Honestly, I truly pity the ML. He will continue to live for thousands of years, only to be alone. Worse is that her lifespan of 100 years must feel like a couple of months for someone who lives that long. He will essentially be forced to watch other dragonkin and friends around him find mates, have kids, and grow old together, while he'll likely never experience that. Especially, because he is willing not to change the relationship between himself and MC into a romantic one if MC only wants it to be platonic. This genuinely sucks for him. I kind of wonder if the author made the MC a child so that ML would have more years together with her, compared to if the MC were at least 18/20. Or that's what I hope the reasoning behind the age gap is. Anyways my point is I feel bad for the ML who will outlive her drastically and live a lonely life for millennia.
