ngl bro, i have stopped reading this story since i made this topic, so idk,, but he is still a child like presently, he behaves as a child, looks like a child and thinks like a child ( from what we've seen) so regardless of what happens next, mc SHOULD NOT have even an iota of blushy blushy interest and interaction with him... Just imo tho

I think it's just reader baiting, tbh. Because, in a practical sense there's too many problems for the author too if they start any romance now: FL is in a kid's body so being with someone "physically" older is as much out of question as being with a kid of her own "phyiscal" age. If a "kid" her age suddenly regained memories of their own past life as adult and "became mentally a grown up over night", then they'd be better suited... It's the only solution, IMO, and thus what really worries me is if the author will induce me to drop the story by misleading me with the same ol' "I'll start foreshadowing who the ML is as well as his 'real' mental age, but slowly enough to make readers uncomfortable but curious at the same time, keepping the ML's 'mental grownup' status as a secret from readers until muuuuuuuuchhh later on in the game..." (which IS, reader baiting)
but tbh there was no need to start any inkling of romance this early on in the story. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE FL IS A GROWN ASS WOMAN IN THERE. like girl wtf i thought it'll be a sick ass story where she finally get her family out of ruins and MAYBE when she's back in her original age/ older, there's going to be romance, BUT NOT WITH THIS KID MAN WITH HER FRIEND'S GRANDSON???? INSANE. like i love that the art got sm better as the story goes on and I love the concept but fucking shit why
