Civil Servant in Romance Fantasy Chapter 143 Discussion

It's a fun read. Most of the chapters are comedy in a style that reminds me of Running Away From the Hero, but there is a lot of character growth as well.

The basic premise is that our MC, Carl, transmigrates into the world of a romance fantasy manhwa. However, due to the butterfly effect, Spoiler

the Empire is much stronger than it likely was in the manhwa. (It was likely semi-collapsed by the time the novel begins.)

[collapse] As a direct result, the 5 love interests in the manhwa are forced to be diplomatic and the fluffy romfan manhwa turns into a political intrigue story in this novel.

One thing to keep in mind while reading: we are getting most of the chapters from Carl's pov and he is an incredibly unreliable narrator. He not only gives misleading narrations; he also misreads other characters all the time. Moreover, he is Spoiler

depressed and suffering from ptsd, and it shows in his perception.
