She can't just "Grow up" without doing anything. She dies when she's like 16 or 17, that's not being grown up. Growing up without fixing shit just makes her dead, lol
op obviously meant it as a time skip. they don't have to make her 15+ immediately but she's been 5 to 7 for a while now and personally, it's kind of uncomfortable as a reader to see all these romances surrounding her. i get your pov but author has already established her character over the past 90 chapters. i was hoping it would somewhat progress with a timeskip too like "hamefura"
We'd miss info in-between and I feel like the author isn't dragging it. Readers are just impatient and want to see the skip like it's going to make the story more engaging if she's older or something. Like I understand the romance, but you have to understand a 10 year age different in her time period is normal and that most in that time looked at women from very young hoping they'd mature quick. 40 year old widows marrying 18 year old aristo women.
also the boys are mostly over 12 right? isnt that... the time to start having an interest? it's not sexually so it's pretty legit I think
plus it's shoujo :D
Honestly this was never about the romances but that works too lmao. I meant I'm cringing at this point because she's literally still 5 years old but she thinks and acts like an adult and everyone's just cool with that and the overused "everyone loves her trope". It got old to me lol
I genuinely want to see some personal struggle for character growth and not just everyone defending her
Bruh when is she gonna grow up lmfao i'm over her child phase
