Yea i grew up reading japanese and korean comic, non-blood related siblings as FL and ML is common, it might be weird and uncomfortable in real life, but in fiction like manga/manhwa it's really common
Also i find it weird how western readers see everything as problematic in fiction, even in an ovious fantasy trope
For example :
1. When a 100 years old vampire dating a high school girl, they call it pedophilia
2. When an adult FL got reincarnated as a little kid with her past life memort intact and have a romance with ML who's also little kid, they called it pedophilia as well, or even worse, child grooming
They always put logic and realistic morals into fiction, even when there's no way it happens in real life
And even if it happens, it doesn't mean the readers who enjoy the trope will enjoy it too in real life, i love gore and bloody movies, but i can't see real blood, i can't even look at my friend's finger that got cut by cutter when she sharpen pencil
yes exactly! I've suprisingly seen so many negative comments towards those topics. It's one thing to be conservative, but some people really can't take them for what they are "fantasy fiction". Also, it's not like the FLs fall in love with the MLs as kids, most of these isekai stories follow the same pattern where they eventually fall in love when they're both much older. I'm curious to know what they would find acceptable, the FL falling in love with an adult who share's the same mental age while they are still in a child's body? They would still complain about it. But I have to take into account that half the people that use this site are super young too lmao
literally like are people brain dead or what. i seriously dont understand how people dont know who the male lead is sometimes when it is so obvious... like i get it if its harem/lots of guys but if he's on the cover and everything it should be pretty self explanatory
cases like these its obvious af smh
I completely agree, and I'm a western reader myself! Like these are common tropes found in all manga, so it's ridiculous to constantly complain about these things. Age doesn't matter in fictional stuff, if it makes ppl uncomfy then they can just drop it, no need to whine about it. And usually when there are age differences it goes with the story (historical manga and stuff) that's important to the plot or fits the time period. These will never translate into real life because ppl can't be vampires and other fictional things, so their complaints make no sense!
Wow. So true. Readers should just sit back & enjoy these tropes because it’s not like pedos r gathering here in droves to read such mangas lol :D
If u read my comment, it states that the age differences are usually important to the plot, like if the manga is a historical one. There is nothing wrong with having a 15 yr old girl marry a 27 yr old man if the time period in that manga is set in like the 1800s or earlier because that is being historically correct. Unless you suggest that we alter the facts of history and the past itself, which would be ridiculous
Lol did u even read my comment? Because I have no prob with wht u said n didn’t take issue to it either
Sorry, misunderstood. It sounded like sarcasm to me, so that's what I thought you meant, my mistake.
I’ve noticed that in a lot of other recarnation fantasy isekai stories a majority of ppl recognize who the ML is from the promo/first chapter/cover art. So what is the difference in this manhwa where it is that confusing that Dietrich is the ML. Is it bc he’s classified as her “brother” that it stops him from being a ML candidate lmao. 9/10 times if a story introduces a pair of “siblings” as not blood related you can more than likely expect a romantic trope especially if there’s a romance genre tag attached. I can understand that some of y’all are uncomfortable with the idea but I thought it was quite obvious who the ML was from the start.
