Empress Cesia Wears Knickerbockers — Chapter 23

Alright, diving into the comments for Empress Cesia Wears Knickerbockers Chapter 23, and wow, did this chapter get readers talking! There's definitely a mix of adoration and frustration brewing.

First, the fan-favorite: Lester! 😍 Readers are absolutely swooning over him doing his 'hubby duties' and being the supportive 'best boi'. There's a collective sigh of "Lester my poor baby" and plenty of calls for him to get all the good things in the world (or for readers to steal him if Yuri doesn't want him!).

However, the main source of heat this chapter is the blatant double standard regarding the sexual harassment plotline. Readers are *furious* that Yuri faced such severe repercussions after being *falsely* accused, while an actual minister openly harasses someone right in front of the Empress with zero consequences! 😠 This has led to strong criticism of the Empress, with many calling her a hypocrite and questioning her judgment, despite some brief moments of finding her funny. The redhead Aenon also gets a good amount of flak.

Amidst the anger, there's continued love for Yuri navigating this unfair situation and even some debate on potential ships. Oh, and let's not forget the running observation (or complaint) about the Empress seemingly wearing that same pink dress Yuri made again! 😂
