It's amazing how every shred of respect I had painstakingly forced myself to have for him just crumbled in one chapter.
His change in personality was so abrupt and I feel like his redemption arc did nothing for me.
We saw One Example of him regretting his past actions and collectively it was decided he was forgiven. He feels entitled a lot of the time. Entitled to his jealousy of Paul and entitled to giving gifts most sane girls would feel burdoned by.
He didn't feel sorry for ignoring his whole spouse he felt sorry because his chances with leana were slim now. It's the textbook definition of regretting the consequences not the action.
Idk if he's even properly apologized about it can somebody pls tell me?
He has constantly neglected his empire's duties which for some reason always irks me. Like dude has lived in a palace his whole life in luxury. Every time he QuiRKiLY skips long overdue important work to ask out leana in A Oh So Romantic way all I can think about is those poor citizens losing their jobs dying in poverty and impoverishment.
My dude is a HORRIBLE king.
Dude there were attacks in his country where people died in the country HE is responsible for and he doesn't bat an eye except tell that other guy to shut up about Lehman letting people die and 'trust his judgment'
People died in several TERRORIST attacks and my dude doesn't bat an eye but now leana giving him the silent treatment and he suddenly depressed ?
I'm supposed to see Leana and Mia fight over.. This Thing??
He not only IGNORES the whole scenario of Lehman being possibility of doing out of 'Oh I don't wanna lose him! ' all while people are dying?! He. Is. A. King.
It. Is. His. Job. Hold. Him. Accountable.
Doctors get sued over patients died because of potential lack of judgement and lose their licenses and that too FOR ONE LIFE.
but I put up with it because leana is made happy (she is my baby) all this time just to..
I mean we all knew he didn't give a shit about the millions of people dying, sure. But this guy has sulked over her not talking to him I have heard him whine for so long about it.. Which is why this frustrates me so much..
His wife literally almost died. Had EPISODES of ptsd and he looks over it for his own stubbornness??
He's a decent example of barely decent-ish love interest but a awful character
Edit :Feel like I went off a lil hard on him but everything just comes down to him being the prime example of taking the benefits of king for your own without any respect for the duties involved. This is the first story where I'm rooting for rebels to kick his ass. Rather ship leana with anybody else, even Mia or Terrier. Literally Leana would do better on the throne
To sum it up some people need to be a lil poor bcuz shit was just handed to this man and it SHOWS
Also I think his work might have been a coping mechanism for the shit in his life (since we see little to no signs of him having a healthy social or family life) and now that he has to see Leana for his daily serotonin boost he has felt no responsibility nor need for doing it. But he shows little to no care for the work itself. Moreover Leana being seen as only his daily serotonin boost proves how much he doesn't see her as a person and so, fails to consider her. Like a dog begging for a treat, he rolls over to please whoever and whatever just for itself. But dogs are actually good. He sees her being sad as him being troubled by it.

Im kinda getting tired of mls doing less than the bare minimum idk... It's just that he's only mean towards her and not other people that makes me feel weird. Ik that those are their set up personalities from the start and I can sometimes relate to the ml and maybe that's why I dislike him.. He's not a bad character but just a bad-ish love interest. I was there too, bad at treating just the people I loved and excusing myself saying that being like that was my love language, but you gotta start making some effort or you're never gonna begin. Even If it's just one compliment a day and that itself is killing yourself on th inside you still do it. Just to get better, it's something, just the tiniest bit of progress. I've realized just recently how good it can sometimes feel to just.. Let people know. How much they are to you. And he hasn't had any of that. I'd be so HYPED up to see some character development. Just Something. Just to see that heartwarming feeling of knowing better. But it's always none in these stories. The way he treats her wouldn't be a problem if she reciprocated that sass because that would be playfully cute. It's how we see that it plays with her feelings. Her confidence shoots down with every word of his. And that breaks my heart a little every time. It's also the way he twists his words according to his own convenience. 'Saeki if you do it you can go out with me.' 'Well not anymore because I don't feel like I wanted it this way.' he's hot and then cold just to screw with her bit by bit. To see her 'reactions' but not care about the feelings that come along with it. It seems manipulative sometimes. I can feel the insecurity she feels from the other side.
Condoms?
It's f*cking jhenga
