it's an asian character trope, basically used to describe a weak and helpless personality (white lotus = pure) but also naive and stupid. like maythan rn, weak and useless. black lotus = two-faced hypocrite who appears pure on the surface but is scheming (like typical villainess character or the new prince character). green tea is something similar but they use smarter schemes.
They're trying to make Maythan a white lotus mc. From the early chapters, he's very quick witted even though he was weak. (He was dumb on that abduction dungeon part though, but not this dumb). I cannot with this. BRING BACK SASSY BRO RIGHT THIS INSTANT! ヽ(`Д´)ノ
