(only my opinion, not an objective criticism!)
I believe that no pieces of literature can be categorised as "moral" or "immoral", they can only be "well-written" or "poorly written". It is possible to write a good story about a 16yo/34yo couple with lovable characters (though such cases in real life are almost non-existent), and I could enjoy a well-written piece with a questionable plot and an asshole main character. "Beloved" is the second case, but it's not well-written at all. The art is gorgeous, but we barely got to know the characters before they had the "do you love me?" quarrel and moved in together, so I didn't care for them or for their story. (again, this is just my opinion).
Also, I don't think her actions are illegal since the girl is 16 ("barely 16" means a bit older than 16), so the story was supposed to only question the mc's morals, not the legality of her actions. Given how immature the teen girl was, I think mc did the wrong thing.
Seeing that the manhua(?) is unfinished I hope the author is doing good and will make another attempt at creating a comic with a difficult topic
I believe the author was an art teacher/professor. I tried to follow her/him instagram before.
Update: I checked ‘her’ instagram and it seems like she’s been doingg and teasing some Beloved art and panels again. I hope we can see her work again.
Her instagram is @jaeliu and check her other account for the manhua (づ￣ ³￣)づ
as someone who was in gojo's shoes, people hating non-chan so much looks ridiculous to me. if i'm not wrong, she was the girl that told gojo he was disgusting for liking hina dolls. i agree she said a horrible thing, but... she was a kid herself... all of us said mean things to other children when we were little without realising that our words can cause them so much long-lasting harm. i will totally side with gojo if he won't make up with her, but she hasn't done anything horrible enough to be hated to this degree
(let's see what she does in the next chapters though)
Yeah I hope she changed as a person bc tbh I was told that my brothers shouldn’t play dolls with me because it’s not a boy thing and I understand because the adults around them tell things that would obviously cause a child to act like that and see how this different thing was not like what their parents or the adults around them told them as a child which makes them see it as weird. But my point is that I hope she turns out to be different and not a hating bitch!
