I found the webtoon first then got mad that it was daily pass and that I would have to pay to read the series. So, I tried to find scanlation sites, which failed... then I found the novel.Tbh, I wasn't expecting to enjoy the story as much as I do, since I don't normally read this genre. Yeseo, the MC, reminds me of Dokja if he weren't a sociopath. It's kind of nice to see an MC that's an average person but still isn't boring to read about.I like how he uses meta methods to predict what happens next, like character designs and plot armor since he hadn't read the story he was put into. I could never have the patience to read so many in-universe history books to find out more about the world. I'd probably just die.Also, it's refreshing to see the development of the side characters (which is unfortunately rare for a lot of media recently). They don't overshadow the main character, and have interesting dynamics amongst themselves.Spoiler
The plot going so off the rails from the OG story makes me believe that Yeseo won't even have to worry about dying in the original way. But based on how the characters' relationships are being developed, he just might...
[collapse]Ahem, Rant Below:I genuinely don't understand why people are upset at the MC for "tolerating abusive behavior" at the beginning of the series when 1) its part of his character development to become less of a pushover and 2) he's being held hostage in a foreign dimension while pretending to be the real prince. Tf do you want him to do when the imperial family disrespects him?? Also, he can't both be a Mary Sue and and a s*upid pushover, so pick a f (UwU) ing lane.
