TRUE! I would never think he was the end game when he first introduced, but he's everything I ask for green flag ML in a story. So I was thrilled after checking the spoiler.
i think the author is a more social or humanitarian person that she can write characters that feel more real.
well it's not that i stereotypes other authors who wrote basic mainstream characters, but as i write as hobby and i can see the influence of my thoughts on my writing.
eh i just mean if this author write another story i would love to read them
girlll, be so for real, you just called that explanation short, I was gonna read all of it until I've hit the + button... but anyway, I agree whatever you said
There's tons of things I could write about this, as I think it's at least in the top five Isekai/romance mangas I've ever read, but I'll keep it short: What I love about these characters especially is how real they feel.
Of course, they aren't living the everyday life, and are pretty exaggerated, but none of the men feel like "male leads" or just something hot to keep the reader interested. They all have their own life, their feelings for the empress have developed in their own way. I'm always down for a secretive FL and I love her so much that this would turn into an essay if I went on but know that she's the best. Lot of times MLs feel like they're just there to fulfill an archetype, but none of these characters fit neatly into those boxes the genre set out for them. Isaac isn't a devout believer, he just want to help people. Nau isn't the cool secret assassin, he's friends with the kids, the maids and never randomly violent. Kersent's obsession is played ass a joke at the start, but it's what pushes the entire narrative.
THANK YOUUUUU for not including any weird pseudo incest!!! I want to read about a complicated sibling relationship without the brother acting like a jealous boyfriend to all the other leads. He genuinely acts like a kid, but he's also complex beyond that! I love how he genuinely gets along and cares about the other male characters l.
All the characters are interconnected, they all have an interesting relationship that is worth exploring. They aren't just set pieces for the empress. I love that the "repeating narrative" isn't treated as a bothersome neighbor, but as a real oppressive force, constantly forming the story.
Isaac is fucking top tier. 10000000/10. The artist is really good with facial expressions and pacing, so at some moments you can just feel the love gush from him, and see what he sees in the empress too. He's so caring, yet the dialogue is never cringy. They bicker, but it never feels like a bad comedy. They flirt and it always feels real! He respects the empress so much, and I didn't see it coming at all! He's introduced as the third lead, right after "beloved ex husband that betrayed me" and "assassin now working as my personal servant", I thought he had no chance and he's wiping the damn floor with them! He's just,, so real!!
