As a girl I can see why people are kind of grossed out, not necessarily at the age gap but the story itself. I mean I've been reading manga for over 10 years have gotten used to the FL looking like an actual child so I'm not to bothered by that, but I am bothered by the touches and kinship moments between the hero and demon queen. The fact he talks about not seeing her thighs because of the lap blanket is kind of gross, not matter what age gap lmao. Or when he constantly wants her to sit on his lap. I think the hero is just overall creepy in general, but people may be getting their feelings mixed up because the artist drew the demon queen as a kid (makes it 10 times worse)
Kinda reminds me of when people got sensitive over the fact that a 4 year old female child was wearing a "bikini" or two piece swimsuit because they thought it sexualized her.....gross because why would you even think of a child that way. lmao.
Very impressed to see how healthy this relationship is progressing. Not much ignorance from the ML. FL's character is very similar to ones who have been oppressed and is very well written. Haven't been impressed with a story like this in a long while. Hopefully it continues to progress this way. Fingers crossed.
