When I read the reviews I was going into this thinking the ML would be a massive dickhead, but actually... He's not even that bad.He's a tsundere, alright. Yes, he's controlling and overbearing, but it's not that there isn't any character development at all. His overprotectiveness to MC came from a caring heart. There are people around him who keep reminding him to communicate and to not keep treating MC like a child. And he learned and grew, just like any normal human being. He pampered MC but also wouldn't indulge him too much. He was angry when MC wouldn't take care of himself well, when MC wasn't eating and sleeping regularly. MC was thr kind of genius who would forget everything else when he was focusing on doing something. ML reprimanded him a lot for this. He's actually really sweet and soft-hearted. Their dynamic is really cute.The age gap can make you feel a bit weird tho if you are uncomfortable with the theme. But it def didn't reach at the level of g*ooming, I don't think so. It's not s*xual at first. ML is more like a dad to MC tbh and he treated MC like a child too at first. Especially when MC is so innocent and naive...Having said that, I still decided to drop this novel because it feels like the story is getting too dragged out and boring for me. I've read probably like 10 other novels like this one before, so that's why. And I'm not really fond of naive protagonist even tho I really love the ML. Which is very rare for me tbh... MC is a half elf half dwarf and that's actually a really interesting premise but he's getting too OP and I can't really feel excited to what's coming in the story anymore since it looked like he already basically mastered everything.
