It's frustrating. I'm not a fan of infantilisation, especially when it makes no damn sense and goes as far as it does in this novel.There's no good reason for MC to comply with anything these utterly brainless people want from him, and that's the biggest downfall – everyone seems mentally challenged.People suddenly can't understand that someone from thousands of years ago isn't like the ones in their time?That someone who fought in endless wars, one that caused the end of the world (as they knew it), isn't an uwu innocent little cutie you have to constantly monitor and treat like a 2 years old toddler?They created uber-futuristic technology but can't understand something so basic?MC's motivation, why he does whatever they want, why he lets himself get treated in such a degrading manner, is, at best, complete bs.There actually wasn't even a clear reason, he just does because the plot needs him to.It's a damn shame because the CP is quite unique, I would have loved to see how they fix and progress their relationship, why ML did what he did, etc.Sadly the rest is so frustrating and senseless that it kills the interest I had in the couple.To be completely honest, the whole thing reads like something meant for younger teens, not (older) adults, so maybe I'm just too far outside the targeted audience.You should probably trust the other reviewers more than me if you generally are into this type of story.
