This is why when the 13 year old twins try to kill him, he didn't let the children be torture or killed as they are too young. This is reasonable because those children might have been growing learning that way instead of enjoying their childhood.

If he didn't choose to save that sick and innocent child, he would be consider as the killer because he have the choice to save but didn't. Not only that, if you consider the Prince, someone who would die at a very young age because of the 'curse'. The child would remind him of the Prince, and he might felt guilty about it.

somewhere around there, it gets harder and harder to stay invested in the story. I don't like webnovels that are 500+ chapters with no ending in sight because they start to lose track of their main themes and whatnot. I feel like this webnovel suffers from the same directionless syndrome. I don't know where the author is going with the story. But these are only spoilers I read from a secondhand story, so maybe it is better in actual execution.

when dealing with Sadie as a regular child, he never refuses or sets limits on ether absorption despite making all that fuss about proper education. A child attacks you with a knife and you don't get upset or even assert boundaries? Nothing about "I will help you, but if you continue to do XYZ I will behave ABC"? Anything? Even after when he finds out that prince Cedric is "Sadie", and the prince deliberately depletes his ether and uses his child appearance to force Jesse's hand out of pity, he doesn't even half-heal him in order to stand on principle and get a proper apology. You KNOW that's Cedric, and you know what he's up to, but you don't stand on it for some forced and half-assed he's so nice 🥺 reason! He gives in every time.

Sir Geens' hostage situation

the way he treated Elise. Clearly she loves him and cares for him, and he knows this, and we hear sooo much about how he can't do anything to make things difficult for the real Jesse, but he avoids her and sides against her for MC+ML way too obviously, and clearly hurts her feelings. It cannot be that difficult to say a quick "after I was attacked on the border, I hurt my head lost many of my memories and I can't really recall everything. They've treated me well here so please don't worry. I know you care about me and I worry about the situation back home, what is going on?" etc! You can't make something up? He's not s*upid, so???

Jung Eunse is the typical MC who tried to minimize his presence in the OG storu but fails. He's hardly read the OG story so half of the time he's going off of info that his sister shared with him. He's extremely kind almost to the point of a Saint. He's fine with being a political hostage since he has some value as a preist in the kingdom so if he dies then it'll be a headache for the royal family to clean up and gives the Holy Kingdom a reason to start a war with them. He gets along well with everyone, especially the servants and common people since he's a confessional priest. Not the brightest bulb of the batch but he has his positives with an affinity with holy powers and people.

The OG ML we never asked for but definitely deserve. TWSB is unique with the fact that they give you a PoV of Cedric when half the time it's always on the MC. Cedric is a hard nut to crack but takes his position as a crown prince seriously. He's the decisive character of sorts. His condition is guarded pretty well and led to a hilarious misunderstanding between him and Eunse.

I like how Christelle takes control over her life. The Christelle in TWSB is clearly different to the Christelle in the OG novel. She's a real 31 year old office woman but has the energy of a woman in her 20s. She likes helping people and can be very extreme about it at some times when it's necessary. Her talent as a Holy Knight is amazing it's almost a waste that she didn't become one in the OG novel. She's the type of character that gets into trouble and needs Eunse to take her out of it lol. In the end, she's perfectly capable of taking care of herself. She takes risky moves when she knows that Cedric and Eunse will be there for her.

Though a side character, you see her quite a bit. A Royal Knight Vice Captain and Cedric's Best Friend. A talented knight and entertaining friend. She's mostly the main cause of the misunderstanding between Cedric and Eunse. She lets herself be free in front of the main group but can turn serious when it comes to her job. Half the time she goes to Eunse when she wants a break from work haha.

These two are loyal to Eunse but also friends with him. They may be servants, but Eunse treats them as colleugues as he often invites them to eat at the same table as him. Benjamin and Ganeel are strong believers of the God so that contributes to their trust to Eunse. Benjamin gives an "elder grandfather" vibe while Ganeel is a naive but hardworking type.

All of the characters mesh together so well. If I were to put them into stereotypes, Eunse would be the "adult/nanny", Cedric the closeted chuunibyo, and Christelle as the kid always high on sugar. I can't get enough of them and their funny interactions. And while the combat scenes are very limited, fron the few snippets I've read, they have pretty good team work.

There's a scene where their teacher punishes them for destroying a lounge room while a Countess was interviewing Eunse so she brings them to the mountains to fight off some demonic beasts. This is their first proper fight as a team and it moves perfectly. Eunse used his brain to create a trap, Christelle using her ability to create it, and Christelle and Cedric working together to manipulate and kill the beasts in the trap. Out of all of them, Cedric arguably has the most experience. The fact that he can adjust himself or the other capable of adjusting themselves with his abilities is amazing.

he even protected cedric and christelle at the competition when they fainted!!!!! What are you saying here!!!

how in the recent chapters at this point he's still pushing away christelle when they've already gotten kinda close I understand the distancing but sometimes it feels a bit like christelle is getting the short end of the stick when it comes to bonding time with Jesse in comparison to Cedric. I want more interactions between the two I quite like christelles character she's so cute

the child assasins that tried to kill him, I believe he only felt sympathy for the children who were killed and who's identies were stolen and used by the assassins. I just see a lot of people getting angry at this when, yes he should've taken it way more seriously, it was kinda understandable.
