Conflicting Feelings

The art style and story seems to very cute and overall sweet, but I honestly just wish they didn't make this grooming/borderline grooming. Do not like that they made the ML literally the one to raise her, plus him being 3000 years old when she's 18, and the fact that he developed feelings/sexual desire for her before she was even 18 - - though as a 3000 yr old dragon, should still be viewing her a child for the rest of her life tbh

    Asian stories are filled with lots of conflicted feelings. Good thing they are just a fantasy.

    I suggest you that if this kind of plot makes you feel uncomfortable, you read a bit about the plot before starting. I have seen many comments like this because they were expecting a different development but the story pointed that way from the very start.

    It was strange that her mother had a wedding with an idiot instead of looking for her happiness, and her contract was "take care of my child", which pointed that way all along knowing it was a romantic story. Also, the title gives you a hunch, romantic story with "no more princes" gives you a dragon as a romantic option xD

    I understand that you cannot enjoy the story if this kind of relationship has an age gap of thousands of years because you are referring to an old man looking for a girl, but as I have said, fantasy, he is not old for a dragon, different life spans.... And of course, a fantasy.

    I think it's a bit odd that your immediate response is don't read it and get over your conflicting feelings. You can still read and enjoy something without liking everything about it and taking time to have critical thinking skills about what you're reading, which you should absolutely be doing with any content you consume. Saying something is ok just because it's fiction without actually engaging with the text, is a problem in my personal opinion, as the content we consume does in fact shape how/what we value, our morals, and what deem to be right and wrong. Again, I personally think it's important to think critically about what your reading and understand why certain things rub you wrong or bother you, especially if it's something you otherwise like.

    Excuse me if I have explained myself wrongly, but I never said you should stop reading, or get over your feelings. In fact, I've never said you should change the way you think or critic stuff.

    Please, read again the comment, and again I am sorry, because I am not a native English speaker, so misunderstandings can be created quite easily.

    If you prefer a blunt answer, here we go: do whatever you want and think whatever you want to. I don't really care about what you think or how you express yourself in life or what makes you feel hurt, I respect any opinion, in fact I have read many extreme opinions here and I have never bothered about them because, as you have said, having an opinion makes us the way we are.

    However, approaching fantasy with a real life mindset when you are reading fiction to enjoy yourself it is not something I would like for anybody.

    To be blunt again: there are some topics that I do not feel anything about them because I do not measure them with real life, that's it. Of course I have morals and everything, but my point of feeling "bad" is not easily reached.

    I have seen many people getting really troubled with topics and trying to make others feel bad about what they read. There are some sensitive people over here, and I suggest, not impose, to read the summaries beforehand.

    I suggested you the same, just in case you were the same as them, but seeing that a suggestion made you read something I did not write, again sorry. That was not my intention at all.

    Hope you can take it as a kindly suggestion, not imposed, not forced.

    And also, I hope you have a wonderful day :D
