Review Detail of ImConfusedAF in Trapped for Eternity

Review detail

Currently at chapter 11 and rethinking reading the rest. I listed a 5 star review, I'll update later depending on if it heads further south. The ages in this are a little too broad. Alistair (king /male lead) has been on the throne 16 years , based on how he's portrayed he took that throne as an ***** so he's a minimum of 36 years (if we're being generous) Eleanor ( cringy girl in love with the king, trying to marry Alistair) is 17 turning 18 in a few weeks. The "angel" Samantha/ ACTUAL female lead /green eyes girl who the king is actively searching for was born within a year of him ascending the throne so she's 16 at most, right now. Which also means she hasn't had her coming of age either (18 yrs). ML is old enough to be her dad. So will there be a period of time that passes or is the male lead really about to pursue a 16 year old when he's a middle aged man? Historically older rulers took on younger brides, misstreses etc, but this gives off a kind of predatory precursor to the story? I'm at chapter 11 and it makes me reconsider reading the rest. hoping this gets cleared and maybe my math is off or the author allows the upcoming female lead to mature more.

EDIT in a later chapter the author states that because the king has a different age progression it allows the romance to develop, but that technically it just means the ML looks young but he's still 36 plus or however old. The story also mentions the ML's 2 closest trusted advisors and "childhood friends", they are normal humans so that would make them mid 30's to 40's ... it's a blaring inconsistency. If the FL had her age adjusted even by 4 years older it would clarify a lot.
