Is it even grooming if she has the mind of an adult. She’s literally not a child so she can’t be manipulated, in fact she’s probably older than the ML.
Exactly...not like the child FL go into adult body
she is not in her current body , she is still a child and appears as such to everyone. saying "is it even grooming if she has the mind of an adult" is very weird and i would argue harmful, as lots of adults start taking advantage towards children by going "you are so mature for your age" , the ml very much sees her as a child right now. She is not an adult. It is only her *mental age* which groomers and pedophiles love to ephentize in real life with their victims, i agree this is not grooming as the romance hasnt started yet, and i would hope for it to pnly start once the female leas has completed her whole revenge and is a bodily adult, they ml himself is still a teenager and still has a developing brain. I would argue they both are of similar mental ages right now, but that doesnt matter at all as the physical body always comes first. The story right now is focusing on the revenge aspect and waiting for the female lead to complete the revenge, i would assume the author themselves would like to keep the romance till the female leads revenge is settled and till they are both bodily adults, the romance still hasnt started i would argue, its only mutual understanding that they feel, like that of friends, it will most likely be a slow burn, but that slow burn hasnt started yet, like i said they are focusing on the revenge plot at the moment
I’m literally so confused on what exactly your issue is so I’m just gonna adress multiple things.
“she is not in her current body , she is still a child and appears as such to everyone.”
Yes I know. She died and went back into her child body. (her mental age did not regress, though that is why she is trying to get revenge)
“saying "is it even grooming if she has the mind of an adult" is very weird and i would argue harmful, as lots of adults start taking advantage towards children by going "you are so mature for your age"”
- Huuuuuuh???? Where did I even mention that she’s being taken advantage of. I explicitly said that she couldn’t because she was on a different level. What part of that was weird? I think you misunderstood my comment.
“the ml very much sees her as a child right now. She is not an adult.”
- Nobody said he didn’t see her as child right. However it was mentioned that at her level of intelligence people feel as if they’re talking to someone with years of experience (this was said in the story).
But she literally is an adult no ifs ands or buts idk how old she was when she died but her body was clearly not that of a child. Her mind went back in time that makes her mind that of an adult.
“It is only her *mental age* which groomers and pedophiles love to ephentize in real life with their victims, i agree this is not grooming as the romance hasnt started yet”
What are you talking about?????
I agree with basically everything else you said. Yes it looks like the romance has taken the backseat here while she gets revenge. I’ve read from spoilers that it will really only start after the time skip rn the foundations are being laid. I know it’s a slow burn and I know that this is mostly a revenge story before it’s a romance. I and the OP were originally talking about other comments calling the ml weird and others saying the mc was being groomed. So I was saying that it doesn’t make sense because she’s literally an adult and her mental age is far above even the ml currently. What I’m confused about is why I’m being called weird? Or harmful.
yes , exactly thank u !! ^ ^ i was just saying the statement itself was harmful, i understand she most likely wouldn't be able to get taken advantage of, but as a victim myself ive often heard that phrase so thats why i put it in, i was mostly agreeing with you besides that
Oh okay! I’d never use a phrase like that irl I was just considering how it worked in the manhwa. Glad we basically agreed on everything!
Did the story introduced romance yet? Doesnt seem so... Then WHY TF YALL BRINGING UP GROOMING
