"Flirting Question"
Added 2023-08-25 18:56:08 +0000 UTCSo you all have read a 'decent' chunk of the flirting stuff in the story. Too much? Take some out? It's fine?

it makes me unconfortable, because he's 17 years old or whatever, being hit on by 50 year old women that level of power and experience imbalance is really weird

2023-08-26 15:08:50 +0000 UTCWhen I was his age I’d flirt with every attractive female I’d meet so this seems natural to me. Mind you it was the 80s and people were generally friendlier then today. The other aspect is that so far he’s only interacted with barmaids, adventurers and the like. These groups are much more likely to be up front with their interest. Had he flirted with others, say a noble daughter, things would be very different.

2023-08-25 21:54:27 +0000 UTCOh i understand but alas it does happen. Im going to have to tone it down some for sure. Will rework. When we went on a cruise (picture of family in chapter 27 on RR at bottom) i had to say something to a woman who was my age

2023-08-25 21:22:36 +0000 UTCIf you mean 18-19y old girls… Sure. It‘s possible. But I dont think a 25+ year old women goes After a Boy that age. And when she does it is unusual. That’s the point I‘m trying to make.

2023-08-25 21:20:23 +0000 UTCMan my 17 year old gets older women all the time hitting on him... but then again its the world today... I hear you though. I'll come back later (currently editing the next 15+ chapters)

2023-08-25 21:15:10 +0000 UTCEven a handsome 17 year old isn‘t that appealing to grown women. So it doesn‘t feel natural
Puri Iresan
2023-08-25 21:08:01 +0000 UTCIt hasn’t been EVERY woman, you can name 3 women who has flirted with Kaen and one was for like 2 paragraphs and she hasn’t been seen since (the rogue). He’s a 17 year old celebrity that’s obviously going places so yeah it makes sense that there’d be some characters that try to express interest or take advantage

2023-08-25 20:07:01 +0000 UTCActually that’s a fair point. Nobody has universal appeal.

2023-08-25 19:16:02 +0000 UTCOk. 17 isnf like young but i may tone it down. Also he is the “golden child” in some ways. Everyone wants a piece of him. Is more in coming chapters. I dont mind editing or tweaking. This is what I get for letting my 14 year old help with ideas 😂
Shawn Wilson
2023-08-25 19:15:55 +0000 UTCIt’s not so much the amount of flirting as the fact that every grown woman seems to be throwing herself at this child that I find off putting.

2023-08-25 19:14:01 +0000 UTCLet’s be realistic, he is a teenager from a small town that is now in a big city and getting attention from women. If he wasn’t flirting it wouldn’t make sense. Plus you have to assume some of the women might be trying to take advantage and he’s just ignorant of how some stuff works.
