Neon Genesis Evangelion is interesting for this. I mean I didn't finish the show but it seemed like a cool idea.

An enlightened dictator might run things better, but freedom, which comes from strict limitations on the power of the state, is incredibly valuable... More valuable, in my opinion, than having the state work a little better

Every bad strongman thinks they are a good emperor, good emperors turn bad, too much power in one person so bad decisions in areas outside their interest, no redundancy, succession?,strongmen control narratives so a lot of “good emperors” were actually horrible, etc etc etc
-
it wasn’t until recently that I really appreciated how big the succession thing is. Smooth succession is probably more important that almost all substantive things rulers actually do
