The Sienna and Aciel age gap and 'pedo' situation would be the same even with Sienna and Lou, what are you talking about? Sienna is 12 years based on what I understood from Chapter 32 when her body and age reversed. And Aciel is what 16 or 17 since he's still in the academy. That's 4 years apart.
Lou looks like an 8 or 9 year old boy, so that's basically the same years apart. The only difference in the age gap is the sex of the one who's older. Thus the prejudices come in. This is why despite society saying that pedophiles are disgusting, that mostly applies to male because they're easy to spot or recognize. I'm not saying any of them are pedophiles but this talk with age practically leads to there right?

Honestly the only one I barely ship her with is Michael... not as much for the age but for their relationship. I know there's reasons for the ml be the ml... but they feel so bland together... I'd rather have her single or ml be someone new on her life.
Honestly whe whole age debacle is why I prefer less romance possible and only after timeskips into adult age. If mc get with someone her body age, is pedo cuz of her mental age... if they get with someone around their mental age is still pedo cuz their body is way too young. I guess the main problem on this one is that she looks like 10 and ml looks like 25+... I even confused him and the father a couple times when reading... personally I think the ideal age is when their bodies have at most 5y gap and so their mentality... like mc is around 15, ml around 20 and mc mental (former) age around 25 at most... but with these comics you really have to overlook a lot. Honestly I draw the line on mc feeling attracted to ml/fl when they are kids and teens... the moment I read how they look so good for their age is when I drop it... that and when mc was 30+ and in the new like get it on with teens... I can't stomach that... and it goes both ways regarding gender.

No worries. I really understand your point too. We do see a lot more male pedos being caught then female ones. Unfortunately young boys are led to believe that getting it on with an adult woman is something to be proud and brag about. And we do see less talk about age gap in female mc comics. There are some complaints in the comments but not much discussion. I think the only other one I've seen discussion was the one where mc turned into a maid of the imperial palace on a 19+ novel... her age gap with mc was also around 5y but people got ruffled cuz he looked way older then he was supposed to be.
So yeah... thank you too... ^^

Hm... that's true... but it's also a bit different? It's not like he's contemplating about romantic feelings... but remember that mc was keeping quite the distance between herself and all 3 of them... but now she's very close to Michael and while not really close she is way closer to the Duke than before... but she keeps making a point to stay distant from him. And while we as readers do know why, for him that never did anything wrong to her and even saved her before it must feel really bad no? Like... being so obviously excluded like that kinda hurts...
But all in all I think the actual plot and memories comming back should have only began after she turns 16 or something... and before that only family time. All that happening around a 12yo is too much for me. Especially because she doesn't act like a regressor at all. Her mentality and decision-making are so childish I often forget she ain't a 12yo inside... I think this is another reason people feel the gap between her and ml is bigger than it is. He as 16 looks old and keep doing things in his father's stead like an adult... and she... keeps acting, looking and thinking like a child (like, 10 or less). So it feels like a 10-15ys gap instead of 4-6ys... at least to me.
But the art... is very extreme in either they look like kids or adults... I've seen no teenager in it looking the part...

I feel like it's just a very slippery slope for the author to even consider romance for characters that are this young. I'm not into the "I'm a regressor so my body's age ...." kind of thing because regardless, that body is still the body of a child. Same with if the regressor starts to develop romantic interest in someone of the same age because that is also just a power dynamic (one being mentally grown versus one not being grown).

Yeah... I think so too... 12 is just too young for everything that is happening tbh. And yeah, that's my main problem with regressors too. Fortunately I've noticed a tendency of them regressing to an older point (18-20) or having a timeskip from 10yo- to 16yo+ which is already something at least... but yeah... I also hate when they start to hint at romance while they're kids... and again... mc honestly look like she's around 8-10yo... and acts and thinks like a kid most of time too. It kinda bothers me cuz I'd rather have an mc that I can at least feel theres an adult, regressor or possessor inside. Take Leonia for example... she acts childish sometimes... but her fixation with muscles and way of thinking constantly reminds us that she was an adult modern day woman at one point. But this mc? I really forget it most of the time..
I really wish it had a skip to her and Michael being at least 16 before the plot started in earnest... less than that is just... too weird...

Cesare is a feast for the eyes. An interesting but a very frustrating character; that part is exactly the same as a lot of male lead characters. However, there is this depth in his character that is very interesting; despite him being a bastard. I will root for him. BUT...why are the male characters who have a role in Adele's life so GOOD LOOKING?
That "I'll just quit my job instead" was what I was waiting for in Dash too. Good one hehe
