Wow (spoilers)

The story is very well written and I was drawn into the world that it described. I absolutely despised the MC. His whole image revolved around his ingratitude. He was bored with his life and ran drooling after a child because his life was too perfect??? The mother's selifishness and controlling dictatorship reminded me of my own mother. I was only an extension of her and everything I did had to be controlled and any personality, desire or will that I possessed had to be eradicated lest I become autonomous. Fortunately, I was stubborn enough that I escaped her bondage. That's what it is, actually, not love by the way. And the maid, telling her the way to get a man to love her is to throw her body at him? Of course, it didn't work out that way. I hated everyone in this story except for Reiko, who I pitied and somewhat identified with. She was, indeed, manipulative. What else could she be? She learned from a woman who used guilt and fear to manipulate her for her entire life. Of course she was manipulative! She was still a child, therefore she is the victim of her mother's selfishness and neediness and the MC's lust. Isolated from the world and emotionally abused by her mother and in the timeframe of this story sexually abused by some old man who knew damned well he was doing something horrible, but did it anyway. Poor thing.

Personally didn't think the guy was THAT bad. It was there but lust wasn't the entire driving force behind his character. He was obviously going through a midlife crisis of sorts and was a bit selfish but he wasn't pressuring or trying to engineer events so he could sleep with her. I belive he genuinely liked her, although I could understand somebody reading it as pretty words to justify his actions.

Reiko took control and made her choice to seduce Eiji. The other maid's advice was legit advice, she seemed to be be on Reiko's side and perhaps wanted to help her break away from her mother's control. That's what I took Reiko's actions as.

Eiji not saying no was morally grey at worst but absolutley not abuse. The fact that she looks back on it as a fond memory in the epilogue should put you at ease really. I'd like to think that her interactions with Eiji over the week were the catalyst she needed to take control of her life

For me this novel was about feeling pity for all characters (episodic maid included) and thinking that this pity is absolutely useless at the same time.
I believe that this painful ambiguity is popular in Japanese literature that I like, it's like showing a photo without a name or commentary: it's not good, it's not bad. Its beauty comes from being real.

I tried really, really hard not to sleep with the underaged girl who I repeatedly affirmed I viewed as a child and who moments earlier confessed that she was not attracted to me and was only pretending to have fallen for me because she was sad and lonely and desperate for positive attention from a male figure, which I had given her earlier while mentally thinking of what if she was my daughter.

But she said "please" so I guess I don't have a choice and must now sleep with her instead of like.. i dunno... giving her that physical affection in the form of a hug while I console her or something more appropriate like that not that's dumb it's gotta be sex. It totally counts as sex when she comes onto me right? even though children expressing sexual desire including to adults is a natural part of experimenting with their newfound feelings which she would not have been able to experience before with someone more likely to turn her down as I should be doing because she's still a child? I mean she asked for it so she pretty clearly wants it even though our conversation moments ago indicates pretty much the opposite.

But luckily I don't have to worry about that because she looked back on it fondly and maybe me boning her made her more like, independant and self determined or whatever.

He might not have held her down and forced himself in against her struggles or beat her up but engaging in sexual actions with an underage child is an inherently abusive action. There's no blurred lines here like she's 17, it's not like she'll "turn 18 tomorrow" or like he's 18/19 so while she's under they're close enough in age that it can be argued not to matter too much. This is someone 20 years older than her fully aware of her age and vunerable emotional state and forgiving himself for taking advantage of it because she said "please"

I don't mind there being stories like this or the chartacter existing but I certinally do take issue with The character being called non abusive.
