as much as i LOVELOVELOOOVEEE this story, whenever i see tia and perez interact romantical...

Gurl honestly fix your thinking Tia didn’t SEXUALLY abuse the little Perez in her mind. That’s like out of the pedophile range. What are you talking about? Tia just came back to her past self (her young self). She didn’t manipulate Perez into loving her. She was just helping Perez because she wanted Perez to helped her when he became the crown prince or the emperor for her ambition to be the lombardi matriarch. Yeah she’s an old soul but she’s not a pervert. The heck. There is no grooming here

But there's no grooming here tho? Their interactions is normal.. she just helped him once and that's it, we don't even see Perez much when he was still kid too, r we even reading the same manhwa?

please reread my comment before assuming entirely new things that have nothing to do with what i said.
first of all, i think it would be good if everyone could learn the difference between pedophile and pedocriminal : a pedophile is someone attracted to a child/children whereas a pedocriminal is a pedophile who acted on their impulse and sexually abused children.
the difference is important as tia IS being a pedophile (she's not A pedophile, she is BEING one just in this specific case) because she is an adult when she states being attracted to perez while he is a child, and that is fact. she is NOT a pedocriminal and i have never said anything of the sort.
i also never said she sexually abused him in her mind or that she made him be attracted to her what the hell are u talking about ???? you are just extrapolating my words and making stuff up to be mad about. im sorry but im trying to have a real conversation here. i understand your concerns about my point of view but sometimes it is okay to accept that something you like has some flaws.
the grooming example was about the broader genre, NOT about this story which is why i stated that outside of her being "seduced" by him as a kid, their dynamic is very endearing and could be romantic.
i talked about this example bc those kind of storylines where there IS accidental grooming makes the kind of comments tia says about kid perez acceptable to the public, which they should not be. im also not shaming anyone liking this story, as i do like it myself. i just would like people to stop and think about why they were okay with a 60 something year old woman (yes sixty at least, she is on her third lifetime) calling a ten year old seductive.
once again, my problem is that she states multiple times being "seduced" by a 10/12 year old kid. this is a fault of the AUTHOR and of society, not of the character.

yes, as i stated in my comment (please reread it if you misunderstood, which would be understandable as i wrote quite a lot), the grooming is an example about the broader genre where those kind of things happen often, NOT about this story. i said this bc the problem with this trope is how popular it is Andi how it normalises adult women having weird romantic thoughts about young boys (which IS the case in this novel/manhwa).
tia does not groom perez and i havent said anything of the sort. however the author does write her thinking she's being "seduced" by him while he is as young as ten years old. this kind of stuff would not be acceptable if the trope i criticised (about the accidental grooming and stuff) wasnt so popular and helped normalise this kind of moments. english is not my first language so i apologise for the confusion.

Pedophilia is an erotic preference. She is not sexually and pevertedly attractive to Perez. Are you analyzing things over a bit? And that is far way from grooming you keep mentioning. From the very start, she has no intention of being in love with Perez. She just helped him because she saw his situation similar to hers and if possible, she wanted him to help her in the future. She even wanted to not be so close to him because she knew it would be troublesome for her plans. But because of the circumstances, she had to be his child companion. And that was it. Did she separate Perez from his support group? No, Did she threat Perez, heck no. Did she force Perez to be with her? No. I’m not defending this manhwa because this is good. But gurl stop over analyzing stuff. Stop using words carelessly.

i am not using words carelessly, and this is not overanalysing. i do not know if you've read my other replies but if youre interested you should as i went more in details about what i meant in my first comment.
first of all, yes the first definition of pedophilia is sexual attraction towards children, however nowadays it is also used as an umbrella term to describe any kind of romantic attraction towards children, which was obviously what i meant. (i say it's obvious what i meant bc tia never has any sexual thoughts towards him so logically i wouldnt be commenting on it if it didnt even exist in the first place WHICH IT DOESNT.)
i never said that tia groomed perez, the example was about a broader subject and i stated afterwards that it was not about this manhwa. why i mentioned that "accidental grooming" is because the fact that it is popular is the reason why such moments between tia and perez are played as comical or downplayed by the public. i will state it again : no tia does not groom perez. i am sorry if what i said could be interpreted this way.
the characer of tia is not predatory towards perez, however the author does makes her be attracted to perez when he is a child and she is an adult and then downplays it by implying it is his fault as "he is the one seducing her" (useless reminder : he is a child and cannot "seduce" anyone). the fault comes not from the character but from the author, who could've just not made their character say such things. it is a flaw that is engraved in the story, and a fact, not an overanalysation.
