I think asking the kids to work things out when they even understand emotions is kinda crazy. I think they need to talk to each kid and guide them to understand their own emotions then encourage them to communicate those emotions to each other. I also see a lot of comments saying that Mikhail is rude. I think those people forget that he is a kid and that we are seeing things from Lara's perspective. Lara is upset that he doesn't want to play with her but is willing to play with her little sister, so she has become possessive of her sister. Mikhail not being interested in Lara is also pretty common. They are different ages, different genders, have different hobbies , and have different personalities. They have nothing in common. Mikhail is the most similar to the brother, so they interact and are friendly with each other. He finds the MC interesting because he can actually understand her while others can't. He doesn't have anything connecting him with Lara. I think it would have been better for the parents to do activities with the kids to help build those bonds between all the kids, but they just left them to their own devices and took for granted that siblings play together because they are siblings and probably would ignore each other if they were strangers or less outgoing. All that being said, this is a chance for both of them to grow. Mikhail can learn to interact and build relationships with people he has nothing in common with, and Lara can learn how to handle rejection. In reality, not everyone is going to to want to play or be friends with Lara. They may be more interested in one of her siblings than her, but she can't be mean to them or try to monopolize her siblings because of that. Mikhail also has to realize that people can be hurt when they feel ignored even if you don't think you are ignoring them. Both kids are cute and are just kids. They are not intentionally rude or mean. They are just kids. I think stories like this where the kids are mature and where an adult possess the body of a child often makes us forget how kids really are.
Yeah, these two are too young to just work something like this out. This is a teaching moment where you try to work out and help the children understand each other. They're just a tad too young to understand these feelings. I also agree with liking this cause they actually act like children instead of mini adults it's nice to read and makes it feel a bit more realistic.
Very well said!
TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS, like how can a sane person wait for a 6 year of toddler to handle the things out by themselves??? there should be someone in between to guide them to the right thing or appropriate thing to do at that moment…
or i hope the parents would pay a visit them separately when they are by themselves to bring those kids together but bro please don’t tell me her mum waiting for her daughter to mature herself up at that moment.
You know, after going back and reading the first few chapters, the mc's birth must have really been a wtf moment for the father. He is immortal and can't have children because he doesn't have a gender, but he still fell in love with this half-elf. After giving like a 10th of his powers to her, she disappeared and even put up a barrier to keep him out. Like she really kept him in the dark about the situation and even acted cold so he wouldn't stop her. When he senses her life in danger, he comes back to see her being taken by a demon and a child crying. He loses it and send the child away. It took years for him to recover and read the letter, but since he is immoral, it was probably but mere moments to him. He was like so that was out child and the reason you needed my energy? After bringing the child back, he has the try to understand the concept of gender when he knows they both have none while also watching over a child who wanted to go see the world before properly learning how to manage their powers. He has to watch his child be kidnapped, pose as a servant, do dangerous tasks, be accused of murder, and more just to so they can explore the human world. No wonder he think the MC strange. He probably thinks what's the point of all this when you can just live a peaceful but boring life under the sea? Daughter, son, why does it matter when you don't have a gender? Changing your body to wear a dress, ok? Why you out here playing with a dragon? Why you running into danger for fun? He probably so confused.
Agree with everything except that the father always has been insisting on calling the MC a son even though she didn't like it and understandably identified as a female since she had been living as one in the human realm all this time. Why call her a son? He should try to be more understanding concerning that but I guess that topic is simply used as comedic relief in this story... Kinda annoying for me...
I agree with all that, but the side of the mc also matters. She was happy and content in her life and is suddenly pulled into a world without her consent and is told about a father she never knew she had. Plus she doesn’t really get the option to return back to her home with the family that she originally grew up with and loved. Overall, I think they both have reasons to be uncomfortable and angry, but should be putting in more effort to understand each other’s sides. Also, he’s significantly older and should be able to approach the situation much more maturely than he has been.
