VERY unrelated to the chapter but to people arguing with people that say "oh I like this age gap" "I like this trope" and stuff...just look at their bio. It usualy includes age and most of the t8me these are litteral children/teenagers -_- (13-17) and it's not right but teenagers that age like questionable (borderline illegal) stuff so maybe it will help you guys be less suprised about it 🥀 plus to people trying to normalize this you guys can just enjoy a story without supporting the stuff in it 💀 for me I ignore that the uke is 17 because that is an unnececary detail in the story and clearly author's fetish. Also I think (I'm not rly sure correct me respectfully if I am mistaken 😭) it's technicaly nor groming or pdf from the character's perspectives since the age or how young the character is not the focus and from what I can tell the seme is not finding the uke attractive because he is young but because of some other messed up psychological stuff (the uke being young is certainly the author's focus when drawing it tho 💀) honestly I apperaciate the story and it is a shame that the author chose to make the uke so young though maybe (i hope) later in the story we can see an actual reasoning for that it doesn't excuse it but still being able to put reason in something makes me feel less disturbed and keep my peace of mind

the author making uke 17 actually has a reasoning in my eyes cause the story progresses from the fact he is getting bullied and to be theoratically clear with you high school is more common for bullying than college. The reason why author didnt make him 18 is because of time skips probably, if he meets shi liu at 17 and gets abducted during that time frame he will eventually age up to 18 and during that time the bullying will still take place and it probably is the age group he is in right now in this chapter. And i agree with you on the fact its not really grooming and i think it was the authors intention to make the uke look vulnerable but the options to how and why he would look vulnerable are very low and making him a highschooler is the most common and reasonable choice due to the reasons of him being more vulnerable during that time and state would make more sense than him getting bullied in/at college. And him looking young is probably due to authors desire to add 'realism' in his malnourishment lol.. but if you really put together the age issue it makes sense when the story progresses, not saying its right but it adds more tension to the plot of 'unavoidable circumstances'.
this is just my theory! feel free to tell me your own opinion on this take
