This is a neat concept but it feels like the direction this story is taking is too strange and out of place. There are so many issues but it short, the author doesn’t know how to handle or portray true trauma-stricken mental illness. The emperor being the male lead when the doll and soul of the mc look so much like his dead baby sister is also super weird. And, as someone else mentioned, the plan to stop the war seems to be a bust now. It’s hard to imagine anything good coming out of this when the emperor already seems too far gone to the people.
I agree to all of this. I was the one who left the comment about ignoring the whole war thing - it would be fine to sideline it for a bit/slowly work towards it, but the way it feels like it was completely forgotten (until it'll be suddenly mentioned) just feels wrong and frustrating.
It's also frustrating because this story has an interesting idea that could work, and I also adore the stylized art style, but there are clearly issues that don't seem like they're going to be solved in a satisfied matter
I haven't caught up on this and I committed a cardinal sin and read the latest chapter without knowing context. WTF IS GOING AWWWNN CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN? I don't care at all abt spoilers lol
