I’m Just a Mob Priest, but Since I Realized This World is an Otome Game, I’ll Train the Heroine. Chapter 17 Discussion

Having read a bit of this so far, I think it's decent. (Edit, no longer think it's even decent.)

At first, I agree with one review where saying they're not a lo*icon is suspicious on its own. I think this probably applies more to the writer than the character.

I say that because, similar to another review, I'm not all that fond of stories where a female lead is raised since a baby to be a daughter, but falls in love with the "father." I don't think it's immoral, but it doesn't really tickle my fancy either.

However, the difference here is the actual age gap. In those stories, the father figure is actually more than old enough to be their actual father. While here, they're only 8 years apart (he is 18 while she's 10 at the start of the story). In 5 years, the typical age many stories claim to be adults in their other worlds, he'll only be 23. I've seen stories with similar, or larger age gaps that don't seem out of place. So far, he hasn't shown any interest in her "as a woman." The only thing I find questionable is "his" description of her as a goddess.

And because of that description, this is why I think it's more of an issue of the writer. I wouldn't be surprised if the writer is actually an old guy lusting after some underage girl (s) he's seen or something, or worse a man after his own daughter, pretending it's she's the one making the advances. And this story is just self insertion fantasy. That's the vibe I get from this and a number of similar stories to that "S-rank daughter" story which I did read a little, a while back, before it dropped it.

update:

Having read further, I've gotten tired of it. My biggest issue stems from the writer making EVERYONE view the female lead as beautiful as a goddess. I guess I saw this coming and was why I didn't think of the male lead's description of her being an issue (since he's only being like everyone else.

The reason this is an issue now goes back to what I said about how I think it's a self insertion fantasy. It's like I can imagine the writer is a doting father that think because he sees his daughter as beautiful as a goddess, everyone else will also see his daughter the same way. Compound with that, he's also lusting after his own daughter.
