I think he could be 18 because he’s in his last year of school ?
I definitely think so too, especially since in China they tend to be 18/19 the last year of High School. I'm sure malnutrition also plays a part in it as well, I definitely think he's of age it's just the way the author depicts him. Still love him as a character and the dynamic, I feel like it's weird.
idk why the translator didn’t include the part where the author clearly stated their ages on their S1 afterwords but it on chinese website tho. they have 10 years age gaps, 647 is 18 and 16 is 28, both are adult. yeah it does feel weird especially with their size difference but the author has clarified about their ages. though the genre is already fucked up from the beginning either way so age is least of my concern lmao
I hate how tiny the MC is and how he's underage, but at the same time this plot is so insanely good that I'm eager for more. Nobody could've guessed a cold blooded serial killer could have motherly instincts towards this kid who is begging to die. Beaten and bruised, wracking up more injuries as time goes on, he can't help but pity the MC. I'm sure that pity has slowly been turning into love as well, that's why he was so frustrated when the MC brought up "can you still kill me".
