It is? I thought Mashima was only the editor and giving some loose guidelines, rather than the actual story.

The things you mentioned are just two... though I'd have to look it over in detail again to remember the others I spotted... which I don't have much of a desire to do to be frank. For me IT has so far been quite enjoyable to read once, but nothing more.

The age is a good argument, though between extremely long-lived characters, not entirely Human characters and well... magic in general not an insurmountable hindrance. ;)

I mean just look at Hades. He certainly didn't look his 125+ years either.
