I mean, I'm not sure think they think he's dumb (or they wouldn't be thinking of an academy as the solution, surely?) We know him as... a bit of an aspiring himbo, yes, but that's judging him by the standards of an isekai'd former adult, not as a seven-year-old. But they do think he's not...

That Kyrandian Killer Squirrel looks vicious... (This is probably too deep a cut; just the words "Killer squirrel" instantly transport me to my childhood...)

Now okay, the thing is... the note is still useful because some of us over here are already traumatized by too many series and are ready to freak out and assume the worst at any moment. (That said, despite that, I'm not against anyone shipping kids in the sense of, say "I hope their puppy love...

I... A guy who wants no one to die in their stories and worships the double-figure-eight knot? squints Since when is the hero me?

I love the implication of how much of a different genre the Hero is living in. Entering the Konami code in a corner next to some pots... XD

Me: squinting in long-disused yaoi literacy So he's giving himself the dog and the prince the cat, so that means we're foreshadowing that the future adult ML is the prince who will also be the uke...? Huh! ...Or it's just a cat and a dog toy, lol Xp I do honestly appreciate that ultra-low-key...

I am aware XD Although most guys do not style their name like, "Bryan♂", and strong signalling about the importance of gender usually means someone is either extremely closed-minded or extremely open-minded, but it isn't always immediately obvious which without knowledge of the relevant...

Yeah this is sometimes very... Him: "Technically I'm an adult inside!" Me: staring at him giving giant cicada shells to people he loves as the best gift he can possibly imagine: "...Uh. You sure about that, kid?" (Though I cannot discount the possibility that his adult form would merely have...

I'm pretty sure that the border between France and Germany is not where this story takes place at all, given the premise and what we know of the setting—pretty sure thay're in another world entirely, as advertised—yet I appreciate this maddened dedication to trying to make sense of Japanese...

Never... make a statement like that without either supporting evidence or a /jk, unless your sole intent is to troll people ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've watched about 1/2 to 2/3 of it. I happen to have enjoyed most of what I watched greatly but that 100% is it hitting several of my sometimes-obscure personal preferences at once rather than it being objectively good. And the writing made me nostalgic for the early 00's in a way that...

I kind of have to disagree on this. Using quick heuristics to avoid danger when you're out walking around town? That's one thing. Sure. But that sort of conservation-of-effort is for all the little things in life you can't afford to spend time, risk, and/or resources on (even then it can hurt...

Man. Of all the possible words for gay/queer/whatever you had to choose "homo", which literally means "same" (as in, of course, homosexual; 'loves the same sex'). Now, pretty sure bro is not the same sex as a planet. I suppose if the planets are sentient he might be the same gender as one in...

I mean, gender presentation isn't the same as gender identity. A lot of people who were referred to as "transvestites" in my childhood would be recognised as "transgender" now, sure, but a small portion of them would indeed just be male-identifying, female-presenting, no further explanation...

Aaaand re-reading this I am suddenly reminded of the reason I was no longer reading this =.= Honestly, I do wonder what the hell was going on in the author's mind as they wrote this. What did they think they were writing? Was it supposed to feel "empowering" to have the kid subjected to abuse...
