Tbh the MC does not deserve to be king. He literally has no past accolades and he literally is his mother’s puppet. He’s not even trying to sway the support of nobles his way to secure his position.
From my current point, halfway through the chapters, he literally isn’t even trying to fight back when his dad told him he won’t make him emperor. Like dude get some backbone and fight back against your dad and mother. In theory, the mother is completely useless without the MC. Without her son, she has no leverage to stand on. He is her only heir. He could literally put her in her place if he put in freaking effort. It just pisses me off. Like I can’t figure out what depth there is to his character other than being a damsel in distress and the MC. I’m only 19 chapters in but I really hope his character improves drastically.
