become a S level spell card master with a 100% success rate in like a week. Its simply not the same character.

On that note, dont read if youre uncomfortable with what is borderline an age play fetish. MC gets treated like, and acts like a child - playing children's games on the computer and dressing up with paws, tail and ears included (despite having normal clothes - bec I remember the clothes he wore at first author! Dont think I dont remember that he still has them!). He's taken to a playground of star pets, and instead of any monologue about how he has literally been brought to a children's playground with swings and slides, his thoughts instead is about how he's taller than the star pets and how hes happy about it?? Where'd the high IQ go author? Where's the "Im going to learn interstellar coding within a day on a whim" MC?

Ignoring author not being able to decide between MC being OP and being a literal toddler - He turns back at like chap 70-80. And it takes a looooooot of "hehe we're in love oook kiss me hug me look im so cute let me shake my bu*t so u can think about how cute I am" before we get there. Not worth it. I genuinely got nauseous from whatever author's idea of cute is.

Im actually fairly sure ML is the first one who experienced "fond" feelings for MC (despite MC constantly going on about love and his wife), whereas MC only cared about him after figuring out that he needed to interact to grow. But was it romantic? Ehhhhh its up for debate. ML definitely shows romantic love towards MC, we can see it by how he automatically feels after seeing 170cm MC, its still the same emotions except this time he doesnt fool anyone by thinking its just familial love. But is it weird? Yes. Hell yes. ML canonically has a micro fetish and I will stick by that. Not only does he think MC is a literal robot doll, but MC is also the length of his forearm. ML is a s*xual deviant. It just so happens that MC is a human - but MLs feelings were developed based off the knowledge that MC is a 30cm tall AI doll. Not only that, but a 30cm tall AI doll who dresses up in animal costumes, ears, tail and paws included. ML is a certified, legally qualified, Board approved, f.r.e.a.k.

Also not to go too deep into what is essentially a micro doll fetish novel, but why is having AI dolls a normal thing in this. Grown men spend millions on buying forearm size robots that look like attractive teenage boys dressed in animal costumes? Not only that, but these robots grow to 100cm over time? Why is that a feature. Who commissioned the manufacturers to make their literal human dolls grow bigger. And why. I really dont like to think about this. But why do they need to be bigger than a doll unless youre going to use them for certain activities. I hate it and I hate that the author needed to make them "grow".

On that note, star pets are AIs. We know this, the characters know this. And we've been told that theyre not necessarily very smart AIs either (ignoring Kukus sudden intelligence). From ML being surprised at MC doing toned-down versions of normal human things to being told to just get him reprogrammed when he didnt know the language (so no learning capabilities past preprogrammed hobbies?). So why are there things like playgrounds and toys for them? Their capabilities are limited to what they are manufactured to do - they are essentially furbies and fake dog toys that walk and bark - so why are there facilities that cater to their recreational "needs"?

Which grown ass rich men are taking their 4 pretty teen boy dolls to have fun with their 50 clones at the public playground? Honestly feels like the author forgot that star pets are AI robots, and dumb ones at that, and started thinking that they were literal children you buy clothes and toys for

the only star pet we actually see in the latter half lol - he also gets smarter, and becomes smarter than MC. To the point that he reflects on his brother being below average IQ/a bit s*upid multiple times. If that doesnt tell you how great our MCs "smart scientist" character is, I dont know what will

Chapter 1 MC was annoyed, disgusted and weirded out by the world's natives. He was scared but ruthless and calculated the best way to stay safe, he had a hypothesis on how to get his normal body back, and he tested that hypothesis. Chapter 1 MC was specifically picked by ML after ML saw the contempt in MCs eyes when he looked at the auction workers.

Current MC rubs his hands and face against MLs hands to be cute. Current MC suddenly changes his opinion on the animal costumes being creepy and even likes them. Current MC practically skips over to ML when he sees him. Current MC plays toddlers games on his computer. Current MC poses infront of the mirror in tiger costumes. Current MC calls ML his wife, and roleplays (f*cking roleplays!) being a strong, muscular husband in his mind.

I think that this will be the ML's fetish. Lol.

When the MC was still a small star pet, he usually wears cute attires.

A tiger, shark, dinosaur, orange cat, etc.

The ML remembered it once the MC mentioned that he missed it.

But then the ML's mind went to the 'zone' ? He imagined our MC wearing animal ears, paws, and tail while being naked.

It almost made the ML have a nosebleed. (He bought so many costumes, omg!)

And he duped the MC into thinking that only a "tough guy" can wear the costumes since it's pretty revealing once the MC asked why it was so different from the costumes he used to wear.
