This is a great story if you like slice of life and a slow build romance. (Make sure to build up chapter updates and the story won't feel so slow.) All the characters feel like they have depth to them, even the background characters like the mailman. It's great to see a story emphasis different language and culture instead of treating a continent like it's all the same. It's also a breath of fresh air to have nobility who truly behave like adults with real responsibilities rather than foils.The kid stage of the story, which I usually to dislike, was extremely well done. The ML felt like a little boy (like the author has delt with children IRL), and through the kid arc you fully understand his personality and how he fell for the FL. It gives context for what comes later!The FL is sweet but a little confusing. She apparently was a modern person but her memories of that are extremely vague. She remembers "the story" but it's not clear why she remembers that well but not the rest of her past life. Rather than saying she fluctuates between an adult & child, it's more like she is a child with the spotty memories of an adult who is recovering from extreme neglect. If you look past this one quirk, she is quite likable.It's my hope she won't be one of those FL who is so totally dominated by "the story" she can't see what's in front of her. But even if she ends up going that way, the author seems good enough to make it entertaining!
