The Emperor's Companion

[RedWoven]

Am I the only one who just doesnt like the emperor at all...

 

[cutiepiepink]

@RedWoven I don't like him at all but they always make the ML like that for some reason

 

[cyphergodtae]

the plot is too shallow lmao the pope cant even decide properly first she doesn’t want to marry him and being brave then the next thing she’s just accepting it.

 

[dmpr]

I'm so close to dropping this series because of the annoying male lead like if I was the pope, I'd kick the sh*t out of him already. I'd rather stay independent and single than be with someone like him. The art is good though.

Any updates ?

If I'm being honest I find the MC VERY annoying. She feels very wishy-washy, especially around the ML: one moment she's telling him off for hurting her brother and viewing people as insects, the next she's reduced to a blushing mess at the slightest hint of flirting. It kills the pacing and is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING when the MC scolds him for something genuinely heinous only to be distracted by the fact that he's hot.

These interactions are grating because they take away from something potentially much more interesting and divert from potential conflict to something that does very little for either character. They aren't endearing either because at this point they don't know each other that well and the ML doesn't really have any redeeming traits aside from liking the MC and being hot. This leaves these moments feeling rather shallow.

I mean jeez I haven't felt so annoyed by the main character since Rental Girlfriend and to the very least those love interests were more likeable and engaging. Seriously lady grow a spine actually do something meaningful in those conversations!

Don’t read this; the cover is basically their whole dynamic, but both leads are stupider.

I don't think I can read this anymore. The MC says she'll devote her life to her sibling, but gets so easily swayed by the ML, who is honestly such a fucking shitbag. He's an evil murderer who had the worst possible first impression, and has exactly zero appealing or redeeming qualities. Other authors have managed to write evil, sadistic, brutish, tyrants as interesting, and even give them endearing character traits. But there is absolutely nothing likeable about this ML, and the MC who is swayed by him looks like the biggest, dumbest, flimsiest ass in all of existence.

1/10 stars. That 1 is for the younger sibling, the only half-way decent character.

On the raws, it is still updating and it's currently up to chapter 72 and I PRAY that by then, shit will actually start moving forward and the characters will have steady development bc right now I feel like I'm reading a story written by a little kid. No hate, the art is great and all but like this is just not it.

 

[euls]

a waste of time

 

[Kattekid]

The emperor is so unlikable that it's actually hurting the story. The MC is also not putting her foot down enough. He comes in frame cutting, Choking, and beating people. But shes just a blushing mess.
Not good. May e it gets better in later chapters but I doubt it.

 

[Ladychef]

This conversation is more interesting and entertaining than the actual story LOL

 

[ohtasty]

i honestly can’t stand the male lead, he’s frustrating along with the main character.

 

[cyphergodtae]

at least the emperor is becoming softer than the first 5chapters, fl is becoming more wiser i just hope things get more faster after this chapter we need more character development

 

[zanas]

While the love between sibling, conflict, mistery and everything else is interesting.
The ml an fl relationship is just too cringe and weird to me. Imma drop this.
Thank you for your hard work on this translation!

 

[Skathe18]

I continued reading this hopping it would get better. But no. I just get angrier with every chapter they release. I'm going to drop this. Thank you for your hard work.

As much as I like this, it's been a bit frustrating. I like the sibling interaction but I dislike the romance currently. She's too easily flustered by the ML right after telling him off. It reminds me of almost every Chinese modern drama novel in which the cold hearted CEO is super handsome but treats the FL like trash but as soon as he just smiles or flirts with her, she blushes like there's no tomorrow and forgets all the bad things he's done to her. Obviously ML doesn't treat her like trash but he sure does to everyone else. (I know this is Korean. I'm just saying an example.)

What I'm saying is, the relationship is really boring and shallow. I feel like it could've been handle a bit better than this. I'll probably just stick around hoping it gets better.

Dear Artist(s), you're wasting your time working on this web novel. You should work with another author with a good sense of story-making and not delusional to consider a violent, sick in the head person as a good person. This kind of ML is depicted as a-OK character despite his personality tells otherwise. If the author state he is a villain as ML then it makes sense to understand that kind of behaviours coming from. But to make us the reader justify his sick behaviour just because he is the ML is unbelievable. And I don't understand why the fuck FL kinda get along with it.

All in all this story is just not worth it. You should have moved on with another manhwa project.

 

[nureha]

2/10 - 1 for art and 1 for sibling plot
somehow the author forgot their own characters personality and switch from strong willed and smart female CEO to middle school girl just start puberty with a taste of bad boi serial killer 😶such a shame cos the story is interesting if the ML doesnt exist with the plot armor from having fake feeling forced by fake "god"

 

[TheGodEmperor]

People sure hate on things a bit too easily lol.
