tl;dr dragonoid soulmate reincarnation au that starts off as brief, sweet, determined childcare and, after a LONG time lapse, develops into a reuniting of bonds that transforms into romantic love.At face value, the MC may be a summer flower child, but he's still intelligent despite being romantically oblivious, and the ML is a yandere tyrant, but with his corrupted upbringing, it all makes sense.I started out reading the manhwa and then jumped to the novel impatiently. I know many people have been claiming "g*ooming" and "shota", but this is NOT any of that. The MC and ml, in his youth, does not at ANY TIME entertain s*xual or romantic thoughts/feelings towards each other. In fact, with the mc's sheltered upbringing and underestimation of himself, it doesn't even compute with Abel that anyone could see him in that light so he never seeks it himself. And in fact, I think Karas' adult s*xual feelings towards Abel isn't even necessarily a want for intimacy in the beginning pique of interest so much as it is just a type of possessive need to mark what is his. Karas is so emotionally unintelligent that it's gonna take him a while to sort this sh*t out. So all of yallz who are scared of "g*ooming" or "shota", or want to claim that, GET OUTTA HERE and read something else. Stop trying to taint a heartbreakingly adorable prologue and satisfying idiots-to-lovers fiction. Also, I really enjoyed Yannie's translation on SpringOfRomance. They give you context for korean idioms and their translations are clearer than some official translations I've read (I'm looking at you, The Perks of Being a Villainess on Radish).
