Are protagonists getting younger??? Both of these stories is literally about children. Not even teenagers.

The first novel kind of reminds me of this Korean webtoon called The Monster Duchess and the Contract Princess. I'll probably check it out when it comes out.

It says something that when I first read this headline I thought it was one book...

Kind of interested in I'll Never Set Foot in That House Again!, if only just for the mean sister.

Ascendance of a Bookworm starts with a 5 year old child! She does get older over the course of the books but still very young. At least she isn't sexualized.

That said, she was a 5 year old with the memory/knowledge of a 20-something year old
