I haven't read it, but I've seen enough of it to feel justified for saying this:
First of all, this is disgusting, and if you wish to argue with me on the whole "it's just a manga, it's not real" thing, then feel free, but that's not gonna change what I feel about this. I say the same about manga encouraging rape, abuse etc. Just because it's not real doesn't mean it's okay, and you can't say it won't encourage this kind of behaviour in people because of that. Simply showing something like this in such a positive and light-hearted image desensitizes people to the reality of it, which is that it's pedophilia, and it's wrong.
And secondly, if you think that this is okay because it's cute and bubbly, then at what point do you think it's gone too far? Is it when it becomes hentai instead of ecchi? Or when they adapt it into an anime? Or who knows, maybe it's too much once they decide to make a live action? The truth is that this is something that should never be represented as "romantic" or "cute" or "wholesome". If something like pedophilia is ever used in media, it should only be shown in a negative light, as a disgusting crime that is almost always forced upon the "child" by the "adult".
By child, I mean anyone who is under the legal age, and by adult I mean anyone who's significantly over the legal age.
This shouldn't even have a GL tag because this relationship isn't legal, so they can't even be called "lovers". Rather, a more suitable name for their roles is something like "predator" and "prey".
I don't really like the protagonist, her personality's incredibly annoying. Also, her train of thought, and the way her mind works is way too complex for a 5 year old, so it feels unrealistic. It would be better if she was a reincarnator or a transmigrator, so it could be believable.
I mean shes tecnically a five year old girl who happens to be somehow a child of a demon if were gonna add the fact that she red a book about her faith it kinda would add up cause somehow in my book demons tend to be smarter and stronger than an average person so yeah ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ its all made up fantasy.
But I just don't like him. It's not really a case of whether they're ready for romance or not. I'm not judging him as a potential love interest, I just personally hate him, I don't care if he's a good guy or a bad guy. I hate him and I hate their relationship.
Like, I can't...i-I just can't find ANYTHING inside myself that will like him
I share your personal hate for Alves.
Particularly speaking that kind of guy is just the worst when it comes together with romance. That is why I can't bear it if they end up together.
Nunnaly is such a strong and smart girl, so why does she considers herself inferior? Bitch, you are awesome.
And he just makes her feel worse about herself.
Yeah, I know, he saved her life and shit. Good guy and yadayada.
But love interest? Nope
May have spoilers from here on
I read in another comment that the reader was disappointed that she finished the novel and it had little to no romance at all.
If it is to be with Alvez, I am GLAD it had little to no romance at all.
This shit just gets more interesting and fucked up by the day.
Also, props to Giovinnetta for being a smart bitch in that scene. Wasn't expecting that from her.
