Good grief, I HATE the guy. Every time I see the Emperor I have an unspeakable urge to chop him to pieces. Why am I being forced to tolerate the squid until the end battle? The whole plot with him being involved is not working for me, and apparently not just for me.
I don't know how it could be rectify, I really don't. It will require a major rewrite of the story. But the main story with him is just insufferable.
