So, in case you don't know, it's basically a trope in JP web novels where there's a little girl who's actually way older than she looks. To be clear, I'm not here to start a debate on the morals of this, so don't go writing an essay about how its disgusting or how it's totally fine, pretty sure that's already been talked about a lot on this forum.
So now to the actual question, how do you feel about the trope, how do you think it should be done? Or are you simply tired of it? Perhaps you simply just enjoy it for the fan service?
IMO, most novels focus too much on the loli part rather than the thousand year old part. Most characters like this are pretty much for fanservice, I think its a lot of squandered potential, specially for those that focus a lot less on the slice-of-life genre. An example of this would be Rory from GATE, her backstory seemed pretty interesting imo, too bad it wasn't expanded as much as it could have been.(At least as far as I know)
