I think he’s older now after the most recent time-skip in chapter 25. A four-year age gap is nothing as long as both parties are adults (and no grooming was in the situation before adulthood, which there wasn’t in this case).
i guess so but still lowkey their dynamic feels very not natural or like forced in a way compared to kyle lol
I feel like I’m a neutral party in this since I’m not a fan of either Kyle or Narkiss.
Kyle just has a one-sided crush with no backbone to pursue the MC. I know it’s purposeful from the author, but there really isn’t any compatibility between Kyle and the MC. Just because he likes her and they’re closer in age seems to be the main votes for why people want to pair them together, which I’m not a fan of overall because he did technically deceive her in the beginning by choosing not to tell her about his real position in the knighthood. It’s a form of lying through omission. He had plenty of chances to tell her, but he chose not to for like a year (or two, maybe) before it was revealed by an outside party.
As for Narkiss, he’s the typical tsundere-type lead who also has no visible backbone to pursue the MC (even now when he’s older). I know that will change as the story progresses. The only difference from Kyle is the power structure, pride, and arrogance of Narkiss. Like most MLs, Narkiss is super jealous and envious of anyone who has the MC’s attention. While I’m a sucker for white-haired characters, his personality is pretty much cut and paste of others from every story out there.
Now, I do really enjoy reading stories possessive MLs, but usually only if the MCs are getting a lot of love and attention at the same time. It’s cute how they seek their lovers’ affections all the time and the love is reciprocated.
Sorry for the long reply, haha. I just wanted to share my take on all of this. Feel free to ignore!
what are u even saying?!?! DONT BE SORRY! i read thru all that and yeah I get ur point actually, i just thought kyle had more of a chance for a natural romance to occur since they are already closer while with Narkiss (altho the trope is good and personally, im into it too) felt very stiff and like not natural (idk how else to explain) but maybe it could change, who knows.
Anyways, the main point is, dont be sorry for sharing ur opinion, i appreciate it!!! much love
Aww, thanks for the love! I usually get scolded for long replies. Thanks for explaining your thoughts as well!
isnt narkiss like 15 and MC is 19??? Like just make kyle the ML pls!
