What do you think about Aleksander wanting Ravka's love? How does it look like for him etc
You can't keep doing things out off goodness of you heart, while all your credit's constantly overlooked. There should be either visible results or some acknowledgement (preferably both), otherwise your work becomes incredibly draining.
While Aleksander DID have results to show for his lifetimes of work, let's be honest- even Little Palace pales in comparison with constant animosity and servitude. He's fighting windmills and he knows it.
“Fairness!” he laughed. “Still she talks of fairness. What does fairness have to do with any of this? The people curse my name and pray for you, but you’re the one who was ready to abandon them. I’m the one who will give them power over their enemies. I’m the one who will free them from the tyranny of the King.”
Shadow and Bone- Chapter 21
Btw, interesting choice of words once you realize he's talking from a position of a serf. He's not merely changing one tyrant for another, like Alina answers, considering his stance on servitude, I don't think he'd let it last for long. Sure, you cannot piss off all the nobles and immediately turn everything upside down, unless you want your country to collapse, but while he might not like to give up control to the idea of democracy, I think servitude would be on the top of his list of things to get rid of.
But back to your question:
Sure, he desires love just like an other human being. He WOULD like to be genuinely appreciated (once he'd believe it), but I think he has it in the same category, where ordinary people tend to place sudden inheritance from previously unknown rich relative. Sure, it could happen...
What he wants is peace and Grisha to be viewed as ordinary people. Even Brainwash-Bullshit-Baghra admits it in one of her manipulative lectures:
“My son was not … He began so well. We moved from place to place, we saw the way our people lived, the way they were mistrusted, the lives they were forced to eke out in secrecy and fear. He vowed that we would someday have a safe place, that Grisha power would be something to be valued and coveted, something our country would treasure. We would be Ravkans, not just Grisha. That dream was the seed of the Second Army. ..."
Ruin and Rising- Chapter 10
I don't remember him ever stating anything suggesting fleeing human affection is among his goals- quite contrary- it was his enemies (in the Retcon duology), who claimed it's what he wanted.
All the Darkling ever wanted was to be loved by this country, adored.
Rule of Wolves- Chapter 20- "Genya"
"That’s why the Darkling expanded the Fold, isn’t it?” Nikolai mused. “He was looking for a weapon that would leave no one in doubt of Ravka’s power. He knew if he gave the people victory, they would finally love him. ..."
Rule of Wolves- Chapter 31- Nikolai
Aleksander is too much of a pragmatic realist with too much experience with people. He knows love cannot be forced, and while it might make some things more pleasant, it's not what he requires. He insists on cooperation (See: Alina) and he's too ​disillusioned with life to even hope for any kind of appreciation.
He'd settle for results.

"ARTIST OF THE WEEK"
21 SAVAGE
-savage is by far one of "RAPPERHOLICS" personal favorites. from his early 'Slaughter Tape' mixtape days to his most recent 'Her Loss' joint album with Drake. we think it's safe to say that 21 Savage has earned his spot as one of the greatest street rappers of all time. as we give Savage the flowers that he deserves, sit back and enjoy some of his greatest moments.

The effort SDMI takes to label every bottle as soda or grape juice to appease the network is so funny when, years ago, Zombie Island had the gang themselves drinking an unlabeled red liquid that is clearly meant to be wine
