I normally avoid any stories with cute/twink Ukes because they're just not my thing, but I read the last story completely just so I can write my opinion properly without missing any context.
I think there's a line between malnourished/cute-faced twink, and a literal childlike design. The last one is nice n all, it had crazy potential, and I did kinda enjoy the storyline. Uke looked fine—non-childlike, at least a little bit—during some of the non-explicit panels. But the smut scenes were so uncomfortable to look at because they drew him too young-looking a lot of times. I seriously skimmed past the art and just read as much relevant dialogue I can because even the size difference was killing me.
Not to say any size difference immediately makes someone look like a kid, nahhh. but the way they drew him is just so specifically "kid"-coded, that's why it can read to some as Pedo-material.

Overall, tho, yeah, Uke looks like a kid.
