The Nudity Made Me Angry

by LazyReviewer
2 years ago

Rating: 4.0 / 10.0

To start with, I only cared to review this because I saw the other reviews here and thought "I don't remember that when I read it last year (or maybe 2 years ago?)." So I read from the beginning again, and boy, was I surprised! (Oh, and I'll also review this on its other merits.)

But even back then, I got genuinely angry over the sudden nudity and sex. I say sudden because it really is. Had I known, I wouldn't have read it (and it wasn't tagged that way where I read it). But now I'm invested in the characters, and I don't like leaving characters I get invested in. It leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

So what about the "cradle robbing" comment? Is that accurate? No... until in a remarkable bit of awful writing and pure incompetence, it becomes a conditional yes. So what happened?

As best as I can tell, the author tried to increase the drama, and did so unnaturally, in ways I've seen done in hundreds of poorly written fanfiction.

Technically, the main character, Aldo, does fall in love before he remembers

that he met Flora 9 years before. All memories of this village before that were about the flowers, and someone he doesn't remember at all telling him about flower meanings.

This means, for all intents and purposes, one adult meets another adult and falls in love with her. That's the "no" part.

But then, a chapter later, because it seems the author wanted to dramatize the affection Aldo has for Flora, Aldo says he fell in love with her when

they met the first time 9 years earlier .

This, of course, is a complete contradiction. Either all the setup in the first chapter of Aldo being driven by

the fear of going hungry and forgetting Flora existed

is wrong... or this one throwaway line that accidentally turns Aldo into a pedophile is the author's intention. Obviously it was a mistake since one line shouldn't outweigh several chapters of build-up. But still, to think this mistake wasn't caught by the editor. Anyway, that's where it becomes a "conditional yes", but again, it reads more like poor writing than author's intention.

Another indicator this was a mistake in writing, due to the author wanting to add drama, is that the author does something similar a few chapters later for a different subject, where Flora said she didn't tell her parents

she was with Aldo overnight....

You see, it was her parents that encouraged her

to go with him and left them on their own. Her parents already know,

...but the author wanted a dramatic moment, and so the author, forgetting what they wrote a few chapters earlier, wrote in a contradiction for the sake of drama.

Artificial drama like that is a mark of amateur writing, and seeing as how the author is regularly making these mistakes to increase drama (with large implications in one case as of chapter 16), I will confidently claim that the line that makes Aldo a pedo is a sign of bad writing and not the author's intention.

Now, the reverse of this scenario is true, but is neither illegal, immoral nor implausible. Flora was

saved by Aldo when she was 9, gained a huge crush on him, and then met her hero years later and found he was a good guy.

Unless you think teenage girls having celebrity crushes is cradle robbing, the creepiest acting character here is Flora, and she's 18. I'm assuming this is the age of adulthood.

And yes, there are far too many panels in scenes where Aldo blushing like a tomato makes no sense whatsoever; it is as annoying as the reviewer below me said. But Aldo's other super light blushes are suitable for his upbringing and circumstances. That's how I feel about it.

Now, for the rest of the story, as of chapter 16 many components are better than average. I like the characters, setting and premise... but the writing gets very cringy. Not all the writing is this bad, but entire chapters are wasted on it. It's all brought down a bit by the inconsistent writing.

Do I recommend this? No. Is it the worst thing ever? No.

I would love it if authors stopped making their protagonists cradle robbers

I don't care if she's 18 and 'legal', you're a 27-year-old AND knew her as a kid. Why can't they just make the female lead older or mc younger? Madness.

The plot is boring. The events of 9 years ago and the romance are just cringy. MC is a 27-year-old but blushes over everything. It's pathetic.
