Thank you for the chapter!

Was so focused on every page that page 12 came as a jump scare.

Take your bets everyone, what happened to the prince? Did he become a decent person, did he become obsessed with Alm, or is it something else?

He changed his job from prince to princess.

Why yes Author note at start while Johannes does care he still kinda a Jerk thou but I mean comparing him to this other guy we see too alot uuh. I mean I dunno Johannes only slightly better since atleast he cares about the nation in his own rly ely ely poor way lmao.

 

[Memoflora]

I honestly think Johannes can still be redeemed, but it's clear he's gonna need a couple character arcs and a lot more beatings before that'll happen. I'm hoping after being put in his place he'll actually try to work with Alm rather than just working Alm, because the Author is making it clear he's not the ultimate bad guy here.

As I recall Hitler also claimed to care about Germany, look how well that went.
Road to hell is paved with good intentions, just because he says he cares doesn't mean the ends justify the means.

Yup.

I've been worried since the beginning about the fact that, even though it enjoys beating up on him, we're supposed to think he "does have good goals, and so deep down is a good person".

Meanwhile what we've seen is a guy who goes, "We must fix the corruption of my rivals, but it's okay if I do it". That is generally... neither a good person, nor someone you want in charge. >.>;

Also: Whenever it claims he's really doing it all for the country, I want everyone to remember the moment in the first chapter where he ripped up the miasma-cleaning talismans the protagonist made because they didn't hold up to his "standards" of her stuff being so much better than everyone else's. Her stuff being "amazing" kinda seems more important to him than actually getting the job done, and what does that say?

The author can claim whatever they want, but they've firmly painted a picture of a guy who really only cares about himself and his own advancement. There's plenty room for character growth, but you can't just up and sell him as "actually a good guy" at this point.
