i understand this would be triggering if it was depicting pedophilia in a modern setting, but it's not nor should it be considered pedophilia. i would even argue that it could make sense in a historical setting (& even add context) since child brides were a thing back then. but the main concern is whether the author is glorifying it. if that's the case then that's a whole different conversation unrelated to this story.
i feel like ppl are taking this way out of proportion. you gotta remember that the whole fated mate thing isn't pedophilic but simply destiny. ofc there's gonna be a huge age gap bc the dude's been alive for centuries, & it's not like he groomed the kid to become his. destiny was already set in motion when the uke was brought into this world. this is a whole different concept in contrast to child brides getting married off to old creeps. not to mention, he's willing to wait until the child is of age. can't get any better than that lol.
