Especially if it is a limp dick

Maybe bexan was around humans to much so when he's a human he doesn't smell the dog smell maybe ...dunno

Yeah, Bexan has never met other werewolves... that's the whole point of his wanting to go to Siberia. That'probably why he couldn't tell that the other guy was like him. Either no one told him what to pay attention to (smell or whatever) or like the other poster's said, he's had so little practice that his senses are a bit rusty.

Yeah but being a canine he'd have picked up that the guy didn't smell like a human, and he would know the scent of werewolves from his parents. Just going from common folklore on weres. Bexan is the best looking one by far though.

We don't know if werewolves smell like dogs when they're in human form. Bexan probably had been adopted by a human woman, since he said he has never seen an other person like him.

Because this isn't rape trope. It is a realistic representation of rape. Rape trope is about desire spinning out of control, power dynamics being upended and love saving the day. Trope isn't about evil, emotionally stunted boys, who, through a sense of grievance and powerlessness, attempt to humiliate and destroy those whose personal autonomy offends them. It isn't about cowards who hide and stay silent while their friends are violated for fear that the violence will turn on them. The depiction of rape in this story isn't romantic and the only way it can serve the romance genre is if the seme redeems himself through unexpected and unlikely acts of heroism and personal sacrifice; the uke acquires the grace to rise so far above his tormentors that, for all intents and purposes, they no longer exist; and justice is properly meted to the rapists. In other words, in a well-told story, this is where the conflict gets interesting. The question is whether this will be a well-told story.

Thanks for the explanation. I must admit either type can be a bit disconcerting.

To say the least. That's a marvel of understatement, actually. But the distinction between romance and realism is pretty simple.

Rape-trope caters to readers' id-based urges to be sexually desired past the point of reason. It is pure escapism and fantasy, and is never intended to be connected with real life in any meaningful way. It provides a safe release for sexual tension, and since most people have more important things to resolve in their lives than whether others find them sexy or not (and for women, especially, whether they find their sexiness is too dangerous or unsettling—not that they have much, if any, control over how others perceive them, if they are perceived at all, apart from being objectified, ie., it's a tangled mess of complications), thank god for fantasy and safe releases.

Realism is about authenticity and truth, no matter how raw, violent, selfish, indifferent to the victim, or ugly in its execution. It is intended to be confrontational and disturbing. If romance exists in such a story, it comes through daring rescue, or in the form of comfort and solace. Sometimes, there is no romance, and the story is about how the protagonist and everyone involved mops up afterward, and this is probably the most honest depiction of all. There is a very subjective and individual value in such stories, but it usually takes an adult sensibility to tease that out.

But, certainly, both depictions can be disconcerting.

Thumb up.

Clarification: It literally means that's enough but in a very soft tone. Like "Okay you don't have to say anymore" cuz he's flustered and shy. Sorry for my inexperience.

Thanks for the clarification! That expression is often used in fights and to scold kids. The blush in the manga was so subuttle that I thought he might have been angry. Thanks again!

Yes thanks for the clarification.

No Raws. It's on going. All chapters are translated.

Ok, thanks for that, much appreciated.
