I'm getting really off vibes from this manga, like he's saying no all the time and it feels like a r@pe and I know I can just drop this but I can also share my opinion here

In Japan/Korea "no" usually means "yes" in a sexual situation. They call it "no" that express fondness. The same goes to stop/i don't like it/i can't anymore. In a boy-girl relationship, this usually happens because the girl is too shy to express herself enjoying that moment, or even think what a pervert she is doing these things. But I think they apply the same thing to yaoi manga/manhwa, especially if the uke is not the power bottom type. I know it could be confusing to people with different cultures, especially westerner, cause they usually just say "oh yes yes yes". But different cultures, different meaning I guess. And we probably can see the situation to judge what kind of "no" the uke means, real no or "yes" no.

"No" "I don't like" "I can't" basically mean keep going, don't stop. Japan/Korea shame culture makes them feel shameful doing certain things, one of it is being seen naked by someone else (even though it's their husband/wife) or having sex. By saying no, or denying things while doing sex, it's like them reminding themselves that yes this is shameful act, even though I like it. And yes the partner usually find it cute or it's like pouring oil to fire, cause they understand the context. One of my friend got a japanese girl that say those things, but when he's planning to stop the girl is the one getting more aggressive touching etc. At the end she kinda explained it to him that it's just how they react.

You should really post this in a blog or as a how to when reading these types of comics. Even in male/female Asian comics, the FL will do exactly the same thing and people start literally bold capping RAPE in the comments. It really is a cultural thing which many of us have tried to explain. Sometimes, the readers are simply too young to read comics of this nature.

But even if you know that, how do you actually differentiate? Let’s not pretend like those countries don’t have huge issues with rape. What’s the cultural way of refusing and revoking consent during sex? How do Japanese/Korean people say “no” and be taken seriously? It also sounds like a culture that encourages slut shaming, if women who voice their enthusiasm during sex are seen as strange and improper.

Well those countries are ashamed of a lot of things, you get bad grade is shameful, you squat on stairs is shameful, you do this you do that is shameful. But those shame and honor traits that makes the country More orderly compared to a more "free" countries. I feel the safest as a woman while I was studying in Japan. In real life you can differentiate by the expression, the tone of voice, or the amount of resistance. There are many factors where any normal person should be able to differentiate it. Like humans have brain, just because there generally no means yes, doesn't mean they should ignore other signs that emphasize the opposite. Just judge by the situation. In manga/manhwa you probably can see it by how it's drawn. How the story goes before this particular scene. What is the character's relationship etc.
Awww he thinks that if he gets the surgery Felix won't stay with him because Giovanni wouldn't have to depend on him
