I'm sorry you aren't clicking with the novel! I haven't read it myself, but I know people who did and they generally say Imperial Uncle isn't very traditional with its romance, including being unclear about the love interest for a while. In most novels, I'd say the main couple is pretty immediately obvious.

I hope your next cnovel read goes better!

Well, maybe things will develop into a direction more to my taste. Something finally happened that made me a bit more interested - granted, only after about a hundred pages of mostly boredom. I need at least one character to root for when I'm reading, and right now, the narrator might finally start to fall into that category.

As someone who loved The Imperial Uncle, it's definitely not for everyone, and it also very much NOT representative of danmei as a genre.

It would help me a lot to know who will be endgame/which pairing I'm supposed to root for.

I thought so, but wasn't sure. Glad to have it confirmed, even if it's only no. 2 of the interesting options in my opinion.

Thing is, I have no idea if I can trust the main character. A first person narrator who keeps saying that nothing is his fault? Super suspicious! *g*
