As much as I like 'Jinshi, the Moon Prince' and 'Jinshi, the Lover,' what I'm a huge fan of is 'Jinshi, the Honorary Ma Clan Member.'
He's Basen's milk brother, they grew up and trained together, and the two are still close today. Gaoshun treats him like one of his own sons. Maamei is not afraid to push back and give him advice even when it's technically above her station as a woman, and Jinshi (being who he is) sees no issues with this because of how much he respects (and fears) her. Chue is not afraid to goof around and tease him in relation to his love of Maomao (as long as Suiren and Taomei aren't around). The antisocial Baryou can talk to him just fine (albeit in part because he sees him as a level above human, but that's just Baryou). And Jinshi knows damn well how scary Taomei (who nursed him alongside Basen) can be, just like Basen and Baryou.
The Ma clan can't ever be his "friends," per se, because as part of this society, they're required to be "servants" who don't forget their place. They're only in the Moon Prince's orbit because they were born to be. And yet, like the preordained marriages of Gaoshun/Taomei and Baryou/Chue, they've found some affection for one another anyway. As evidenced by the many other awful people we've seen, it could've easily been an incompetent prince and his band of corrupt and/or bureaucratic and/or boring-af lackeys (the Western capital provided a great contrast), but it's not. They're all fairly good, smart (sans Basen), upstanding people with vibrant personalities ("characterful," as Maomao would put it) all doing remarkably well to navigate the difficulties of this time in history. Jinshi is so lucky to have the Ma clan, and the Ma clan is so lucky to have him and each other.
The Ma clan is my favorite group of characters in the whole story, and in my mind, I always include Jinshi (one of my favorite characters) as an honorary part of it. There's some excellent Ma clan fanart I've seen ("are the kids alright?" by @sporadora, The Ma Kids! by @vsettacrescellie) that rightfully includes Jinshi. And as I've discussed before, Lishu's coming in as well and I really can't wait to see how that goes, Jinshi interactions included, 'cuz Lishu's awesome and she deserves this relatively (considering the era) warm and caring family.
I was already enamored by all the characters pre-LN8, but I think LN8-12's introduction and fleshing out of the Ma clan, especially Chue, is when I truly fell in love with the cast and when I felt like I really got the full picture of Jinshi now that we've seen the clan he (partially) grew up with.
day off!

Maomao is Autistic
Another botched translation from the LN5 Epilogue;
Maomao is as close to being confirmed autistic as you can POSSIBLY get, short of the DSM falling out of the sky and hitting someone on the head.
The Official English Translation has this passage;
Firsthand experience was just so much more memorable than merely asking questions. That was all. Maomao wasn’t any smarter than the average person, just a little more...dedicated. And when it came to emotion, that she actually had less of than most people. She felt sadness and happiness, anger and joy—less acutely than ordinary people, but they were there. But there were other emotions that people allegedly possessed which Maomao still didn’t understand.
But, no, "a little more... dedicated" changes the intent completely.
Because the kanji used here is the same one for Autism's characteristic special interests, in diagnostic settings.
強い興味 = Strong interest.
経験はただ聞くよりもずっと身につきやすくなる、それを実行しているだけだ。猫猫は他人より賢いわけではない。興味が他の人間のそれより偏っているだけだ。そして、猫猫の場合、知識の代わりに感情が人よりも欠落している。喜怒哀楽、それらは乏しいなりに存在する。でも、他人が普通持つという感情のいくつかはいまだよく理解できない。
A more direct translation is this;
Experience teaches far more readily than mere hearing; I'm only putting it into practice. Maomao isn't smarter than others. Her interests are simply more particular/concentrated/specialized than those of other humans. And in Maomao's case, emotions are lacking more than knowledge. Joy, anger, sorrow, pleasure—they exist, however sparsely. But she still doesn't quite grasp some emotions others take for granted.
She also very specifically uses "HUMANS" here. Not just "ordinary people." Other humans. The wording is focused on her alienation from other people and how it leads to wariness and misunderstanding-- something I find extremely familiar as someone with autism myself.
That's important for the overall tone of LN5's epilogue, because the point is that she denies her own value and neglects her personal emotions and desires. Her neurodivergence is part of both aspects.
She isn't calling herself "more dedicated," that's a compliment. She's making a neutral statement to downplay her intelligence, arguing that Jinshi would be making a bad choice if he picked her.
Unfortunately, the "official" English translation is like a death by a thousand cuts. It's the loss of a lot of little details like this, compounded with the MUCH larger mistakes, and the occasional peppering of what seems to be active bowdlerization, that makes it so bad <:/
