    So I just realize, there is a lots novels with theme suddenly transmigrate or reborn with child. The child is just 5 or 7 years old but s/he looks so mature even her/his word's like wow? so genius?

    And there is also novels with theme a big gap age for male lead with female lead, mostly 10 or 11 years gap. But I suddenly confused when male lead treat female lead like a 3 years old child?? She is 12 or maybe 13, and male lead hold her up or carry her then female lead acting like like 3 years old baby?

    Another way, the ancient theme. 14 years old already marriage, the damn why 12 years old getting treat like a baby in big gap age theme.

    Most CNs feature precocious children or adults transmigrated into childrens' bodies. And there is certainly no shortage of complaints about that. But while readers love to complain about it, I doubt many readers would find children depicted as actual children truly appealing as I have seen too many readers complain when a child is being unreasonable, even though the child is just being a child— it's a no-win situation.

    Doesn't help that most authors can't (or hesitate to) write believable children.

    As a person who hates these hellspawns, I am kind of glad sometimes the MC is mature to be a mature child, yet I also like it when MC uses their child status to do something like a child to get what they want.

    There are so many people reading and everyone is everchanging in views, so all I can say is I don't care about the thoughts of others unless they detrimentally affect my experience.

    Ps. I tried to recall how I was acting as a child as I wrote some fanfic, if I could, I will grab the little mfucker and slap his ass until the two cheeks turn into eight.

    There are always people like those who treat you like a child or an adult when it's convenient for them. As for 14-year old being married...... Well, I'm sad to say this, but I heard such things do indeed happen in real life. Heck, I just learnt of this from a google search, but Mary, Jesus' mother from the bible, was apparently 12-14 y/o when she married Joseph (I still think this guy is NTRd).
