This story really shouldn't have been an isekai; it adds nothing and actively hurts everything. Ars is a modern 20-something adult, and he's still going around reacting to things like a child. Also, he fell in love with an underage girl at first sight? Creepy. It's a shame because the story is otherwise pretty enjoyable without that weird undercurrent.

I'll never get over the fact that a person that is supposed to mentally be 20+ years old, gets flustered by a little 10 year old child. I think people forget Ars is mentally over 20+ years old. Considering he died at 15 years old, and has lived as Ars for over 10 or 15 years? Makes no sense.. (Yes, I get it's "just an anime", but that's still weird.)

I'd say the problem is that there are two distinct ways this trope can be written:
1 - Is an adult literally stack in a body of a child: they need to retrain their body, but their mind, memory and personality is, for the most part, transferred from their last life (personally I appreciate if they think in the voice of their original self, while speaking in new like for example Mushoku Tensei does) in that case if they get together with someone their age it most definitely feels creepy! Long lived race, or older partner aware of their situation feels much better. Though it would still be best to weight for real relationship until all participants are of age for the world they live in...

2 - A kid receives a set of memories from some past self that mostly gives them access to some knowledge of modern world, or pre-warning for curtain events or people. The problem is: the kid should be more lost on what to do with that, and be more distant to that supposed past self, and not outright identify with them... and unlike the first that second option usually is not well shown when it comes to what happens in the mind of our protagonist. Unlike the first who has to grow out of their past self, this one needs to grow into their 'fate given' knowledge. They tend to be shown to much like tiny adults, and not brilliant kids, and think adult thoughts, without childish ones to balance it out, so when their child selves show u in romantic context and nowhere else it can get pretty uncomfortable to see if they feel like that first option.

it wasn't at first sight and do ppl not understand the concept of reincarnation? becuse it never fails, every reincarnation series, theres always a person crying "he's a __ something yr old falling in love with a kid"

incase you haven't noticed he is a kid himself. yes he has memories of his past life but that's it. everything else has been reset. he had to be re potty trained, re learn how to talk, how to walk. yes his memories helped him re learn that stuff faster than most his age but thats it. it gave him an advantage but doesn't change the fact he is a kid. it be weird if he was a 7 yr old hitting someone in their mid twenties. his physical/emotional/etc have all been be reset at birth. he just has memories of his past life. PAST life, is is not a 20 something year pretending to be a kid and going after a little girl. he IS a kid falling for a girl his age.

I know reincarnation isn't big in the west, but seriously what is so hard to understand about the concept?
