One of the few well thought BL Manhwas, The flow may felt rushed but actually not. as it is only being straight forward, they only show what's critically necessary to the plot.
The Art is okay but not generic, they don't overly design the characters which is an unwritten rule in Manhwas.
The hate the ML is receiving is superfluous.
I would argue that his redemption arc is actually one of the satisfying among the rapist MLs in Manhwas. He already gave everything up for the MCs sake, risking his life multiple times. plus, he's truly a good natured person at heart who cares for his people which is rare as a lot of rapist MLs in other manhwas are just selfish jerk.
Chen, despite what he's done, he's still not better for the MC. He can give his love to MC but not his loyalty or life. He's ready to do everything for the Ming Emperor, even killing the MC (Chen quite literally said that)
