    I read the manga for Shield Hero and it was suuuuuper cringe that the loli raccoon eared slave girl became the main love interest.

    Theres also a spinoff manga where the Spear Hero turns out to be a regressor and becomes super obsessed with the chocobo girl and ends up trying to hatch her himself but no matter how many eggs he hatches they turn into a different chocobo-person and he just ends up owning a ton of children he calls his angels in every loop. Really messed up when you take a step back.

      It’s cringe that she wants to stay a slave especially. That kind of thing annoys me to no end.

      She grows really quickly. I thought at least the love interest stuff starts after she stops being a loli.

        I find it problematic even if she physically grows 10 years in 2 weeks. It’s still an attraction to a child, mentally.

          Yeah, the magical growth thing is kind of a cop out anyway.

          I feel like the author wanted to have his cake and eat it too. Save a child and have the cute protector child relationship, but then magic her into a suitable wife, and have a new child appear, so they can play family.

          Spice and Wolf did it better.
