Description
The emperor Heraith Yorun Kellenhan, infamous for his nasty temper, pickiness, and extreme workaholism. And then there’s Lucian Astro, the legendary chief aide, even more of a workaholic, known for flawlessly handling all tasks. Hiding his feelings under a stoic facade, Lucian has been serving loyally, until one day, after yet another scandal involving the emperor, he finally couldn’t take it anymore. He tosses in his resignation and sets himself free. “Ah, quitting feels so good!” With light steps, he walks out of the palace. ** But then… “Chief of Staff! Please come back, I’m going to die without you.” “Lucian, the empire is in chaos. Please, we beg you, save us.” “Lucian, Lucian, please!” “Lucian, I can’t manage without you. Please, come back.” “No.” “I’ll do anything you want. I’ll raise your salary.” “Make it five times higher.” “Fine. Ten times higher.” “…What?” Reluctantly, moved by their pleas, Lucian returns with an incredible salary boost. ** But…? Is it just his imagination, or is His Majesty hovering around him more than ever? “What’s going on with you and that guy?” “Huh? We’re just working together.” “…” And now he’s interfering with everyone Lucian meets for work. “Aren’t you dressed a little too nicely? Who are you trying to impress?” “Excuse me? Today’s schedule is exclusively with Your Majesty.” “…” Unlike before, he starts picking on the most ridiculous things. “Why are you smiling at that guy?!” “Well, should I frown at the visiting king? We should be hospitable to the visiting envoys.” “…” Oh, come on, what’s gotten into him all of a sudden?! “I can’t take this anymore; I’m quitting again!” Lucian decides to escape His Majesty’s constant interference once more. And then… “Lucian, you’ll never get away from me!” What follows is a thrilling(?) suspenseful(?) romantic(?) chase, with Heraith relentlessly pursuing Lucian to the ends of the continent—or even to the depths of hell. “Please! Just let me quit already!”

My Thoughts on Please Let Me Quit, Your Majesty
"Please Let Me Quit, Your Majesty" is a completed original web novel, and after diving in, I can see why it's garnered a decent following, currently sitting at a 3.5/5 rating. It's a blend of adult fantasy romance with a strong yaoi element, focusing on a boss-subordinate relationship that takes some interesting turns.
First Impressions
Initially, I went in expecting a fairly straightforward "regretful emperor chases runaway lover" story. The summary hints at the protagonist, Lucian, wanting to leave the Emperor's service, and I anticipated a relatively quick setup followed by the Emperor realizing his mistake. However, the story spends a significant amount of time detailing Lucian's service, starting from the beginning. This slower pace might not appeal to everyone, especially those looking for immediate wife-chasing drama.
What Works Well
The slow burn romance is definitely a highlight for me. The novel really shines in its portrayal of the Emperor's realization of Lucian's worth after Lucian decides to leave for good. I found myself enjoying the shift in power dynamics and the ensuing drama as the Emperor grapples with the consequences of his past actions. The "love interest falls in love first" trope is executed well, adding a layer of emotional depth to their relationship. The European ambience and the hard-working nature of the protagonist add to the overall appeal, creating a captivating world and character.
Areas of Concern
One aspect that I feel needs to be addressed is the pacing. The initial focus on Lucian's service can feel drawn out, and certain plot points might feel rushed. Additionally, the depiction of consent within the relationship raises some serious concerns. While the story explores the power imbalance inherent in a boss-subordinate dynamic, it's crucial that these themes are handled with sensitivity and care.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Please Let Me Quit, Your Majesty" offers a compelling slow-burn romance with a unique premise. However, potential readers should be aware of the pacing and the sensitive themes explored within the story. If you appreciate detailed world-building, a focus on character development, and a dramatic wife-chasing plot, this novel might be worth checking out. Just be mindful of the content warnings before diving in.
