Lmao and the worse part for me too is that I swore they made it clear in the past chapters that Arthur didn't really find anyone attractive and/or was attracted to anyone because he felt weird being a child in appearance, but an adult at mind. Now they completely ignore that and it's annoying.
righttttttt. it would've made more sense if he's just fond of her in a little sister way given his mental age. bro is a certified lover boy, certified--
girl was a damsel in distress right from the moment they met too. i thought she was supposed to be smart and strong bcs she's literally the heir of elves, but nah she's a walking disaster.
i'm usually not the type to mind love interests but it's so annoying here. how many times does mc have to sacrifice himself and not mind his family who worries for him just to save tessia? he drops everything at the sight of her being in slightest danger, and his growth became quite stagnant since reuniting w/ her.
while there were a lot of problems and incidents that need to investigated, he just kept helping tessia in assimilating the beast will (which just betrays them afaik so wtf even is the point). i just don't get the damn logic in establishing he's strong and calculated then his emotions take over once tessia is involved (not even thinking abt other ppl and his family smh). i can't remember why i dropped this in the past so i read it again and now i fucking remember why lol
