- BullerRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This is pretty much exactly what I like to read. Personal lover of everything involves GL and I can pretty earnestly that this here is promising some great things. Sure, the chapters aren't too long but I don't have that much against it. Content is great, style is great, grammar is a bit lacking on some fronts but that's perfectly fine, and, overall, it is pretty solid fiction. 5/5
- D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)Royal Road★★★★★ 4.5In all honesty, “The emperor wouldn’t approve,” is something I usually wouldn’t read. It’s a historical fantasy / nobility / girl’s love story that focuses on the life of Lady Sunny, a daughter of a high-born noble family who is forced to marry the emperor of Khiling, Kel. Kel is a bit of a dick, really. That’s all you need to know about him. Meanwhile, Sunny’s true feelings are for another woman of lower status, ‘Minny’.
While the story starts with the imprisonment of Lady Sunny, we quickly fall into a flashback of her younger years that leads us up to this happening.
You might notice that this story has a different writing style than most western novels and at first, I had assumed that this was a translated work. However, after some correspondence with the author, I have come to understand that this was a mistake on my own part and that this story was written deliberately in a fashion inspired by the prose commonly found in eastern novels. There is a bit of comma-work that still needs to be done, but the author has told me that they are in the process of editing as we speak!
The character dynamics are interesting enough. But a lot of them stick true to the tropes of old-world nobility, which I suppose makes sense, given the ‘tradition breaking’ nature of the story and its MC.
All in all, if you are a patient reader who is looking for a soft-romance story, then you might get a kick out of this one.
Please, give it a fair shot and make up your own mind! =)
