Exactly though. MC had no feelings of romance or literally anything of the sort for paljae when he was in his child form. Like absolutely none at all. Didn’t even cross his mind. It was only when he grew more into his adult form and when paljae was being more open with his feelings towards MC did he then start to truly think about that kinda thing.
Their argument is, since Ryeong 'raising' Paljae, that would be so wrong a.k.a gross to fall for Paljae's courting.
I mean, isn't Ryeong clearly said (chap 2) they're friends? Ryeong tired of being the elder figure of sons and apprentices. Now he just want a companion, that is a friend. A figure that is an equal of him. Ryeong IS NOT raising Paljae, but fill the role of a friend that tell his amnesiac friend the way to live. I know this manhwa didn't use a simple daily language, but damn, reading comprehension is a thing you know.
they’re kinda right though. i can’t give you an exact example or time stamp as to when or who wrote those type of comments but there were people who were saying that they thought MC was grooming ML or smth of that nature (even though that’s not the case at all), which made them uncomfortable or just leaving them not knowing how to feel about the book’s plot.
Theyre not right. Just because many people said something doesn’t make it true. One person asked if it was pedophilia because they hadn’t read the story in a while and would not be reading anything containing pedophilia/grooming. People blew that comment ridiculously out of proportion and made it such a big deal. Like the original commenter here and the person responding to me.
Gatekeeping this frrrrr. Omfg.
People learned the word pedo and grooming and decides to run with it without knowing the true meaning of these words. SINCE WHEN DID MC GROOMED ML TO BE HIS LOVER? He didn't even felt ANYTHING for him until ml showed feelings for him as well. Since when did mc became a pedo??? DID HE LIKED HIM WHEN JE WAS A CHILD???? OMFG idiots
