lazy for a real review so...
- probably not continuing after this volume which is disappointing.
- not a fan of one main character. initially, was a classist tsundere. and after some trauma, now is giving super-smart, manipulative, and strong gary stu. him manipulating the other had some potential for an interesting romantic dynamic but, it quickly fell flat.
- for the romance, they liked each other too quick. (->)

iayal (->) and i'm not a fan of how that one main character treats the other. it's not the normal tsundere behaviour but, something unappealingly selfserving and initially, riddled with classism which is unlikeable. they're on such good terms with each other right now so, im just expecting some vanilla, blandass shit from now on.
- i can tolerate the actual romance but, a lot is really stupid. im annoyed about how one character is able to pretend to be an eunuch in court and not a single person found it? he is literally supposed to be a random orphan volunteer as well, not someone noble... i think the extra appendage would've been noticed. actually so fucking stupid. idk why you would write the eunuch shit if you can't commit to the bit.
- the plot is pretty simplistic and things move really conveniently. nothing worth sticking around for.
- found the random two chapter pov character more interesting than the two main characters.

i know a lot of people really enjoy this but, i think that's a wise decision! some of the stuff in this is just plain stupid - not even anything subjective from me.
