personally i dont get the whole "mls are bland" thing here. like sedin is very similar to the ml in "beware of the villainess" and everyone absolutely loved him. sedin is very understanding, he knows his boundaries, and when fl asked him to stop with the overprotectiveness he listened. what is he even supposed to do now to satisfy you guys? he's exactly what the fl needs, an affectionate and understanding man, someone who will listen. yeah sure he's a bit dependent, but so what? he's an absolute green flag. fl doesnt need someone to bicker with her all the time. (also those saying you wish it wasn't so romance oriented, she was literally moved to a romance fantasy novel where everything is about the mls sticking around her).
i dont find the romance forced. he was the first one to ask her if shes okay, and they gradually started leaning on each other. there were a few sudden moments no doubt, but overly it flowed pretty well.
also crown prince is no way a bland character. he has his own fair amount of issues, both his personality and the environment around him. honestly with how he acts he feels very realistic lol. also the whole clockwork thing during the moments where he "romance"-ed her makes me thing the novel has a certain bit of influence on him. overall i like his chatacter.

i really like it so far but the start was a bit confusing. so they accepted him, however his skills may be, and put him into the group that was set to debut in a year or two even without any notable skills on his side???

He has some skills tho and that is adapting and at a fast rate too. I think it was explained in the earlier chapter that he adapted some skills with music through acting, its not the greatest but a little unique its entertaining
Another thing is because he is attractive, both his visual and character trait.

anyone know what's the chapter release schedule and if there's an official website to read the eng trans on (if there's one)?

Its updated officially every Saturday on https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/titles/100119

so i heard something about moondae having a similar issue to what sejin faced with bully accusations or something, can someone tell me how it gets resolved?

Spoiler ahead guys
So moondae got accused of stealing a pad from a fellow classmate by his other classmates because they're bullying the female classmate and wanted to spread a rumour so moondae is the perfect scapegoat because he's quiet and alone and gloomy
Then one of the bullies recognised moondae then made a post about the rumour but said it was real they said something about the female classmate dropped out of school because of what moondae did then boom everybody attacked moondae
At the dorms all the guys wanted to help but moondae said he can't clarify anything and the guys persisted and frustrated moondae blurted out that he can't remember shit because he tried to commit suicide and it was silence
that guy is the second prince who "led the army" during the war right? or is he the emperor?
he's the prince
