spoilers for the part 1:
I like how this picks up the plot line about forming a democracy. I like how it shows all the issues that can arise with starting one from scratch in an area that's only ever been a monarchy. I like how the main villain wasn't brute force this time and decided to go through the system itself. Shows that the system isn't infallible. People you don't want can become candidates, or the candidates aren't new blood and will only perpetuate the current system you're trying to break free from.
After Guan submitted his paperwork they were trying to think of ways to stop him. The Earth king rightly said they can't just call off the election cause- that's not how democracies work. It'll be backwards to what they're trying to achieve. I appreciated the inclusion of that.
That ending. Woo. Loved it. Already finished the rest of the arc and really enjoyed it. Great read.
