EXACTLYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
13 n 17, n grooming is when you are including sexual innuendos too from the start
Oh my God the things that pedophiles will say to defend themselves makes me so sick.
Don't even try, their brain is too rotted to comprehend such a simple thing. This moronic OP also thinks he raised her after all lmfao
questions on grooming and pedophilia are very complicated when it comes to these return/transmigration things and generally i am more critical of them however they did not interact romantically in any way until she was of age physically, she never displayed any childish/behaviour of her being a child since mentally she isnt one
also raised her???? are we reading the same thing? they interacted as colleagues in the same academy sometimes, thats literally all. he had more power than her not bc he was older but bc he was a duke and she was just the daughter of a knight
He was literally her guardian at the academy. He also constantly displayed that he was attracted to her when she was like 12 and he was 18. There are so many panels where he's obviously attracted to her. They do the little glow in the wide eyes and the like oh gasp she's so pretty faces that we all know. She was clearly groomed.
He was 18 and she was 11 when they met. This is super weird. This is some grooming nonsense. I'll overlook it because it's such a common trope in Korean media and I'd have nothing to read if I refuse... But I'm going to point it out.
However! However, if the author pulls the trope where the super intelligence, super high EQ, incredibly perceptive, and politically astute female lead doesn't notice that the male lead has incredibly obvious feelings for her I'm going to drop this. This woman is way too smart not to notice when a man has such obvious feelings for her.
