This series comes waving one very large red flag: the central romance is between a nineteen-year-old (the Dragon Emperor) and a ten-year-old (the damsel). Nagase, like other authors before her, attempts to make this okay by having Jill still be internally sixteen, the age she was when she died before reverting back to her life six years prior. If Hadis hadn't been so super-keen to marry a girl under fourteen (for plot reasons that don't appear to be him being a pedophile) and then kissed her twice, it frankly would have been easier to swallow.
It's a shame, because Jill is a great heroine - strong, smart, skilled, and not going to take crap from anyone. She deserves better than this series, especially since it's either the best written or best translated of Nagase's books yet.

Everything was there: goofy characters, some laughs, politics, and a decent storyline. The problem is it could’ve been a great read for me if the FMC wasn’t like literally a kid! And the whole romance setup was so weird, he tried to kiss her, for God’s sake. That’s creepy as hell. The writing style wasn’t great either, IDK maybe it was the translation. Overall, I’d say the anime version is way better than the novel.

I’m sorry I bought this one. Got to 30% and the age-gap of 19 year old MC H and 10 year old MC h (physically. Mentally she was 16, but she IS PHYSICALLY TEN PEOPLE) squick just turned me off. Deleting and going to forget and move on.
1, I can’t give a pedophilic romance more than this, stars.

DNF @ 40%
Will not rate this book cause it is evidently for younger audiences. It shows in the writing and the character’s personalities. The plot wasn’t bad and it was kinda funny but felt too ‘young’ for me.
I also agree with other reviewers that the MC could have gone back to the time she was 16 or 18 and the curse could have triggered 4-5 years after that. The book would have been as amusing without the slightly creepy feel.

⚠️ At the very least include a warning ⚠️
I regret not reading the reviews more closely. Neither the sample, nor the book details have hints or disclosed that it was a pedo romance. I would not have bought it.
The summary did not just mislead my expectations, it betrayed them. One star, would not recommend.
I see the “technicalities”, and I cannot support it. I had held out hope, like I’m uncomfortable, but maybe they will fix this physical age gap. NO THEY DO NOT. This “I’m really 16 in spirit” was straight up a no go. At one point the guy MC is openly depicted as “tricking” the10yr old girl into crawling and laying beside him in bed because he feels sick “because we’re family” and then he says something along the lines of, “Just kidding! I’m not, I’m your husband”. There’s even a “first kiss” I saw later on as I skimmed the rest, having been fearing the worst at this point, and grimly wondering how I would report it.
To add insult on top of moral injury, the world doesn’t make much sense and all the characters are poorly designed. Not just the main characters, in fact the MCs are more like one-dimensional “personalities” that do not match their contextual details. The small handful of people who do exist (barely) are hollow. As a reader you want to care and become invested in the characters goals...In this story, everyone is painfully lacking depth and humanity. The dialogue reflected inexperience in crafting human relationships, interactions between people in conflict, people and their environments…the impact of social dynamics and stressful experiences on the MCs were off, and ultimately lacked authenticity.
I’m not expecting literary goodness here. I was expecting a simple, charming, and slightly entertaining romantic reincarnation story. I read 100+ books a year, many of them light novels, litrpg, and sci-fi fantasy. I support people in their creativity, AND you also have to be responsible for what you choose to put out in the world. Do not encourage or promote creepy small child powerful adult romance through innuendo, complacency, or negligence.

I have to DFN this series due to the fact that the MC is only 10 years old who got engage with a 19 years old man. I mean where can I find the romance with it? And not to mention that the MC is way to over-powered for her age...and the prince kinda an idot that gets over excited for such trivial things.

You know, I’ve got mixed feelings about this book. The story is interesting and the ongoing battle between the gods makes things complicated and kept me wanting to know more, especially with how it affected the characters. I enjoyed the main character, Jill, and I think she’s pretty great.
But the references to pedophilia really made reading this difficult. I’m glad the characters recognize that the main pairing between Jill and Hadis is uncomfortable, despite this being a story where she has time traveled (she’s physically 10 and he’s 19). But just because it’s recognized, doesn’t mean anything if you don’t do anything about it. And it doesn’t really make things better, just because you make jokes to bring a bit of levity to the situation. The whole thing smacks of wanting to have your cake and eating it too.
I stuck it out, because I like this author and she is very good at creating fun and interesting stories. But not everyone is gonna feel like that.
If you get uncomfortable with the mentions and jokes about pedophilia, I don’t blame you. I, personally, am gonna see where the series goes. Hopefully we can move on to more of the politics that were introduced in this volume.

