lolita works precisely because of the age gap between lolita and humbert. Any good love story requires obstacles for the story to be good, in this case, the obstacle is their age gap. You can't just change lolita to a single woman of 25 and expect the book to be same as good. Humbert wouldn't have to work hard to get her, nor will there be resistance for him. This is the reason most good love stories of literature are adulterous. The protagonist being married to someone other than his desired one works as a resistance that the protagonist has to overcome, which in turn creates the story.

No shit dipsit that's what the novel revolves around, it's like saying "You couldn't just change Patrick Batemam into a normal person and expect American Psycho would remain the same" It's so obvious it's practically implicit.
