well it's really complicated , you can also say he is a pedophile and also not a pedophile.
In chapter , 6 the ML says he started growing sexual feelings towards Asha when he turned 15 , (ML was 21 , 6 yrs age gap)
But the ML has been liking Asha since he was 10 yrs old ( Asha was 4 ).
In this study - They quote
However, sexual involvement of an older adolescent (aged 17 to 18) with a 12- or 13-year-old may not be considered a disorder.

since they have a 6 yr old age gap, when Asha was 12 , ML was 18. Also they didn't have any sexual interaction then.
I'm just confused , so yeah feel free to give me your honest opinions. Google says that pedophilia is a mental disorder and i hate it so much. im not trying to defend the ML here, I hate pedophiles .But there is such a vague and confusing definition of pedophile in google and since in this case ML waa also a kid when he started liking Asha.. So Idk if ML can be considered a pedophile or not.
The art is nice but the knight is dumb as rocks and the prince is a psychopathic pedo freak. I've read worse but it's def one of those stories where you have to turn your brain off to enjoy it
