Kinda weird seeing people deny the racism and fetishization of this. This shit has been popular in Asian comics for yeeaaaars, especially the beast x white angel troupe in Korean manwhas. The only way you don't know this is if you started reading this shit like yesterday
Denying it or "not caring" because its smut doesn't make you cool or some unbothered queen I still check these out to see if the plot is good despite the fetish, but it doesn't make me sensitive if i recognize that and for others to be bothered by it.
It's calling a spade a spade
Yeah, unfortunately the room temp in these comic website comment sections is always one spark away from a overblown argument over some cartoon characters on a page. No one wants to use media literacy in their escapism and criticism of their smut comic is basically an attack on their personality. I've been on the end of it several times.










The translations are a bit off sometimes but I think I understand it.
ML being shaken up is kinda understandable because he's a character that feels deeply despite how he looks (he was described with "passionate" eyes in ch 1). So he's still gonna think about the memories he cherished
Despite that, I don't think he'll ever take his shitty ex back. Instead, I think him sharing was more of a flirtation tactic, to get the MC to be more pro-active in being in a relationship with him
I interpret "if I'm shaken, catch me" as saying "I want you to pursue me like i'm pursuing you"
