The Tyrant Won’t Let Me Go Chapter 12 Discussion

I really, really wanted to read this because the prologue was interesting, but I can't take it anymore.

The childhood arc is extremely disappointing. It feels like the author had a bunch of ideas, some of which contradict or don't play off of each other well, but decided to just force them all in anyway.

Firstly is how MC is treated. She's supposed to be 12, and from how she's treated we can assume this is a world where 12yo are children (unlike other worlds where they're essentially small adults). It makes sense for her to act like an adult since she technically is one, but it makes less sense that everyone outside the orphanage treats her like one too. The King offers her a job instead of adopting her or taking her in as a maid, the knight/tutor (?) teaching the prince treats her like a rival instead of an annoying brat, etc. And speaking of that guy, why is the scene in c12 exactly like a high school villainess bullying the heroine scene? This is a grown ass man with his own life and job, and you expect me to believe it's not OOC for him to decide to chase out a lil brat because she made the prince not like him anymore?

While reading, I really couldn't shake off the feeling that I was reading a fanfic by one of my classmates back in high school. You know the type, MC is young but treated the same as all the adults, and the adults somehow all think like teenagers (usually including a reasonable old man who somehow doesn't think it's weird and illegal to be in a serious relationship with a 15yo). This kind of thing may be fun to read for teenagers and younger, but for older folk like me you may just find it exhausting.

There's too many plot holes to enjoy as a serious read, and it's not entertaining enough for a light read.
