This manga needs more recognition, It looks cheap at first with the forced competition for a man thing and the art but the story is very well written. For every frustrating dialogue or character, there's a chapter explaining it with a convincing reason it which is honestly refreshing.
The empress pushing MC as a queen felt forced until she gave a very valid reason, if MC becomes queen, she will have the power to defend her life and her domain.
The ML being a spineless ugly brainless lazy asshole loser bastard felt forced until the chapter where they explore his trauma and his inability to do literally anything to defend his ideals because of it.
Sure it would be better if he had more than 2 IQ and was capable of even wiping his own ass without an adult present but they at least explained it which is better than most Otome out there.

For being what it is, it ain't really that bad
