Maybe you haven't read a lot of Japanese smut but the FL in Japanese smut are stereotypically very VERY indecisive and submissive. The FL would literally fall for any guy who rapes her and claims that he did it because he loves her, she seduced him, or that there's no problem because he knows damn well she enjoyed it
I wish I could like your comment lol. I always label those scenarios as "Nooo, stop, nooo DON'T stop." moments that REALLY blurs the lines of what is consensual and nonconsensual sex. We see it in Korean manwas also and Yaoi with the Ukes. Makes me wonder if assertiveness in females/ukes are a turn off as IT is so common...
Lol right? I've been reading smut since I was in middle school and I got used to reading about the indecisive/submissive/dishonest protagonist x the lowkey rapey monster dick with a smexy face ML that even I started being indecisive and dishonest in my relationships lmao And I get it, it's really hard to be honest with your horny desires without embarrassing yourself because we're all awkward and shy at first but it really be irritating sometimes becuz the Ml is just fuking a dead lay or something becuz the protagonist aint initiating anything I really recommend reading "The Blood of Madam Giselle" and "The Evil Lady's Hero" if you want to read about an assertive FL getting the dick she deserves
Yes! I love The Blood of Madam Giselle, but adding The Evil Lady's Hero to my "want to read" list now! Thanks!!!
I truly hate how many mangakas follow this route because of the problem in Japan. Here are some links that I think it is important for everyone to read including mangakas of josei and yaoi. Sexual Assault is a problem in Japan and it doesn’t help if mangakas incorporate it into their work with no consequences.

Would like to give you a like for that comment
At first, Ryo is dump and Souma raped her. A LOT!
Then Ryo is mysterious about a fucking costume. Like she is cheating her boyfriend. BECAUSE OF A FUCKING COSTUME!!! Everytime they fuck, Ryo is like "I don't like it, but please don't stop." and crys. Why do they always cry?!
And now Souma is brave enough to ask to live with him together, like they did the time when Miu was living in Ryos appartment. And now it's not right?! Girl, get your shit right. You love him. He loves you. What about living together?! It isn't THAT hard.... Everything else will work out while living together. I know it.. HAPPEND TO ME!
