So, you're reading this novel—great! But before you go any further, let me give you a little advice: DO NOT treat this like a history textbook where you need to memorize every single name that pops up. Seriously, don't do that to yourself.
There are a lot of characters in this story—some will show up for a chapter or two and then disappear into the void, never to be seen again.
They are not important. Do not get attached. Do not stress about remembering them. If you try to keep track of everyone, you'll only give yourself a headache, and worse, you might start resenting the novel for throwing too many names at you.
And that's just the wrong way to read this.
Instead, just focus on the important people. Joana and Aegon—those two, you should remember.
Maybe her maids, but don't get too invested because they might be replaced by new ones at any time. If you want, you can also keep track of the major figures, like the other women in the harem, but that's totally up to you.
And look, I'll be honest—because there are so many characters, I might mess up some names here and there.
Maybe someone will be called one thing in one chapter and something slightly different in another. If you notice this happening, just let it slide, okay? Don't come at me with a full name database proving I made a mistake.
Just go with the flow and enjoy the story.
That's all. Now, happy reading!
