Empress Cesia Wears Knickerbockers — Chapter 145

Well, deep breaths everyone, because Empress Cesia Wears Knickerbockers has officially wrapped up with Side Story 12! It's been quite a journey, and readers are feeling a mix of emotions 🥹.

Overall, the reception is overwhelmingly positive! Fans are calling it a "gem" and an "amazing story" that holds a special place in their hearts. Many praised its focus beyond just romance, highlighting the detailed exploration of various women's lives and struggles, calling it inspirational and a heartfelt feminist story 💜.

However, there's one *big* thing on many minds: the lack of a wedding scene! While some appreciated that the ending didn't solely focus on marriage, feeling it stayed true to the story's theme of women's worth beyond traditional roles, a significant chunk of readers *really* wanted to see Yuri and Aenon tie the knot, especially seeing Yuri, the dressmaker, in a beautiful wedding dress! 👰‍♀️ Others also wished for a glimpse of their future, maybe even some adorable babies 🥺. There's also a strong desire for more stories, particularly for the lovely Arsinoe 💔, and maybe even a sighting of actual knickerbockers! 😂 Despite these wishes for 'more,' the consensus is it was a beautiful, fitting, and satisfying conclusion to a beloved series ✨.
