I get u. I haven't read this one yet, but I have read the authors other work and it has the same problem. I do love the story, but it is an odd artistic choice that I'm not rlly a fan of.
I totally understand where you’re coming from as I too have read a plethora of stories where the size difference is uncomfortable, but in this instance I feel as though it can be bubbled down to the fact that Ignat is a dragon which would create superhuman features, possibly an increase in stature but also because of his disease from the plague the ml has always been a “runt” so he wouldn’t be all that big anyway ? But that’s just my thoughts so take it with a grain of salt ╮(￣▽￣)╭
The art is beautiful and the story is quite intriguing, but I can’t help but be uncomfortable with the difference in their sizes. There is nothing wrong with a feminine man, but why does he have to be so small and frail? Sorry to pinpoint, but his features are conveyed similarly to how one would interpret a child. I hate to be a party-pooper, but personally I cannot view this story as “adorable” and “sweet” if one of the love interests is depicted with such childlike fragility.
