Clarification: both the mc and the blonde guy are real people who somehow entered the current novel world. They likely are both grown in the real world. And both have somewhat realized the identity of the other. (Mc still is a bit unaware). I don’t think anything will happen in the current world romantically. It’s likely that they’ll finish the mission in the novel and either move onto the next novel or go back to the real world
i got the feeling in the last chapter, that both were reincarnated & maybe didn't have a huge age gap - BUT(!) since the MC reincarnated into a 6 yrs old's body, the fact that mentally they (or their souls r) around the same age, doesn't cross out what i said in my initial comment.
so hope like u wrote, they "jump" back to the real world before they develop any romantic stuff...
this any better. he is still 16 while she is freakin 6 (⊙…⊙ ) that gross on so many levels. so his always making cow-eyes at her - while she keeps thinking it's her mother, he is mooning over makes me uncomfortable. ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
i hope this doesn't turn romantic, until she's over 18 (cause even a 16 yrs old with a 26yr old is a bit pedophilic) IMO.
& i seriously don't wanna read posts where people say, they know people in real life that have this kind of age gap. cause IMO even 18 & 28 is weird - cause i don't see why a 28 yr old or even a 16 yr old for that matter, would want to be around a child - unless it's for nefarious reasons. i.e grooming ┗( T﹏T )┛
