Sigh, I dunno this is just plain stupid at this point, this dude is so comically evil if the royals weren't absolutely useless due to the author saying so due to "plot" reasons he would've been executed at worst or dropped to lowest possible nobility rank and banished to the border or some shit.
Now he's here just to be "that evil dude which pesters mc" due to plot reasons and getting away with so much it's just beyond dumb and frustrating to the readers. Should've been switched out to another antagonist like 30ch ago imo.
And here we go, the usual harem protag bs, "I thought I was going to get scolded by them" for what, meeting a girl and giving her a gift 5 or more years ago and giving so little shit about it you even forgot about it all together? Like...sigh. this is literally in just bc the author wanted a harem but wrote the most generic, uninteresting characters for the harem and is having a hard time squeezing any screen time for them with how irrelevant they are, just, sigh. Bad writing.
At the end of the day, it's just sad, as it had potential but it turned into the usual middle schoolers self insert with all the bells and whistles for it to be generic af.
