i was trying to watch a video explaining things with the king in yellow and All of the comments were filled with, "at the crossroad don't turn left". there's so much more references like F&H, Signalis, Chorus of Carcosa, and SCP-701, which all attempt to go close to the source as much as possible

Man I’m trying to listen to the 7.5 hour audiobook, but like there’s barely any mention of the king in yellow, so i’m gonna have to watch an 8.5 hour video explaining it.
Lord forbid i be a fake fan

The point of the book "King in Yellow", is that it begins with the overt themes and influence of the King being obvious, with the first few stories being absolutely "fantasy", but as they go on, while the influence and overarching themes remain the same of people ruining their lives, the influence of the King fades into the backdrop, leaving the reader to take what they have learnt from the first few stories to guide them.

As far as lovecraftian themes go, the Book itself is a cursed theatrical play where the first act is 'harmless', but the second act is what truly drives you insane.
The King himself can be summoned if you say his name (||Hastur||) three times. Carcossa is a mythic city that was apparently 'stolen' into another dimension by the King and is his playground pretty much. And there's the 'Yellow Sign', his signature runic symbol, which also either drives you insane, brings the King's attention to you, or otherwise is infectiously dangerous.

Carcossa stylistically, is effective a stage prop made manifest. Black stars on a white background, a moon that raises in front of the spires. Its all examples of stage props but as a literal dimension. The moon in a play would be lowered from the ceiling while the towers are painted backdrop, and its easier to do black stars on white cloth etc.

Yaknow this only now made me realize The Scarlet King is just a ripoff...

Alternative interpretations (e.g. in Pathfinder) is that it's a city that was doomed by a disguised King in Yellow. People in it were proud, hedonists, artists and aristocrats and were fooled into viewing the Yellow Sign or otherwise dragged into a horrific dimension of madness.
As for making the King not an admeme, that ought to be easy - make summoning the King a heretic/cult style objective. Convert people with yellow signs, art, music or drawings. Trick people into saying his name. And such. Once you summon him the station is doomed, much like with Shadowling ascension.
In Pathfinder he also has a weird instance of immortality - defeating him leaves behind his Robe... And if you wear it, you ressurrect him immediately by being hijacked. And it's hard to resist not putting it on when you're influenced by him, looking at it, or ever viewed the Yellow Sign
Other games with direct King In Yellow references are the games by Digital Poppy: Parsnip, The Testimony of Trixie Glimmer Smith and others.

If only any of those interpretations were in the book
