branches out into more of the "real world" (different relationships with people, different processes of handling things) his frameworks won't work very well anymore. Simply put he can't apply these overly simplistic, black-and-white ways of thinking when he's surrounded by such a complex world and the unexplored realities of his own mind. It's almost like wishful thinking in a way. At the end of the day, he's not an AI or a computer so he's going to be flawed like all of us, and that may cause him trouble, and give him "errors", but I just adore having a character that tries to be so perfect, and is convinced of that, realize that not everything can be so impeccable and down to a T, and grow to understand that that is totally okay.
I knew Hakuraku and Sora were both involved somehow. My initial guess was that the body in wall wasn't Sora's and he was the one going around killing everything. Sora has some kind of psychosis and an obsession with art.
I can't say for sure how he met Hakuraku but I'm certain that Sora has either been that way from the start or has been affected by Hakuraku's own psychotic interest in blood art. Only difference is, Sora is a Grade A killer; you know the type obsessed with blood and guts and his first piece was using his parent's bodies.
For this "final" masterpiece he was probably wanting to use Hakuraku and Senpai maybe? Just cuz he asked senpai if he wanted to be the other person contributing.
What is the secret though?¿°¿°¿
I think he wants to use Hinata's blood for completing the painting.
