The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows. Lilly. Can we please stop with clearly child coded characters being Harem members.
I got maybe 8 minutes into The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows.
The Clips that showed up in YouTube Shorts looked fun, I had some free time might as well.
Knew it was a "Soft Monster Girl Harem" going in. By soft I mean the Girls look human with a few animal/fantasy bits tacked on.
We get to the Character Introductions we start with a little elf girl, Lilly.
She is clearly a kid, the Actress is doing "The Child Voice" (You know the one).
Ok, maybe she is just staying with MC, and isn't in The Harem like the other clearly same age or older than the MC Cast.
Nope this child declares to Harem Rival number 3, She going get good at "Doing Wifely things" So MC will marry her.
I could not close the window fast enough.
I don't care if it was going to be revealed later she is 1300 years old. So she's really the oldest woman in the Harem so its totally fine that she's apart of the cast.
If Elves still look like children at that age, they clearly haven't reach age of maturity for their kind yet. Meaning she would be seen as Kid among her own kind.
I don't care if it was just going to stay as Little Sister has a crush on MC.
It's Icky.