I was a bit on the fence with this one at first because... well, you know... the age gap/minor marriage thing. After reading it, however, I find myself not very bothered by it for several reasons.
1 first and foremost ***Nothing physical happens between them*** (except a couple of kisses which Hadis gets promptly and soundly slapped for.) 2 Hadis doesn't marry Jill because he's attracted to minors; He marries her because he not only *has* to marry someone but he also *has* to marry someone below a certain age to avoid a certain curse. 3 Jill is an adult mentally and acts it, Hadis is a child mentally and acts it (I've heard from a friend who's read more of the series that he's so innocent when it comes to the birds and the bees that he's able to be tricked into thinking kissing makes girls pregnant). In their own ways they have to catch up to each other in the maturity department 4 The book doesn't glamorize the minor/age gap thing. In fact no one in the book really lets the age gap slide without a disapproving comment.
I'm glad the age gap thing isn't egregious because aside from that it's a very enjoyable read. Very funny and chaotic. Endearing even! I like that the story is set in its own world and doesn't involve people having been reincarnated from our world (not that I hate those or anything it just seems like there's a looot of them). The next book is on its way to me

2.5。
I like the main protagonist: she's smart and resourceful.
And the whole myth about the Dragons is interesting as well.
But oh my god, the "romance" between a 19-year-old and a 10-year-old? EWW.
I know Jill is 16 in her mind, but still.
I will continue with the series since I want to know how the story progresses, but I seriously HATE this age thing.
(why not age up the pivotal age of 14 to 20 or something... I don't think the story would suffer much... I seriously question the author's (and maybe the editor's?) decision to OK this age gap...)
....oh, and the occasional sudden change in Jill's speech pattern is disconcerting as well.
漫画が無料だったので、途中まで読み、続きが気になったので原作も読んでみた。
主人公はもともとは鬼軍曹と呼ばれるくらい優秀な軍人だっただけあって、頭は回るし、肝は据わってるし、かっこいい。
竜帝も普段はヘタレだけど、キメるシーンでは心を殺したようになりつつも最強、というのもいい。
けれど、 どうしても19歳の大人が10歳の少女とラブラブしようとしてるのがマジで無理。
漫画でも違和感だったが、絵が綺麗だし、政治や歴史が興味深くて、年の差「カップル」からは目をそらせた。
けれど、文章となると、思ってた以上に二人の「恋愛」模様（まぁ恋愛未満なんだが）が描かれていて、居心地悪い事この上ない。
いくらジルの中身が16歳で、中身だけ見ると3歳しか違わないといっても、見た目は10歳なんだし...
何故、肝となる年齢を20とかに設定しなかったんだろうか。主人公が一回死ぬ時25とかでいいじゃん...
そうだ、あと、ジルの口調がたまに唐突に軍人風になる（お前とかいう）のも、気になる。周りは指摘しないの？あまりにも口調が違い過ぎて違和感ないのか？...なんかなぁ。
どうしてもこの世界の「竜帝/竜妃/女神」の攻防戦がどうなるのか知りたいので続きを読むつもりだが、マジで年齢差が....気持ち悪い。

I came from the anime… and to be fair I was shocked when I realized she is 10 and he is 19… this was a big no for me… but I kept reading… and it’s because of the plot line that she must be under 14 to be the dragon consort, cause all the girls from 14 and over can be possessed by the goddess until she is able to get a vessel for her true form… so… this is the main reason of Jill being 10 and married in name to Hadis, who is 19. To be honest some of the dialogue make me cringe cause Jill is internally 16 due to her memories being retain from her previous life, but still I just honestly. It’s hard for me to accept or believe his dialogue as been in love, having his heart flutter and flush cause his wife is cute… like 😬 it doesn’t feel right at all!! However I’m trying to seeing it. Either way I kept reading and leaving all the creepy interactions aside, Jill is an amazing heroine and Hadis is pretty much dumb. Naive and the author has try to paint him as Childish… which only works to make this romance even creepier
July 11, 2024
Jill's life has taken a turn for the worst in the beginning where it seems death is the only option, only she wakes up as her old 10-year-old self. She's determined not to let her fate play out the same way, but that plan probably wasn't thought out clearly enough to consider getting married to the Dragon Emperor with her former fiancé chasing after them. The lore in this world is more than a little confusing and it's a bit unnerving that these two are talking any terms of marriage when Jill is still a child in this life, even if there are clear reasons for it that finally come clear in the end. It's easy to forget sometimes that Jill is a child though as her memories are still of her old self and she definitely acts more mature most of the time, except it seems when it comes to the personal relationship aspects. Seems even though she was engaged for so long in her previous life, there wasn't really a relationship to build off of other than taking and following out orders.

