I’m mainly talking about earlier/mid chapter comments, but also recent ones.
Many people bring up how MC looks/acts like a kid, or how he “is” a kid (despite being 19/20) and also say the ML is a groomer/pedo?? Yet they still read this story. If you think this story is pedophilic, why the fuck are you reading it? Especially since there are SEX scenes.
From the get go you know there’s an age gap (ML looks older and refers to MC as a kid bc he’s younger than him) and that the ML is an asshole. You know the MC is young but an adult. Like 18-20. And you know he’s innocent and childish. You know this manwha is a YAOI and gonna have SEX. You also know most likely, like every other BL, the MC and ML are gonna end up together. Yet you continue reading the story.
A story you think is pedo. A story where the Ml who you think is a groomer/pedo/asshole and where the MC is a young adult who is innocent (that people keep saying is basically a kid or are uncomfortable with his age) are gonna have sex and probably gonna get together.
I side eye people like that. If you honestly believe or feel 100% uncomfortable with these things and consider it something as vile as pedophilia, and know the most probable outcome (them getting together) why the fuck are YOU still reading it??
And this is the same for rape stuff too. If you find it so horrific and vile, why do you continue reading it
It’s one thing to say sometimes some words or actions make you uncomfy or give vibes like that, but overall they’re adults and it’s just x, y, z but not actually bad or whatever. Or you still aren’t sure about MC’s age or if the Ml is a weirdo like that, and are trying to find out or are just unsure in general (in the beginning chapters)
But It’s another to say you actually view the MC as a kid and the Ml as a pedo, or just a despicable human being really, and then continue reading the fucking manwha anyways. Especially when you know most likely what the endgame is and that they’re gonna have sex throughout

It caught iff the rest of my post
But the ending was something like this idk:
I’m not invalidating people’s opinions or feelings. If you feel that this story is wrong, that the ML sucks, ML is pedo, Mc is dumb, that you hate rape, or whatever you think about it that is extremely valid. Even if I disagree. But it is so mental and extremely weird to keep reading a story with sex, a relationship that will most likely be endgame, and all of these things that you don’t like.

I saw a comment on forums critiquing this story. The commenter was saying if the story had refrained from being sexual and romantic they would’ve likes it. Basically, they said it was pedophilic and the Ml was essentially a child in an adult’s body. They said “but adding sex with an adult who has a childlike demeanor” and then “it was like pedophilia but without the underaged individual”.

I saw the comment. Tbh I don't agree but I understand where they're coming from
tbh what I dont rlly understand where people draw the line, he's "a child" at heart but it would've been okay if he's just a skilled shooter that killed at least 5 people (also got rid of a ton of zombies) as long as there was not any romantic or sexual stuff going on?
He was abandoned by his mom (at most) when he was abt 10y/o so that's when he technically stopped constant contact with other humans so the things that you learn abt culture, social rules, etc are lacking but he DID grew up and base on a few things he said, he read abt those things, also he clearly started going outside and even w/o a society he was coming across all kind of things.
And also we are capable of liking someone at any age, hell who hasn't heard a kindergarten kid liking a classmate? kids start having the desire of doing romantic stuff with the person they like rlly early on as well. By the time they're in the last few years of primary school they already know and think abt sexual stuff.
In all honesty I think people underestimate the intelligence and awareness at certain ages

even if the author wouldn't ve rush the story and jump right into the sex bit, he could've developed an emotional and sexual relationship with the MC bc attraction is not something you unlock after a certain amount of social interactions, is a normal thing that people experience regardless of their upbringings
my comment got posted as I was editing what I was saying but this is what follow the last line
LET ME BE CLEAR I was NOT saying MINORS have the emotional capability to understand what is like having sex and being in relationships. Just that we can FEEL emotionally or sexually attracted to someone
I need a rundown to understand what’s going on in the recent chapters. Tryna decide if I want to read or not
It's just mc catching feelings for the ml and forcing him to have sex with him in different ways as he tries to mold mls body to his liking...I think lol. He's definitely becoming obsessed and possessive.
