He’s technically older than her , he is over 700 years olds . I get grooming is a big no go but she didn’t raise him since he was a kid she had like 1 year with him where she simply acted as a provider , he clearly regained his memories and ancient power after the egg and grew to his correct looking age . In the sense of him being a long living adult shifter . And of course he made choices on his own that she never argued about . The labeling of everything as a grooming situation is difficult to take seriously . I knew a friend who was 5 when her next door crush was 5 and she had like a book on how to “perfect “ him . She wrote plans in it on how she would become his everything and change him over the years to be the perfect boyfriend . Is it grooming if they’re the same age ? They are both 30 now and married and he says stuff like “I wouldn’t be who I am today without her …” and I’m not sure what to say . Is it grooming if she planned it ? They were the same age ? What’s the issue with making someone into something they could be , that just happens to fit the bill for your personal attraction ?? I feel grooming isn’t about love . grooming :
Grooming is when:
•Someone builds trust or manipulates another person (often younger, less experienced, or more vulnerable)
•To gain control, exploit, or create extreme dependency Especially in sexual, emotional, or abusive contexts. they provide a safe space to abuse them later and is usually a manipulative force in action to create these situations .
Grooming has a negative attachment . If there is no negative attachment, you’re just creating problems when you don’t need to. The world is full of genocide , human trafficking , rape , murders , fucked up elites controlling our economy . But you’re over here trying to label a kind and bold character as a groomer for choosing someone centuries older than her … because she brought him some stuff and fed him ??? In a made up story with fake people .
Yeah she clearly planned his dependency for selfish evil needs !!! Girl get a life .
asking me to get a life when you're the one writing this long ass paragraph just because I don't agree with you is crazy. I stand by what I said and you can't make me change that, just because he's canonically what "700 years older" lmao
I ain't reading all that
Writing long paragraphs doesn’t mean I don’t have a life . I’m a writer , I write for a living . I’m married and simply enjoy reading . I’ve read all types of stories since I was a young teenager , now that I’m 31 I still enjoy it . You don’t have to agree with me . I just felt like correcting your narrative of grooming in this . It’s just not accurate and it had to be said that there are bigger issues . I literally see full blow like porn manhwa about daughter raping and crazy crap on here in the basically hentai scope . That fits grooming and vile behavior, not this . This story is romantic child’s play . That’s all . My goal was to have you re-evaluate your narrative on the grooming based on facts not opinion .
not once did I mention grooming on my original comment. I said that for me he looked like a child / her younger sibling pretty much which is why I didn't like him as the male lead. if you read my comment again, I didn't mean any harm. I just said I didn't like how their relationship developed, I even praised the potential of the story. if you like this, then good for you but avoid overthinking things. its not that deep.
Fair . I do believe you’re right and I must have read into that wording a bit too much . In that case I’m very sorry I started shit. I’m a big believer in narrative and context , but that has nothing to do with you or how I phrased things to you . For that I’m sorry . I can see that you meant it more that they seemed more like a younger sibling and nothing more . I read into it a bit much . thanks for explaining anyway . I appreciate it . Tbh my fav character is the soldier physically but like the blue haired hottie with all the info is serving . You got a favorite guy in this ?
came back not to read but to check the comments. I'm pretty sure I dropped this manhwa 2 years ago cuz I saw a spoiler that she ends up with the pet and that really upset me. glad that I'm not the only one who feels that way. the plot was really promising and had potential, which is why I would've preferred if she ended up with nobody rather than having to settle for that pet. I know he's a shifter but still... he's a child in our eyes wasn't he