TL;DR It’s intended to be a farce.
Perhaps Japanese audiences were just as uncomfortable with the age gap of the two romantic leads as Western audiences were. The second volume makes it more clear that nobody feels comfortable with the age gap. Characters make frequent snide comments about it. In fact, the gap is so ludicrous, it is played for laughs, along with the mighty Dragon Emperor as apron-wearing homemaker. The story is intended to be a farce, including the pedophile prince who may not actually be a pedophile, yet because all of this isn’t clear in the first volume, I leave my review as is.
###
I wanted to like this book. In fact, I did like it. The dialogue was fun, and the chemistry between the damsel and the dragon emperor was entertaining.
If only Jill wasn’t in a 10-year-old body.
This book creeped me out at times more than it delighted me. A 19-year-old boy kissing a 10 year-old girl romantically? Yes, I understand that Jill is a 16-year-old reincarnated into a 10-year-old body, but Emperor Hadis doesn’t know that. What’s odd is that the bad guy is denigrated for being a MAP, so what point is the author making?
There are more than a few books in the series, so the Japanese readers didn’t seem to mind. Maybe they were better at forgetting the physical age gap than me because the dialogue was so entertaining.
This age gap is probably a cultural thing, but now I’ve pointed it out. I absolutely love Sarasa Nagase’s other works, but this one puzzled me. The main characters’ relationship is chaste, so nothing truly icky happens. but if you’ve got a thing against child lovers, this book may creep you out at times, as well.

Really good story. The premise of time-shifting while retaining memories has always fascinated me. The age difference between the main protagonists is a bit unsettling at first, but the twist that our “damsel” is actually older—at least mentally—helps make it feel less disturbing than it otherwise might.
That said, this is a fantasy world, where "imagination" is the name of the game, so diz okay. After all, Juliet in Shakespeare’s was what? 14 or so?
Overall, a great story with a satisfying ending to this journey. I can’t wait to see where it goes next.

First book, so standard review
Characters are likable and a mystery. Writing is simple but makes this book easy to get through. There’s a bit of conflict in the story, that’s still being told (it’s a series), so won’t go into details in each separate review.
Romance is a bit on-the-fence currently and makes sense for the first in a series that will probably balance both romance and action.

The story overall is super freaking adorable...but also a little weird. I love the cheesy romance of it all, until I remember she's 10 and he's 19. And then another pair or characters are in an incestuous relationship...I'm not sure what to expect in the second novel but I'm going to give it a try and hope for the best.
November 30, 2023
I read this because it is written by the same people that made 'I'm the villainess so I am taming the final boss' but this one was just... weird. Couldn't continue after realizing the age gap (she's really in her 20's with him but in her younger self body and his comments are weird). Oh well... I tried

started reading this but got uncomfy with the concerning age gap between ML and FL. And then the way they made plot so 'its not weird that youre a kid, i have extenuating circumstances!'
I decided to google this book to see others opinions and thats when i learned author was arrested for CP. So i will not be going back to this cp fantasy story

It's a pedo romance between a 10 year old girl and a 19 year old man. And the book description gave no warnings. So sorry I bought this at least I was able to get a refund. Wish I could give it zero stars.
November 28, 2023
Oh god no the age gap..I want to puke!!! In no world should a 19-year-old be anywhere close to a 10-year-old in any kind of romantic relationship.. I don’t care if there’s a reincarnation or whatever it’s still despicable and disgusting. There should be warnings on this. GROSS!!!

The end sort of mitigated the age-difference ick-factor. The story is a little patchy, but entertaining and has enough promise I'd like to read the next volume.

So much to read, so little time. I can't wait to read the next installment of this series. Because she retained her knowledge of what happened before, she's been scaring the people around her because she hasn't told them what happened. Like they would believe her anyway.

Explains the goddess situation better than I recall in the manga (could have been a translation issue). I’d like to see Gerald get his comeuppance - maybe Hadis can reign with a *wee* bit of terror?

We have another female led time loop fantasy adventure. Battle Maiden Jill Saber regrets her affiliation to Crown Prince Geraldo and would rather take her own life then allow him a complete victory. Regressing six years into the past she desperately declares her love for another at the ball to prevent Geraldo's proposal--only to discover her target is a visiting dignitary. The cursed dragon emperor has his own use of a magically powerful young lady and she is unable to extricate from her hasty fake confession. Arc one concerns itself with whether or not the couple can overcome the treachery of Marquis Veil at Veilburg.

Not a lot grounds this one. The world building is sporadic. Tension is interrupted by flash backs or exposition dumps. The characterizations are intentionally left muddy. I admit I probably enjoyed reader commentary on events more than the actual novel prose. Still it is a quick read with some laughs if you are willing to just commit to the zany chaos.
