I don't actually think it's that bad. Just a lot of fanservice, and a fear to really do novel things with the characters, which is holding them back. But, it's the current thing that gives me comfort.

Aw that sucks, OP. I fell in love with the first game but never finished because I got a switch and BOTW for my birthday that year. I’ve actually been looking forward to playing the first game through and then getting the second.

I still really enjoyed the game and I liked that there were no romances, but his death...ouch.

I hesitate to even mention this, but you might be the target audience for Littlewitch Romanesque.

I love love love that pairing dynamic, and particularly the sorcerer/apprentice aspect of it (albeit not underage versions of it).

Part of it is that I generally like that sort of character, I like wizards and I like sorcerer's apprentices, and I like stories about magic generally. And part of it is that there's a huge range of really interesting dynamics that you can do with those relationships - from fucked-up dub-con, to surprisingly sweet. Also you can do all kinds of sex magic stuff and hand-wave-y magic sex tropes. So it's all good, basically.

OMG YES!!!! I was actually looking for recs here not too long ago to fit a somewhat broader version of this. And FS came through for me so well that I have years of canon and fanon to soak up. Please share your hits, OP? I’m always on the lookout for more!

Meh, definitely not my fav dynamic by far, but I can def relate to bouncing hard off a paring especially when everything about it should really be my wheelhouse.

As someone who has read next to zero fantasy fiction, I haven't encountered much of this. But I seem to have a bit of a thing for mentor/protégé with significant age gap, so what you're describing sounds fairly appealing to me.

Oddly, large age gap pairings without a mentor/protégé dynamic are less likely to work for me. What's funny is that arguably the mentor/protégé element makes the pairing more ~problematic~, and yet I like it for the opposite reason: it creates a strong bedrock for the relationship, so that the attraction ends up feeling like it's born of caring and shared understanding. Plus a mentor/protégé element can create a dynamic in which the older character is intent on aiding and protecting the younger character...but then "oh no, they caught feelings!"

I've only found one pairing that really scratches this itch for me (admittedly, I haven't exactly been looking for more), and that's Prof. Grabiner/Mary Sue from Magical Diary: Horse Hall. It's a very sweet pairing, and easily one of my favorite endings in the game.

[(Anonymous)]

This is actually one of my least favorite things in fantasy BUT on the plus side, it means I might have a couple of book recs you'd enjoy? Namely Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder and The Magicians' Guild by Trudi Canavan.
I haven't read them in a while, but I remember enjoying the stories and magic systems at the time, and even though I dislike the trope, I thought the relationship dynamics were at least interesting (moreso than, say, in Tamora Pierce's Wild Magic quartet).

I'm just baffled that it took people so long to realize he's a bit of a dick. It was blatantly clear to me for years.
