It annoys me when characters are written to be so hopelessly naive that they're blind to their surroundings

@TripleAAA I mean makes sense though, he only lived with his mum and fox. Seems like he’s had no interaction with anyone. I’ve met people who are like him.
@B.a.M Given the time period of this story and the massive power gap between commoners and royalty, the situation actually makes sense. So if a royal character acts 'kind,' they’d naturally be extra careful not to upset or trigger the other person. That said it still bugs me that this character’s 'innocence' just makes them look completely helpless without someone to rely on. (Strictly talking fiction here—in real life that level of naivety wouldn't survive).
But honestly I actually still enjoy these kinds of plots lol. It’s just frustrating to constantly see these characters being turned into a damsel in distress.
