Review Detail of ImConfusedAF in His Majesty's Devious Sins

so far so good but ONE SLIGHT PET PEEVE! This story is good the author is doing a great job building up the story and characters. My only issue is the repetitive use of the word "deadpanned". For some reason the author seems to have a strong affinity for this word and continuously uses it to describe her characters lines over and over again in every chapter. Every comment seems to end with "he/she deadpanned". I'm at chapter 15 and hoping deadpan gets a rest.