Indeed, absofuckinglutely! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I agree with what you said and never meant to imply that the MC doesn't have a side or right to feel how she feel. She is the MC, so we will always see things from her perspective. My point was that sometimes it is easy to forget other people's perspective when you are only viewing it one way. Her father also has a perspective and his own unique experiences, and he was affected by the mother's actions just like the MC was affected by his actions. I was just listing his experience not denouncing the MC's own.
I totally agree with yours too! I just wanted to add to it. We don’t often get to hear the parent’s perspective in these types of stories, so I really liked your analysis of itヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
The way Javier just casually roast Lloyd is so funny. I missed them so much.
Imagine being arrogant despite failing and being put behind. No matter why she failed, she still failed. Yet, she want to teach someone a lesson and walks around calling other students trash. Tragic backstory or not, I know everyone in the class secretly hoping she get beat up.
Imagine trying to kidnapp someone as a group of three, and then calling the person you trying to kidnapp a coward for using any means to get rid of you. People crazy. Then, trying and failing to take a hostage when you are losing.... I'm laughing hard.
I know I shouldn't laught, but I can't help it. How petty can you be to tell someone yes on the phone just so you can see their face when you tell them no in person. That's so mean. I absolutely love Kaiden/Kayden and Kartein. They look after Jiwoo so well.
So the father just let the MC walk away after using a precious, expensive potion without permission and threatening him. Is this technically plot armor?
So where the snakes unalived off screen or something; I know the dad got one, but the others seem to be alive. If not, I think it's kinda ethically messed up that mc didn't come clean about the true people behind the attack, especially if the snakes have the opportunity to regroup and attack again. If they know, they can prepare.
I don't know why, but I kinda like the brown haired guy. He is encouraging the MC to grow and be strong enough to prove and stand by his ideas. Not to mention he has helped Shirone in past. I can see them becoming good frenemies. I can't wait for our MC to wipe the floor with him though. That 1 point differences is beyond antagonizing! Wipe the smirk off his face, Shirone!
As for the red haired girl Amy, I still don't like her. She is not as bad as before, but she never apologized or did anything to make up for her previous actions. Nothing that benefited Shirone anyway. I hope she graduates soon and Shirone finds a new/stronger goal, but I doubt that happens. In stories like this, it is quite common for the girls with terrible personalities to become the fl instead of the mc cutting them loose or seeking revenge. At least the MC doesn't pay her too much attention.
Same! The brown haired guy is so good at getting under Shirone's skin! He looks like he'll be a good rival.
Also, Amy is so frustrating for me. She's letting all of these misunderstandings pile up while Shirone is having to take the brunt of them. He just wants to study, not get a girlfriend! I was really hoping that the knight's older sister would be the love interest. Shirone actually showed interest in her from the beginning, and he even asked if she was dating anyone. Those two are still my wish, but I doubt it with how things are going. Please prove me wrong author!
Yes, please prove us wrong author!
I agree about Eruki or however u spell his name, but i disagree about Amy. I like her now that her character has improved. And she was trying to apologize but didn’t know how. It was the time when the mc gave her apples thinking that she likes apples but she was debating on when and how to apologize. I guess the author just didn’t include it in the end.
Idk i also disliked her a lot in the beginning. I guess i’m just someone who doesn’t stick with first impressions.
For me, it is less about first impressions and more about her never rectifying herself or her actions. She can jump to conclusions, act on impulses, and bully somebody, but she cant own up to her actions. Yes, she may have thought about apologizing a few times, but she never actually did. I believe her not apologizing is less to do with her not knowing how and more to do with her pride. If she apologizes and show remorse through her words and actions, I will like her more. Right now, she is not very mature.
I see. I respect that. What you said is valid.
She is definitely a work in progress and has the potential to become a good character though.
I want to ship them together, but I can't stop thinking of Arcia as anything other than a humanoid android. I am so confused.
