Wait that was super cute and very in the feels. I actually thought that this would be some funny twist on annoying the prince trope because of how silly the MC was so I followed along with the funny choices. But when it got serious with Ignatius emotions and sobered up real quick. I nearly cried reading through what his real emotions were.
Usually with princely characters, to make them more relatable people give them tragic backstory(tm) or give them some sort of gap. But I like how Ignatius fears are very realistic and makes sense given his background. I also like that the privilege aspect of Ignatius background as a prince isn't obvious because being isolated is something a lot of people also experience with.
I really like how MC is. From being goofy in some choices (I mean, you can be totally normal but MC's annoying tactics really charmed me) they can also be really honest and understanding, especially with someone like Ignatius. I like how, even though we don't know the full scope of their relationship, both MC and Ignatius progression within the time we have with them felt very natural and not at all forced or rushed. Just seeing their dynamic change and become more sincere before bouncing into who they are is very fun and satisfying to end on.
Overall, had a lot of fun with this one! Really made my day :DDD
