Meh not rlly (I can elaborate if you want)
He told him “stop I don’t want it” and tried to push him away fym
And then at the end ash is like “yk that wasn’t me right it was just in the moment” like tf
This manhwa is supposed to highlight consensual sex
I mean we have access to Karlyle’s thoughts and he’s enjoying it, plus it’s already been established between them that he only says that bc he’s embarrassed… I do think it’s a lil weird but it’s more of an author issue than a character issue
But how from Ash’s perspective how tf is he supposed to know if Karlyle is being serious or not. Like, him saying “it hurts” like 3x “I don’t want it” “stop” and physically trying to push him away is a bit excessive for Karlyle just being a tsundere type. Did they already establish a safe word and I forgot or something??? This is so common in those manhwas where the bottom will try everything to get the top off them but they “actually secretly enjoy it” like that is a lovely message you are sending about consent to your audience.
Bc they’ve talked about it before, I’m pretty sure Karlyle said smth like “I don’t hate anything you do” or sum. They do establish a safe word when Ash is in his right mind
Oh okay didn’t remember that they had a safe word my fault
First point doesn’t really make sense though… saying that one time doesn’t automatically mean infinite consent
That’s true but I’m guessing it does for the author (Asian standards are a bit iffy)
