### Summary
Reader commentary is overwhelmingly focused on the character Ibelin Dott, whose behavior at a royal banquet is met with widespread ridicule and amusement. Her action of standing in the middle of the party reading a book is immediately identified by readers as a classic "I'm not like the other girls" and "pick me" trope. This behavior is heavily criticized as being rude, pretentious, and disrespectful to the royal family. The most dominant and frequently repeated comparison likens Ibelin to a "Wattpad Y/N" character from mid-2010s fanfiction, specifically the trope of a girl reading a book at a One Direction or Harry Styles concert to appear different and inadvertently attract a celebrity's attention. While Ibelin's actions are the primary source of cringe and humor, some readers continue to mock the Prince's "triangle face" and appearance, contrasting him with the "cute" Emperor. In contrast, readers express their enjoyment of the protagonist, Latte, who shares their cringed reaction to the scene, reinforcing the story's self-aware and comedic nature as she watches the cliché unfold. A few comments also offer meta-analysis, suggesting that readers' negative perception of Ibelin is influenced by "main character syndrome," as they might have found her behavior relatable if the story were told from her perspective.
