I think you're not thinking from the main lead's perspective, because she compared her body to other girl due to her husband's comment. He said she wasn't his type, and fucked another woman without blinking an eye. I'd also feel conscious of my body after that. There was never any indication of certain beauty standards of the story from the beginning. Opposed to your comment, I actually enjoyed how there were women with different type of bodies and appearances since the beginning because smut rarely includes bodies like ours and deems it desirable. She was hot as hell, all the girls are. Idk, it's just my interpretation, well see what other chapteslrs will bring.
They thumbs you down because they don’t want to admit you’re right.
The things is that stories aren't reality. It isn't something that just happened. When things are shown here, it's always an active choice by the author's side.
You have to pay attention to it and listen.
Also, mc was never self conscious. She always knows her body is desirable. It's not presented as "my body is good too uwu
They downvoted you but you’re completely correct
Am I the only one who feels this story is kinda racist...
Like first off, we already know how Koreans are. East Asians as a whole actually, and I'm an ea myself.
No matter how good the story is, more often than not there will be an instance of pretty blatant racism/classism/sexism that will make me take a deep breath and count to ten before I brush it off and keep reading.
But in this case it feels especially nasty because the racism is sexual and more lustful.
Just. Of course the the side peace who's getting her brains blown buy the father while m watches is poc coded(but not ea). Brown dark curly hair, brown eyes, BIG pouty lips(but too big to be "beautiful and dignified), dark skin(or what is just not pasty dead paper white but you know, that's dark enough for them) and a curvy body.
Shes presented as a whore who has nothing but sex on her mind, what is basically a mindless sex toy a a backdrop to the father's and MC's story.
I want to highlight that while this *is* smut, there are ways to write smut more gracefully than others.
And we know that the author is perfectly capable of this in the way they handle MC's scenes.
Oh no, she's the perfect white protagonist to project onto(yes ik the author is Korean). She's pale, with straight shiny hair and and smart eyes. Her lips are pouty and pink, but not so much they turn grotesque or too much. Yes she has curves, but they're not so big they get in the way or ever turn obscene. Look! She's as skinny as a twig!
"I prefer my body anyways.." she says, as if she weren't the fucking beauty standard?? Like what was the author trying to say with this??? My country isn't as strict with our beauty standards but for example society still doesn't like fat bodies. I'd never go out of my way to compliment my own body and say I still like it more when compared to a body that is actively ostracized like????
I'm still reading it and I am kind enjoying it but really, did they really have the need to do that?
I feel like a lot of people are gonna tell me I'm reading too much into it lol but I really see it
