I love how Yuri is included as a potential partner for Melissa by the writer, regardless of who she'll eventually end up with. Asian writers still tend to be pretty heteronormative and all same sex relationships are almost always portrayed as platonic, so it's really refreshing to see that Yuri's attraction to Melissa isn't written off as friendship.
also, while the male leads were trash, I do wish they would have some character development in the future (though I see no hope for the green peacock. I don't even remember his name lol. He can rot in hell for all I care). Especially Ian, since he's going to end up ruling the empire and he needs to be a good emperor to ensure that Melissa could live peacefully in the future, and Jake, since he shares a house with Melissa and I'd actually like to see them have some sibling squabbles that aren't actually out of hatred.
