I have been reading the manhua "the rogue prince is secretly an omega" and i am really enjoying the story so far. I like the mais cast and the plot is pretty interesting and got me invested on what is going to happen.
But i can't get over a few missed opportunities that would have made the story go from good the exelent.
On the first few chapters i thought the empress would get some sort of development or would at least be more fleshed out. I really really liked that she has a calculating and scheeming personality and that this played directly on the narrative relating to her situation with her husband and subsequently with her son.
I mean it's just obvious that someone who grew up watching the curruption of the nobility wield actually good resultus for other nobles (be it rising on the social hierarchy, marrying into richness, etc etc.). Besides, on that context no marriege was made for the sake of love, she is pragmatic and grounded on reality when she scheemes to mary into royalty and she succeedes!!
I think this goes a long way to prove that she is smart and can use her resources to her advantage even when a literal prince did not want to marry her. All the while being an omega, so like there is that disadvantage as well.
But i really think they could have upped the game in regards to her hiding that etienne is an omega. The story plays it like this is her hunger for power and this is the only way she knows how to controll people and that is fine and good, but my vision is:
Imagine if she was tired of all of the scheemes of the court, the gossips, the political façades and most importantly tired of her own fate married to a man who failed to reach the societal standard (which was relevant to her when she chose to marry him) who does not love her and niether does she love him. I keep thinking what if her story was one of regret, if only she was not an omega, if only society could have acepted her as the head of her family she would not have to be in this eternal power struggle to mantain herself and her position on the court.
So she chooses to give her son a different life, somethibg she thinks she would have wanted in his place. A chance to be an emperror and wield all the power even while being an omega. Of course, she would have to keep on scheeming and making secret plots to get him there, and they would have to hide the fact that he was born an omega.
But she has already moved so many plots in her life, so what if she is tired? It is for a better future, it is for her son to have a chance she did not. And she embraces that choice.
I think it would still be very ok for her to be a domineering character who rages at others, a perfectionist and a very controling person because this is what her reality shaped her into beeing. She has to be in control, because her son is still too young to make choices for himself. She has to be in control because this is the final stretch, look at how much they have already achieved. At how loong they have already fooled the world. Etienne can not loose his rightfull place on the throne, just because her husband is doting on a random person (richar).
I trully think that if they had went with this motivation she would still be able to move the plot in a very very similar manner, and they wouldn't even have to change her personality at all.
She would just be a much more compelling character and we would be able to relate to her trying to live another life trough her son and falling into the same scheemes and bad habits she grew to hate because this is the only path she knows. All the while she could be geniunely believe that she is doing all of this just to give her son a better life.
Honestly i can never get over how much of a lost opportunity this is.
I mean there is still chance, but i think it's very unlikely at this point.
They just wrote her to be a villain and they didn't care to give her any depth. Even while all of this was right there, didnt even have to think too much.
Also i hate that on the most recent chapters the emperor is like helping Etienne??? And everyone is like, ok i forgive your years of neglect bc yeah the empress is really fucked up and uuuuuuhhhhh............. bc you seem to care abt etienne now? Just because richard used the talk no jutsu.
Dont even get me started on how they could have made the emperor story more compeling.

How to clean your life up after a mental break down
A step by step guide.
1. Take a shower 🛀
• Brush your hair and put it up (were about to kick things into high gear)
• Change into clean cloths
2. Take care of yourself
• Pour yourself a big ass glass of water and drink it ALL 💧
• Eat a real meal, fresh fruits and vegetables and a protein that is not deap fat fried🍌🥕🥪
• Refill that glass of water and keep working on it💧
3. Clean your room
Having an clean space leads to mental clarity, while having a dirty room has links to depression and anxiety.
• Start by making your bed with clean sheets
• Throw away all trash
• Take dirty dishes out to the kitchen
• Toss your dirty cloths in the laundry
• Put away any clean cloths
• Clear off surfaces like your desk, nightstand, book shelf and dresser
• Dust everything
4. Organize School/Work life
When I have a break down, it manifests itself through procrastination in school assignments.
• Make a to do list of the assignments/tasks you have to do. Arrange them from most to least important, by due dates, or by difficulty(hardest to easiest). Pick the method that works best for you, then plow through your work!! You got this❤️
• Clean off your computer desk top and clean out and organize your email, respond to any emails you have been ignoring.
5. Social Media/Text Messages
Being on social media can throw me off, and sometimes even into a mini mental breakdown, so be mindful of what you personally need!
• Respond to texts first, delete any conversations that you dont want to keep
• Clear the notifications on any apps you dont want to be on so you dont feal pressure to oppen them anymore
• Delete any apps that cause you stress!
6. Get Active! 🐕🚶‍♀️
• To help keep your mind healthy, go outside!
• Walking dogs is a great way to be active, and to be cheard up (dogs can do no wrong!)
• Ridding your bike around town, or even just around your home is a good way to breath and get your mind off things
• If your a normal person sho actually hates excersise, even when dogos are involved, then try meditating.
• The app Headspace leads some really great meditation sessions for free!
7. Recuperate
Now that you have cleaned your life up for the time being, you need to realx!
• Go to bed in time for you to get at least 10 hours of sleep!
• Make sure that you wash your face
• Finish off the rest of that bottle of watter if you have not already
• Journal about your day if your into that
• Take 10 minutes just to calm down, focus on breathing, listen to music and relax
8. Repeate!
What you just finished is called living a healthy lifestyle (excluding the mental breakdown part)
• You should always strive to take care of yourself by drinking and eating correctly and by using proper hygiene
• Keeping your room tidy helps keep your mind free of unesecary clutter
• Staying organized at school/work helps prevent breakdowns in the first place! Keeping a schedule and a running todo list will make you feal a lot more stable
