people defend the pace, saying it’s character development, but it’s not. julian literally ripped the wings off of a butterfly and lippe didn’t even take the time to let him understand that’s wrong. we already knew he was a budding psychopath, it would have been fine if lippe even attempted to educate him but was interrupted, but she simply went “so everyone just lets him do whatever? okay let’s play.” every chapter up until recently has been filled with character development that we all appreciated, we understand all the important characters except for the white haired future duke. the only progress that is coming out of these filler chapters, is the fight that just took place. and i have a feeling that the fight will be shrugged off, or hildert will take the blame for this, because he hit first, when julian was the one that snatched his present and freaking destroyed it. so where is his character development again?
again, all that’s going on is showing how much kids are falling in love with lippe. oh sorry iNfAtUaTiOn. listen, i know you wanna be smart or whatever, but 5-7 year olds don’t know the difference. regardless, no one of that age is going to have romantic feelings for any person.
