Comment on ChapterMetropolitan Nepenthes - Chapter 9
I'm sorry to ask but, what's the difference between this "no, wait-" from Nolan to even from the also "no" to the boss? It's still a no, right? So why are people saying "well, he waited for three years blah blah" if Nolan is still telling him to wait and he's not stopping? He even thought "why am I always surrounded by guys that can't take a no for an answer?". It doesn't matter if they just started dating or if evan waited three years, if he's telling him to wait or said no, he should stop... If he really likes him, he will give him some time.

@Apollo because people romanticize ra** if it's from their romantic interest and only hate it when it comes from someone who isn't the male lead. You're right, it's the exact same
@Apollo okay so u pointed out somethign interesting , something common in BL is for the uke to reufuse/ have resistence from the seme. It seen as cute or adorable (very common in BL). If u check the prev panel where he says ‘no wait’ , he says ‘okay we will do it’. From my understanding the  reason why he  said was ‘no wait’ means not to rush in and take it slowly.
@Apollo but tbh the irl it would be treated as ra** , it just sooooo normalised in bl/ korean culture
@Apollo but also if u see in the next chapter the mc says 'no wait' and then 'do depper' , i'm not sure why they do this but its supposed to be cute??... like in the way he likes it so much that he wants to continue ... (im not sure myself)
@manwha2008 I'm not saying its good , im just saying aithors do this very often to the point of it being normalised 💀💀💀
