Not bad, but not all that great either. Enjoyed how laid back the MC was and his interactions with the other characters, but after a time, it begins to get dull. All the characters are pretty one dimensional and they remain the same as when they were initially introduced in the story, only changing a bit after interacting with the MC. No depth to any of them whatsoever.That leads me to the harem, which is just beyond underwhelming. The majority of the novel is just spent with the MC flirting with them and things going nowhere. The only one who really had even the slightest bit of progress is the Queen, but otherwise, things remain the same until the end. Only in the epilogue do the women each have a chapter dedicated to them and their relationships are confirmed.Spoiler
What really ruined things for me was the MC adopting another persona and going around with this false identity. One of the tropes I hate the most is when a MC disguises themself, and even if I know it's the same person, I just feel disconnected and can't come to care about the scenes involved with the farce. This went on for several hundred chapters, and only stopped appearing close to the end of the novel when that false identity was hardly ever mentioned. He didn't even tell the truth to one of the love interests who fell for that persona until the epilogue where only a single chapter was dedicated to her. Cant say I love drama, but it was anticlimactic.
[collapse]Besides that, this is at best an okay read. Don't go into this expecting too much, but it's good enough to read when you have downtime.
