I totally agree with you no one is obligated to like you back and I want to see him explore a relationship with the other princess they seem to be on the same wavelength I think they could learn things from each other to help them grow and further the plot plus yeah he’s old right now romance shouldn’t be the first thing til he is of age in this body too
Oops sorry I couldn't answer it was too long to read T-T sorry
Honestly i would prefer if there were no romance at all. Let him focus on more important things rather than being a liability cause of the romance trope
Everyone says that but then he'll just be lonely and the plot would be dry
Not necessarily, many shonen moves on with the story with no romance involved.
Romance per se is not a main factor, its just an element that adds spice to the story but not necessarily an important focus point.
Point 2 he doesnt need a love interest to feel complete, he is an old man(king) reincarnated in a boy’s body, that alone tells you that him getting a young love interest is morally wrong. Also define how the plot would become dry if he doesnt get a lover, the plot is rich enough as it is. Last thing I need would be him making stupid decisions cause of his damsel in distress
I honestly don't think remembering your pass life counts and this being wrong. No matter how I look at it he's still a child. They are many situations where he acts as a child and it definitely wasn't purposely done. Remembering a pass life doesn't change that he's still young and the same age as those other kids. In reality if someone was to remember their pass life they would be treated as they look and that would mentally make them act as they are treated.
Its ture this plot is really good without romance but what would be the difference from his pass life to this one if it didn't have any he basically was powerful back then too but he was lonely and had no family or friends.
But in this new life he has family and friends that he cares for, he is not alone that is for sure... plus you havent met the other potential FL.
ummm.... nope but I don't think that would change my opinion on there having romance in this. Yea it does get annoying when girls are pushy but I what can we do this is what the write likes.
The thing is ur completely right. Also I believe we all actually wouldn't mind romance if Tess was written as an individual. You mentioned you liked the black haired princess.. that might be because she was written as a character with her own personality, goals and ethics. Tess on the other hand is a character who revolves around Art. Any interaction we get from her is all about Art. Her jealousy, obsessiveness with Art overshadows who she is as a person. She is supposed to be strong and powerful yet why are we not seeing her develop her strengths instead of an overly done crush. I mean the whole reason she is at this academy was because she wanted to go to a school Art was at... its quite sickening. Honestly I would have totally shipped her with Art is she was a badass chick.. but all we got was this
I have a question Ya'll, I know from comments and just what the author did (which was kind of annoying ex: Tess being called mom/grandpa saying son in law) who Arthur gets with. And that this goes way more romance than we are going to like but I just want to ask one thing. Is no one else irritated or annoyed that they, from the beginning made it very aware that Tess would be the main lead?
Ok so harem or no harem whatever, but I think you should give your readers time to ship before throwing it in there face who they get with (if you have a FL). I would have liked to see Arthur hanging out with the princess and Tess, for us to get to know their character and build up the relationship. But there was none of that. I personally like the princess over Tess. Yes Tess is energetic, friendly and all that, but I think the princesses personality might suit Arthur better, but it was clearly written (IMO) that there isn't going to be development.
I think the princess is actually pretty cool. Clearly different from her brother and father, and acknowledges when she's wrong, looks deeper into things and is considerate. Her personality also makes it seem like once you get to know her, she could be shy when she opens up, and her real personality comes out. I feel like what she shows is because of where she is, she stated "Arthur was different from the rest' and her dad and brother clearly show why she might be the different of the family.
Anyway my point is, you gave us characters as love interest, but you were never going to make her a real love interest. I personally think Tess needs to take a step back. Even if you like someone they don't have to like you back. And your claiming Arthur, like he's yours and gets mad at any girl who approaches. That's not cool. Don't push your feelings onto others. Arthur never wanted to date to begin with. And I feel some of the romance is a bit forced and rushed. Arthur is a (20+ adult) who never looked at any child because he saw them as a CHILD, but all of a sudden he looks at Tess for a moment because of.....FL armor. She still looks like a child. If it was written in when they were....at least 16-18 then fine because they have actually developed more adult like features. But it was just.....not placed right to me. And it's actually drifting me away from their relationship for the most part. So I don't support her as the FL, and kinda wish all the romance would just go away until they are at least adults. There are some things about the manga that's been making me not like it as much (not just talking about the romance) as well. （￣へ￣）
I do not and am not hating on Tess, I just feel a bit disappointed and would like to hear anyone's opinion on it.
Thanks
