Pedophile Male Lead

BRO HELL NAH HE CAME BACK IN TIME PLUS HE WAS 20 WHEN THEY MET CUH I THOUGHT HE WAS ATLEAST 15-16 WHILE SHE WAS 12-13. JUST LOOK OLD AF, TURNS OUT HE WAS OLD AF.

WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE GORGEOUS ARTSYLES THAT GOT THE SHITTIEST ML I'M DYING

It’s the authors fuckass choice. WHY are they so obsessed with teenage girls being in such horrendous relationships. I KNOW you’re not a 17 year old writing this, clearly the author is in her early or late 20s. It’s just as predatory as a seinen or shounen author sexualising young girls atp

Btw age gap may be worse than 7 years. It’s anywhere between 7-9 years

Isnt this supposed to be historical or at least historically inspired? Women used to be married as early as 14 to men 5 to 10 years older. Not unusual at all. Don't get your panties in a twist just because we don't do that anymore .. fortunately.

Slavery was also permissible historically. So was marital rape. So was banning women from work. So was sacrificial ceremonies. Interesting isn’t it a modern authors criticise them all but only choose to glorify perophilia. Just like you are

Also the age of marriage varied between culture. For heavily patriarchal and religious cultures, young girls as early as 9 indeed were married off. They still are to this day. However much misinformation exists to the age of marriage in a lot of Western European history which is what most of these manhwas are based on. The underclass and ‘poorer’ population did not marry of teens to men 10 years older. The age of marriage for both men and women was actually very close and in their early 20s. Wealthier people had more varied age gaps because of families wanting to form unions, connections or promising their unborn children to each other. It was mostly younger girls affected, but it could also mean a younger boy having to marry an older woman.

How long ago was long ago? You often hear people saying their mother met their father at 15 and 30 in 1990 say. Are you saying 30 years was a ‘different time’? The reality is, you are coping, as many people are. You enjoy this ship, clearly, and others, don’t want to acknowledge the sheer number predatory men that exist, who to this day would date or marry much younger girls if given the chance.

There is nothing historically accurate about this story. It is the author’s wet dream to have this all powerful male lead who’s feared by everyone and is absolutely in love with a girl 7 years or more younger than him who he can’t even imagine drinking alcohol. Who he met and became infatuated with at 10 or 11. Get real

Are we reading the same story? I did not see ML lusting after any children. Pedophilia where? I just see an age gap.

History was shitty but it doesn't get any better if we pretend it wasn't. Let's stop judging fiction the same way as we would real atrocities. I dont mind putting fictional characters through the wringer.. that's what stories are for.

He met her when she was 10 and clearly fell in love with her before she reached adulthood. Read it again yourself, I’m not falling for glorified misogyny and pedophilia

You don’t need to jump hurdles to justify random shit authors created for no real purpose by slapping fiction on it. In fact, the story plot line would not be different if she was actually closer to his age. The author just decided their male lead would be magnificently better if his love interest was a child he watched grow up. My words aren’t going to deserialise this shit. If you enjoy it, good on you. Clearly he’s hot enough that it makes you want to overlook it

You must be fun at parties.
