Everyone's confused so summary up to chapter 3: our neko was a beggar BUT he got tricked by a business partner he trusted and sold to the palace for the harem (once in the harem you're imprisoned there and can never leave). The servant ladies who are supposed to be working for neko are abusing him instead. He's rarely visited by the emperor and they don't do full sex when he does visit, so everyone assumes he isn't like by the emperor. Frustrated by being stuck in this situation he makes one last effort to see if the emperor will be kinder to him, and then when he's refused again the neko tries to murder the emperor. Neko is imprisoned for this. But in a shocking twist he's released from his jail cell and married to the emperor! It turns out secretly the emperor loved him this entire time! Now he's the empress and can no longer be bullied by servants. Now in chapter 3 he's loved by his husband the emperor, he's treated well by the servants, and he has a life of wealth and full sex.

This feels like subtle nuerodivergence representation (being overwhelmed by his 5 senses). I'm always a fan of any rare disability representation in manga.

That comment under where you can start reading it made me glad i saw that before i started reading. He definitely feels like subtle neurodivergence representation and i really like how they showed how he struggles with and how much that affected his life (grades, being overwhelmed with crowds and lots of talking) it but also how it can help in other situations to be able to pick up on things others don't
Also the coming home to someone and rambling about things that went well even though they might be considered small to some, feels like a very neurodivergent experience (one i often am doing)

Nuerodivergence, in my country at least, is used to refer to specific types of brain differences. Most mental illnesses don't fall under this category. The most common nuerodivergent conditions are the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and ADHD, but there are other conditions as well. Personality disorders, and mental illnesses like Depression and Anxiety, and intellectual disabilities (low IQ), aren't considered nuerodivergent.
