An empress with no women in high positions... are all the women invisible?? i don’t get it

It was mentioned by a side character early on in the story too, something along the lines of “I hope women are able to hold positions of power here too, similar to the empire”. If you're gonna drop hints and raise my hopes like that, why not follow through??

She doesn't even have any close female friends (excluding her old nanny)!!

The emphasis is always on surrounding the FL with hot guys even if it’s not a reverse harem story. Just a couple of other women at least in positions of power would improve the story.

Plus the art style suddenly changed and the characters look 12 years younger… devastating because I loved the FL’s initial look. Now she's just a cookie cutter fl appearance wise.

Aside from that, I REALLY liked the story! The main couple charmed me very early on, and are such a power coupleee. The ML is also raising the standards single-handedly. The FL is also a baddie

I'm putting this on hold cause at Chapter 64, I'm not really hooked much on the execution even tho I know something's bound to happen. I guess you can say it's generally predictable.

We'll see if I can get back to this.

Frustrating read

(time of writing: completed first season)
I wanted to simply put it as mediocre at first for being unoriginal, but the plot just grew to become stupider with time.
It's... INCREDIBLY frustrating to read extremely forced plot, like characters with no chemistry that barely know each other fall in love for no reason, characters being extremely dumb in an OOC way for the sake of plot or legit HUGE plot holes and inconsistency.
Which... honestly could be passable if the rest was written nicely enough to make you fill in the gap yourself, but it's just that inconsistent and plain.
Honestly the flowers situation was my last straw. Girl what. You said it yourself it was weird.
The choice of ML is very obvious from everything but they got negative chemistry and are just forced into situations together. Plot would probably be more supportable without the romance aspect.
In short, if you can deal with the annoyance of glaring plot holes, it's only a very mediocre read. I won't say it's the worst nor say to absolutely avoid it, but you're probably better off spending your time on something else.

It started very well, the title is very, very perfect to describe, it really is "Splendid Debut".
