Nah, I still find it creepy when a 28-year-old goes after an 18-year-old.
Sure, 18 is the legal age in many places, but legality and morality aren't the same thing. Just because something is legal doesn't automatically make it okay.
Also, there are countries where the age of consent is 15 or 16. By that logic, an author could make the character 15 and say, "Well, the age of consent is 15, so it's fine." Most people wouldn't accept that.
I think people are more willing to overlook it when the character is 18 because society likes to treat 18 as this magical age where someone suddenly becomes a fully grown adult. I'm sorry, but 18 is still incredibly young. They might think they're mature, but they're still basically a baby compared to someone who's 28.
So for me, the issue isn't whether it's technically legal. It's the age gap, life experience, and power imbalance that make it uncomfortable.
Yeah I guess 20 is better than 18, but personally I dont like age gaps, even 8 years is too much for me, but thats just a personal thing. Im so curious why they changed.
Also off topic - love your translations thank you for your hard work.
I am kinda sad and disappointed you like him, I hate his character with a burning passion but hey I guess to each their own.
Well since I know the story is not gonna end how I want, I'll just come visit the comments once in a while. Not gonna invest in another love triangle, last one I read ender so badly.

Does anyone actually like that pedophile, rapist, creepy weird ass loser
