MC barely even thinks about his family. Everything surrounding MC always seems to be bigger than life. That's why i like Ai's romance since its very grounded and gives a bit of relatable drama compared to whats happening in the story. Aunt is basically forgotton at this point and i hate that. Give some grounded motivations for MC, in fact give some motivation for MC. Kinda like in Shattered Eagle where the MC could choose what drives them, love for his daugther, love for the Empress, ambition, spite etc.
