Mental vs physical age difference in reincarnation romance
Is it weird for you guys when some old ass middle aged woman/man reincarnates into someone way younger than them, but their love interest in that new world is still the same age as their host? For ex: a 30 yr old woman reincarnates into a 7yr old but then the author would still romanticize her with a 9yr old boy bc hes the ml in that world. Is that pedophilia on the girls part or does mental age not matter over physical age?
