Devil’s Warmth Chapter 12 Discussion

edit:My points about what makes it Interesting still stand but I no longer think it's heartwarming really. I get why the ML acts the way he does but it upsets me so I dropped it. Might read it later but meh. I still like the premise and the mc

so far this novel is very interesting and well written. Unlike a lot of stories where the MC is reincarnated, Bei Yao forgets her adult memories shortly after being reborn, but still recalls up to 3rd grade. But, she wrote down her memories before she forgot them (but because she is now a child again she can't read it all fully lol). This way the book avoids a common problem I find with these types of stories, the characters acting like children while having the soul of a grown adult. Or the MC acting both adult like and childish without rhyme or reason (like the author realized they were mentally 34 every few chapters). I like it a lot just for that. I also like how the ML truly has a physical disability, I know that sounds weird, but so often I read a cnovel with a character with a physical disability and either

1.) they get better (through either "luv uwu" or some miracle deus ex machina *cough* drug or treatment

2.) they were "Faking it" for some political reason or whatever (or they had one, got better and continued to pretend to have it for some reason)

3.) it's like something added on as an after thought and kinda fades throughout the story (this is true more so with mental uniquenesses, like someone on the autism spectrum). So anyway, the way this novel is going I don't think they're go in any of those routes and I'm happy. Being physical disabled isn't something unsightly and it's important to have a variety in characters.i feel like a lot of times it's used for "feels" then the author cops out later and makes them able-bodied. So far the author is also doing a good job of showing how emotionally vulnerable a young child who suddenly finds himself disabled might feel. He's not a jerk, but a hurt small child (5). The MC is also very likeable, because she forgot most of her past memories like I said, she isn't op, nor is it weird she's childlike. She just has a vague sense she should treat the ML well and she tries her best. If all goes well, this will prove to be a very well written heart-warming story. Looking forward to the rest!
