Omg yes! Most of these stories where they put an adult in the body of a child, they just have intellect but the emotional maturity of an actual infant. most of the time I don't even know why they do this trope especially with this story like the story would still make complete sense if not better if they were normal kids.
i've read a bunch of stories like this and im actually pretty fond of these but in this case specifically they don't even have the intellect of an adult??? this is what's pissing me off :/ i get it if they act immature/innocent to pretend in front of others but that's not their case :/
except they weren't adults they were teenagers at most, they were both in high school.
^^ that and they’ve been through trauma after being reborn in this new world, who knows, maybe their mental state changed. Or maybe since they are in the body of children, their mind still has child-like instincts
Yeah! since they barely ever mention the reincarnation and they use no knowledge of their past life, not names, education, memories of family and friends, nothing except polite speech, so there's no point in making that a thing if all that it adds to the plot is, "they're mature and use manners with everyone" when the mature aspect could be because they had to grow up and become more mature to survive rurahel mentally, and the manners part could be them being accustomed to speaking formally to her as well, in order to get less of a beating. And even if the excuse was that it was a thing they were used to in their past lives, being 5, if they were taught not to speak that way since birth, they'd already be used to using impolite speech, so it's been too long for something like it being a habit in their past lives to affect them now, since they're old enough to have adapted to their new lives anyways, and all everyday habits like speech, manners, and all that would come from their new lives now. So really, the reincarnation adds nothing to the plot, and the little that it does add to it could work even without it. It's unnecessary, really, though I really do hope they use it for something because i like it when, in isekai stories, the past life is actually a plot element.
Yes exactly!!
aren't they grown adults??? why act like they're actually kids? this is kinda annoying tbh
