I mean, I know I'm a bitch for reincarnation plot and obsessive psycho ml, but this is actually going pretty well and not so predictable as I was expecting it.
Usually this kind of reincarnation plot (at least the ones I read) focuses on erasing the awful past and shows a good person in the present as to prove he is a completely different person, but this one actually shows how toxic and fuck up the relationship of the main couple can be, and how unstable the mental health of the crown prince still is, and it shows how he constantly messes things up and do evil things, even in his childhood, which is quite refreshing to see, giving the fact that yes I believe everyone can change as long as they want to, but it's not easy and not something that can happen to a day from another as sometimes the authors like to show. And it's amazing the determination of the mc, giving the fact that he faced many bad situations in the crown prince's hands in the present line of time, but he chose to never given up and keeps trying to mold the ml to be a good and sage emperor, thinking about the atonement for their sins and the well-being of the empire.
I think it's much more believeble and refreshing to see a long journey to change the ml and show how he makes progress, even if it's a tiny step at a time. But again, it's just my humble opinion and my personal taste, I'm actually enjoying this story very much (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
