That's why I like the maid in a tl novel one...
The body age gap is not that big, 4y, and her mental age is around the same as his... and romantic interest only happens after her current body grows...
I can deal with her mental age being way higher... my problem is that they are usually fauxcest, aka, the ml is a step or adopted brother... and they were raised for some time as family.
That's why I can't like (to say the least) comics like Beware od the brothers and The precious sister of the villainous grand duke. As someone who have a adopted sibling I can't help but feel really bad about it... family is family, blood ties or not...

And also viridescent crown
i swear readers always have issues with whoever the ml is in this kinda time travel or reincarnation novels when the ml is around her body's age, they say her mental age is too old so its paedophilia when shes with some guy of hundreds of years old, they say hes too old while she is just a child
people really cant give them a break huh ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
