I think the author made him look and act older then he is just to make up for the age gap and make him being a minor easier to digest and somehow to make it look like it's okay when it's not
He was an adult, he turned 18. There was nothing wrong with their relationship like I said above. He started to act his age after beeing comfortable in his life.
Moreover it's just a story. Pretty good one at that
╮(￣▽￣)╭
No-one is forced to read it if they are uncomfortable with it.
....he turned 18 TWO HOURS BEFORE THEY HAD INTERCOURSE. Isn't that weird? The 2nd lead is what, 30 or something? Being 18 doesn't magically mean you're an adult especially if you've JUST turned. Yes- overall the story isn't bad, I just have free will and have all the rights to express my opinion. I just noticed that and it icked me, and that's all. They could've at least met when he was already an adult (⌒▽⌒)
.. well don't know where you are from but I am from a country where it's legal from 15 so
But I understand your comment. I don’t want to argue or anything, I’m sorry if it came across that way. I just always get upset by comments about the story from people who don’t finish it and criticize it just because it’s not their cup of tea (and not just in this specific case—generally speaking).
You can make it legal from 12 and it still wouldn't change the fact that it's not an adult and can't be on the same mental maturity level as a 30 yo if you get me
I get your point of view, but I just think that through normalizing such things like this age gap, it transfers to the real world where this should not be normal...perhaps I'm making a big deal out of nothing, the world is a sick place so I'm just being sceptical. Sorry, I'm also not trying to argue...(￣∇￣")
Overall, I really liked it. I liked that even though the protagonist was "only" 18, he was actually quite "mature" at first, but as the story went on, he started to act more "youthful" and inexperienced. It was nice. Both main characters grew with the story. Their fates were similar, which connected them. The age difference didn’t bother anything. Well, at least not for me.
