I mean more than romantic feelings for her, she was the only person in the entire world who was kind to him so to him she is his everything. He is not fantasizing about her romantically right. He just really really cares for her. It is definitely different. As they become older he might romantically fall for her, then it will seem normal and gradual. But for now, she is his special person.

I don’t see anything wrong with 5+ thou? I mean over 20 years is a huge stretch but my parents are 5 years apart and if stories had the main couple be 1-4 years apart I feel like it’d have a more academy or childhood friend aspect that would divert the plot I mean idk but I’m personally okie with 5-10 years apart

I'm fine with 5+ or even 10+ ... IF the character are over 25. When one character is 5 and the other is 10 or older it's nothing but creepy. And even if the younger girl is "mentally an adult" (which just makes the age gap bigger, honestly) there is still so much emphasis on how *cute* and *childlike* and *adorable* they are.
why are the age differences in these kinda stories always so slightly off? i mean, it's mostly visual, but sometimes the difference in ages do be a lil...
like i feel like the girls always look too young for these near/fully teen boys to be crushing on them. but with this story, it's even weirder bc she reincarnated & still has the mind of an adult so like...
but lemme not think about that anymore & just think about the cuteness lmao
