I think it'll be easy to understand to others if they read the novel first since there are some parts that wasn't included in the manhwa (like how Joffery got praised by the essay he brought to the queen during their class and Gray asking how he did it, and also the queen being happy for the gift to the point she's gonna frame the essay) but it's still understandable without reading the novel just some other details got removed and I read the novel in google translate anywayヘ(。□°)ヘ
