I can't deal with this.
- The main character doesn't look "younger than he is". He's not a thirty-year-old man who looks like he's 24. He's a college-age boy who looks like a kid in his freshman year of middle school. Do you know how absurd that is?
- The main character acts mature when it interests him. He can manage his own farm and maintain a productive work and play schedule without ever straying from the right path. He, who is not qualified for any job, not even part-time, by defining himself as a fool, takes the leadership of two older men to teach them how to manage a restaurant, provides daily agricultural supplies for the bussines and takes care of some abandoned children from a nearby farm. But he insists that he is s*upid and weak, because then the author can maintain the illusion that we are reading about a ten-year-old boy.
- The main character acts like he has a brain deficiency when it suits him. He illustrates to the locals about edible foods, ways of cooking, and even teaches them to make jewelry that no one in that world had ever thought of (Earrings? What primitive society would think of piercing the skin for adornment ?! We do it in 21st century because we are civilized). But when he meets a nobleman on the street, he not only does not know the meaning of "prostration", but also dares to ask the authority what it is for and if he really needs the commoners to show him respect. Because any human being in this world of ours is incapable of understanding what prostration is. No one thinks that if he is in a medieval world and meets a soldier who orders him to kneel, he should obey so as not to be executed under the strict laws of the hierarchical medieval society.
- I am unable to see what is interesting about the protagonist. He doesn't seem smart to me, he doesn't seem funny to me. I don't think he's curious or that he wants to do something interesting with his life. It is a worldly existence maintaining a worldly life.
- I am unable to see what is interesting about the partner of the protagonist. He is a walking armor that does not stand out at all. I don't know about his tastes. I don't know about his interests. I don't know what he want to do with his life. I don't know what he see in the protagonist (Unless all his incentive is that he can legally touch a child)
- I cannot dedicate an hour of my life just to read how the protagonist takes the eggs, cracks the eggs, beat the eggs, to make an omelette.
- Why does the author bother to explain every step of the omelette-making process to me, but can't explain every step of the process in falling in love with a stranger? Is making omelettes really that fascinating? Is it really that a straight man falling in love with a giant man is something so irrelevant?
