The tone of the relationships between some of the women of this story are very wlw coded. Johanna and Paresa or the earlier rendition betwee Paresa and the other maids are very much friendly but the way the Empess and Paresa are written have romantic undertones. The author likely did that accidentally but it's something that's very visible on screen. Not to mention the weird pacing of the story and sequence of scenes just make the relationship between FL and ML rushed and we don't get to a lot truly emotionally intimate scenes between the Emperor and Empress. All culminating into this mess.
Yes this is good, yes this has accidental unfulfilling queer appeal. As it turns out, stories can be interesting AND dubious!
Most GL omegaverse are untranslated. I can read in Japanese but there are so many untranslated in Korean and Chinese... I recently binge read Best Friends and I was wondering if there more GL omegaverse here.
