So far so good. The misunderstanding between the retainers vs carlton is funny (even tho it leads to something bigger). The character development is good. ML was on celibate, not a s*x craze, and not suddenly gay after seeing pretty Duke. There's development why he interested in Duke. It's not Duke kindness or Duke pretty face (it helps but not main point why he fall in love), but everything Duke does spark interest in him. Moreover he has misunderstanding about Duke's circumstances growing up which make him more interested. Duke isn't smart in many ways (he is dyslexia and couldn't ride horse) but he is not dumb or s*upid. His past life made him understand hardship of lower class people so he has better empathy and doesn't act arrogant on his regress. Even tho he understand that he is not smart, he doesn't give up and still learning. He gave up his easy-party-life in capital to stay and being lord in his Duchy. He understand it's not that his body was weak, he actually normal healthy young man, it just his vassals never let him work or do anything remotely labor (chopping woods or pick up grains).
