Kizuna's Topics (720)

Same buddy I'm so sad they aren't endgame... I felt like the author introduced Daniel too late to the plot for me to actually give a shit

But Ferdinand is not the ML so far in the novel, I don't know where you got that from. The noble family that adopted her expects her to marry her foster brother since he lacks a lot comparing to her if he wants to become the Lord. So, for now, I am okay with her to if possible stay alone or with someone her age in the world she is living in, and that would be Lutz and not Ferdinand because 20 with a girl in her 10's is a no. Regardless of how old her mental age is.

I finished reading on Syosetsu.
They also don't get engaged until the very end of the novel, when she's a bit older. In any case they'll live a very long life, and the age gap stops being an issue when her physical age finally catches up to her mental age.

Okay, so it seems I will dislike this future. I really wanted them to stay as friends or even as business partners, not as a couple, regardless of the reasons, that Myne has no choice in the matter.

My issue with characters with older mental age is as long as the person does not look at their potential lovers in a weird sexual manner in the new world it does not bother me, that is something I've like especially in reading isekais or even transmigrations stories. But not with this, because regardless of that she is still in a body of a child and he is an adult. Even before she died, she never had the "normal" life of an adult, regarding romantic love, or a relationship of the same nature. So she is a child in every aspect, except her love for books.

I wish she did not end with him at all, because I dislike those huge age gaps, (MY pov) IS that is way too unbalanced and that the power dynamics that are already huge for women in the society of this story to overcome. It seems I will only read until this unfortunate thing (to me as a reader that started from the web novel) occurs.

Thansk for confirming.

Uhm...Well, I don't think I'll change your mind but here's my two cents as a reader who actually enjoys their relationship.

Myne has a childish personality---but she's not a child. She has the disposition of an adult, and she proves it more and more often the further you read. I'm the same way, I have a childish personality, but I still have the disposition of an adult. We're both capable of making consensual, rational decisions that children are not able to. The thing about her not being experienced in love doesn't really matter. It's sort of heavily implied that Myne is aromantic/asexual. She can appreciate beauty but she doesn't necessarily want romance in her life. Likewise, Ferdinand is also very aro/ace himself. --- You can think of their engagement as just simply a contractual title? They're very much still the same people they were before the engagement. And like I said, it happens at the very end of the book when Myne is older.

On a different note, Myne and Ferdinand have a pretty balanced relationship as equals. For a variety of reasons later on, she definitely outranks him. But he makes up for everything she lacks, and she also makes up for everything he lacks. They probably would've died without each other on many occasions. I think the fact that they can have a business-like relationship out of pure respect for each other is pretty amazing.
He never coerces her into anything, he convinces her through rationality. Likewise she also helps him grow and develop as a person. The very last few chapters of the novel really made me cry, because I could tell he really treasures her as simply "family".
It's not like he could adopt her, she was already adopted by Sylvester. She also has come to treasure him as family too. --- For two people who were deprived of family, they found comfort in being supportive of each other. The more I read, the more I was convinced, that Myne could not have ended up with anyone else. They have a symbiotic, healthy relationship.

If you can overcome the fact that the marriage is just a title on paper, they're really just two platonic friends / roommates who decided to be together.

you didn't even suffer to read 677chapters and you only judge becoz of 2 arcs. Good for you, if you binge read this you'll have a different opinion.

Romance is non existent in the earlier chapters of her life becoz she doesn't think about it. Myne is busy as it is. The duchy has given her a workload you won't think a child can handle. Romance only enters when he started to miss or long for him (you only regret when you miss somebody), she even left his commoner family in a Duchy preparing for an invasion in order to save this guy.

and I can tell you, he was ready to marry off Myne to anyone becoz he was her guardian. He just started to regret when they were apart and that was when Myne is already 13 (3rd yr at Royal Academy). He never think of her as potential marriage candidate becoz in p4-1 he already give way to Wilfred, Sylvester's child.

People are allowed to dislike something about the story, regardless of the number of chapters one read. Whether is 67 chapters, 2 arcs or even 13 volumes of the light novel that I've read so far.


I said my piece, I don't like the AGE GAP, and I did not try to make anyone see the things my way. I simply don't like it. He will be an older man and marry a child/teen however you see fit. I appreciate the efforts and how much Ferdinand helps Myne, my bottom line is marrying him, with romance or not, is unfair (to me).

And lastly, further spoiling me is not helping, when I did not ask for more. I wanted to know who she would end with, I found out, did not like, explained my reasons and that's it. I did not request further details to support people liking this path.

Please accept that not everyone will be down with this ending. I can "understand" the why, but still dislike it with my all.

Not suuure why I still get updated on this feed, but I think your feelings of discomfort towards age gap marriage is fair, and that's your prerogative, but...

I just want to correct on that they don't get /married/, they simply get engaged.
Just like how Myne was once engaged to Wilfried. They cannot actually marry until she is of age, which in that world is also 18.

So Ferdinand is not marrying a teen, they're only betrothed.

Sorry for the bother. I had not expected that anyone would try to reply to a comment you/we wrote after almost 3 months. And thanks for the clarification regarding her marital? status.

It is really that thing (huge age gaps) that bothers me regardless of the genre in manga/manhwa/webtoon.

its even worse if you went past 677 the pre-part 6 parts. The time loop thing (thread of destiny). Where she needs to save him in order for her to survive. By this point author already clarified they're literal soulmates in that world.

expect it, this is a reincarnation type of stories where Gods are involve and such. Age gaps don't matter if Ferdinand already met her when he was 6.

you are already into the ride when the author introduce you to isekai genre. The very first chapter introduce you to death, Gods and magic, a loop of some kind between Urano and Myne.

off course this type of thing won't suit you. Everything in this modern world is very instant unlike the liberal concepts before (waiting for the right time). So yeah that might be your case.

Its not always the guy become instantly be head over heels for you. You must earned that. Also the you also have to earned that for the guy vice versa. Thats how real mutual relationships works.

this genre in japan is technically r15-16. In shows you watch this will tackle some dark info about society. there is depictions of barbarism, war, slavery, in somewhat caste system world in the novel. The depiction if violence is kinda censored in a way younger readers that read this won't be shock to much (like when someone die, you become a magic stone or something). So if you can succumb to that its really better for you to stop. This is not like Novels who are disneyfied to boost sales.

Can you stop??

I've been reading enough manga/novels and watched enough animes for 2 decades, I KNOW those. I chose and do not like age gaps and they do matter FOR ME.

Do you feel happy now? Did you get better at anything while trying without me asking to convince me to like and accept this disturbing factor??? Learn to read, the person, me, said "I DON'T LIKE HUGE AGE GAPS". I said, I understand the setting and why this can happen, but still dislike it. Don't speak for me about what I should accept or not in a story, you are not me. I have been patient while You have been rude since you first replied to my comment (3 months late by the way), and learn that your opinion is not representative of the whole population, people have preferences and this is not mine.

I refrain to further engage with the likes of you, is not worth it.
