3.5 stars purely for the MC.MC is a hilarious character. I can't believe I was so invested in the antics of an adult, even in a baby's body. MC lived recklessly like the only enlightened person who knew the world was ending. If he didn't have loving family that grounded him, MC would have gone insane.Once again, a novel highlighted that monarchs are the most hypocritical existences. The Emperor had so many children, allowed them to have official positions, then expected them to accept the status quo despite their strengths. Spoiler
He is the one who created the tragedy of the crown prince and the meaningless death of the 4th prince. I cried so hard, I mourned with the MC as if crying for a real person.
[collapse]The tone of the story became so depressing after battle for throne started. It snowballed into such a tragedy. Stubborn greedy people fighting for an elusive throne. It deeply hurt when MC's sincerity was finally trampled for the throne.I was rooting for MC to be able to escape the royal struggles. It was admirable that he chose to be responsible, even when the position was forced upon him.
