Regarding the mind reader/Minamoto/Mizumoto (his full name is Minamoto Mizumoto and characters seem to switch up which they use for him) guy and to anyone confused as to the recent chapter (89), do they know each other? What's going on?

Well, I decided to go back and reread a bunch of the episodes. All the episodes Minamoto makes an appearance in are as follows: 36, 37, 45, 56 (one panel image), 58, 65.5, 68, 69 (nice) and 89. This is for those who want to check it out themselves.

In none of these do we see the two talking to each other (knowingly), or acknowledge they know each other - MC has often been really near him, in one chapter they had even sat next to each other in the cafeteria. I assume MC knows Minamoto to a degree though, as Minamoto is popular.

So, I can only assume, from what we've seen so far, is that Minamoto knows of MC as a fellow university student and they know of each other's existence. I doubt Minamoto has found out the true source of the "BL world mob" thoughts. The line about his cover being blown is weird though, I can only hope the next chapter may shine some light on it. (Minamoto is also aware or the BL mangaka, Mayama? who is also aware of him, and is acquaintances with MC, so that might be another connection).

Reading the first 15 chapters, definitely something I'd recommend people give a try. It's a fun read for sure, with some somewhat unique elements (though not the first of it's kind). The art is a bit general for the genre, but very pleasant to look at.

Basically, not really something mind-blowingly unique, but I'm enjoying reading it.

She spent more than 72 years in there. Dying over and over again. Honestly, no wonder she went insane, anyone would.
Love to see a FMC in an action genre, and be batshit insane for once - hope she gets rid of that ring and only keeps getting stronger

Wow, straight up acknowledging misogyny women have experience throughtout history (and sometimes even today), in a historical rofan? Unexpected but welcome. It really adds more weight and nuance, to know the ML is now aware of this (or that he has to be), and has to truly think how his actions will affect his wife, whom he previously thought wouldn't be affected (ie. the revenge). I really like that touch, even if it may be a small thing.

While there were no clearly marked spoilers on the novelupdates forum, someone had translated some korean reviews into English. From reading those it seems like the crown prince is the true ML, unfortunately.

Locked away his emotions? Nah, man is gulfed in hate and bitterness. Lack of emotions doesn't make you act like that, hate does. Lack of emotions would still leave with your logic and things you knew before, so it doesn't automatically make you an asshole. He just chooses to be one.

Betram from The Prince Doesn't Cry From Mere Onions is a good example of a character who's actually lost their emotions - and guess what, he isn't an asshole! He still knows ethics and manners bc those aren't just based on emotions.

Ik there hasn't been any concrete foreshadowing for this, but it do be kind of suspicious that Laslo shares his eye and hair colour with the Emperor (black hair and golden eyes). Sure, they might be slightly different shades, but only in a way that more detail-oriented people would care for - Emperor's hair is a slightly cooler tone whereas Laslo's warmer, and Laslo's eyes are a bit darker than the Emperor's (comparing the chibi heads at the end of ch26). I'm actually surprised there hasn't been more implied, as in my experience these kinds of details tend to have signifigance.
Like who knows, Laslo could potentially be an illegitimate child of the royal family. That could also help explain some of the Emperor's favour towards him. (As for Lynnia, I suspect she and Laslo are either half-siblings, or siblings not related by blood.)

The story so far is alright, there's a lot of cliches but it can be enjoyable. The pacing is alright and the art is fun. I'm a bit afraid the childhood friend is a 2nd ML (even if it's in vain I still hold hope they're only platonic), but we shall see ig.

I really hope that we get to explore deeper parts of characters we've been shown glimpses of. That's what I noticed this story does - it shows some nuance to characters, even if they might be considered "bad". Ie. Leah's half-sister forcibly married to the Emperor and being raped (I don't necessarily mean her with the deeper parts, I feel bad for her but doesn't look like she's going anywhere character-deveploment-wise), the Malau kingdom's princess not being able to inherit the throne because she's a woman, and sir Ralph (red-headed knight) knowingly trying to pursue Millie despite knowing he had no chance, probably just hoping for one. I love character complexities, and it honestly is a shame we only get them from side characters, none from the main. I still hope they will actually get utilised/explored more in the story.

While i know they can't see it, I'm proud of them for recognising their health and reducing the frequency of updates. I hope this will become the standard in webtoon spaces in the future, to become a preventative measure for artists' health, and not just as a final means when it's already getting bad. I feel bad that the author feels the need to grovel and apologise for this decision.

They keep dangling the true identity of Anna's bio father, argh!! Just say it, we all know it! (Maybe it was an uncle of the blondie as well... after all, he himself is a 3rd son).
