There is a saying by CS Lewis that destroys most fujoshi "Those who cannot conceive Friendship as a substantive love but only as a disguise or elaboration of Eros betray the fact that they have never had a friend".
Except for the fact that fujoshis are friends with each other :V

Saying that quote somehow destroy fujoshi is pretty silly since it completely ignores the context of fujoshis and most likely ignores what CS Lewis actually meant since that's only a fragment of what he said

Every fujoshi knows that friends exist. However, these are fictional characters, so they can interpret them how they want, no? I feel like this saying is more appropriately applied to real life, assuming a man and a woman must be in a relationship together if they are friends or something of the like. When it comes to fiction, it's just another lens of text interpretation.

Hmm she has to be careful with stress.. i don't know how stress affects kids but it is not good for her mental health.
Also growth, high stress screws with all sorts of hormones, so not only could it screw with your mental facility, it could mess with physical traits, puberty, and growth cycles.

NGL both niece and grunkle need to learn how to delegate. Sure not everything can be handled by a random flunky, but competent staff can check that the specifications and sample products match what the craftsmen are producing. The same could be said about sampling products, inquiries and acquisition of fabric tailings, and negotiating the specifics of trade agreements.

Yes they would still need to read reports, sign off on others decisions, and attend some cursory meetings, but that is an order of magnitude less mentally taxing then attending those negotiations or personally inspecting every aspect of the operation themselves.

Doubtful it will do that, given that she has the supernatural bloodline and it being the type of story it is. However, she is an isekai'd woman so she should understand, to some extent, that all the stuff she is doing could lead to some issues down the road. Even for a fully grown human, overwork can lead to major issues even for jobs that aren't physically intensive.

Just wanted to correct you on something as I looked into it, the saying doesn't apply to real life because the actual full quote has nothing to do with fujoshis, shipping and so on, to quote C.S Lewis:

“Those who cannot conceive Friendship as a substantive love but only as a disguise or elaboration of Eros betray the fact that they have never had a Friend. The rest of us know that though we can have erotic love and friendship for the same person yet in some ways nothing is less like a Friendship than a love-affair. Lovers are always talking to one another about their love; Friends hardly ever about their Friendship. Lovers are normally face to face, absorbed in each other; Friends, side by side, absorbed in some common interest. Above all, Eros (while it lasts) is necessarily between two only. But two, far from being the necessary number for Friendship, is not even the best. And the reason for this is important.

... In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all his facets... Hence true Friendship is the least jealous of loves. Two friends delight to be joined by a third, and three by a fourth, if only the newcomer is qualified to become a real friend. They can then say, as the blessed souls say in Dante, 'Here comes one who will augment our loves.' For in this love 'to divide is not to take away.”

What he actually said is that someone who can only see romantic love (Eros) as love never had a friend, it's from his book titled The Four Loves which talk about, well, the four loves :V, Storge (familial love), Philia (deep friendship), Eros (romantic love) and Agape (unconditional love)

It's the usual someone wanting to sound smart but just embarassing themselves cause they're ignorant of what they quoted actually means, I also argue that it's especially laughable and embarassing because he's shooting at fujoshis due to a two page joke in the manga rather than because there's some actual real fujoshi in the comments shipping them

I guess bro got pretty triggered at seeing the fujoshi joke or something :pepela:

Something really beautiful in that. Makes me wanna go tell my friends how much I appreciate them all.
