Ngl the amnesia cliche is one I tend to avoid BUT the “I’ll still fall in love with you all over again even without my memories” plot, that shit, I eat that shit up. I love it. Almost wish they gave me a little more angst

Rix finding everything Nuah does as cute is everything I want and more, AGSHFHAKFKHKJSHAD THEY’RE SO CUTE I CAN’T HANDLE IT.

The Decker looks like a handheld vacuum. You can tell by that one body shot panel that they wanted to make it look cool but it’s just not working....

I love how supportive they were when they thought he was gonna loose his virginity. They’re such cuties it was adorable

Aside from little plot progressions (within pretty short chapters), the same interactions between the MCs have been going on for the last 5 chapters. Ik it’s cute and it shows how dependant he is on her but have many more times are we gonna see the “don’t leave me/ hate me” “I won’t (but I’m lying and only _whatever her name is_ can lift your curse), say that again and I’m gonna get mad” conversation.

Ik we out here simping for dad but baby ML already stole my heart. Took him 25 chaps to make an appearance and I love him already.

I’m a sucker for puppy dog MLs, can’t wait till he grows up and becomes more attached to FL

But if ur coming from the first instalment, you should already know not to take this shit seriously, and from that standpoint I really fucking like it. The smut low key nosebleed worthy

But there’s a lot more than just personal feelings and your own agenda that come into play when your in a position of power like the emperor. (I might be getting my stories mixed up but iirc this dude is one of the few emperors that actually does his job as an emperor ie. during the whole foreign delegates pork incident he doesn’t get blinded and another event I don’t remember.)

Yeah he seems pretty stupid rn (but to be fair I wouldn’t know what to say if I were him) and it’s not like he can just selfishly be like “no I don’t want a concubine” when part of his job is to pass on his lineage and his wife is potentially infertile. There would also be a whole shit ton of politics that come with rejecting a ducal family (but I can’t really comment on this area)

TLDR; Ye his a little dumb but can’t blame him

Just overall, the storytelling is really messy and all over the place,

like for instance the end of the 4th chapter and it’s unnecessary jump to a dramatic flash forward In chapter 5. At first I was into the whole “ooh I wonder what happened l?? Why is there a fight” cuz I thought I would be a character building moment where he fights with the band members due to conflict of opinions and popularity arguments (that they did mention previously only to not bring it up again) and maybe seme having a whole “ik I have an image of a selfish guy but Im serious about both my man and my music” moment which leads to confession from uke

But instead we get that whole assault scene which had no value whatsoever to driving the plot, he could of simply confessed (as he was already going to), but instead we get a assault plot with a completely irrelevant character who has a dumb motive and only lasted a bit of a chapter.

Also character relationships in this story are so vague, they never really went into exactly what they’re relationship in the past was and why uke (semi)avoids the seme (did they become friends? Was concert the only interaction?). The story is cute and good for a quick read but all they really do is fuck, the chemistry isn’t really there and we don’t really see why or how uke falls in love in the first place.

I didn’t realise I had such so much to say lol.

Ajusshi~ will I ever remember your name? No~ ahhhh I love the way he strokes the ukes ear while they’re making out it’s just ASDFGHJKL so good.
