They're trying to make Maythan a white lotus mc. From the early chapters, he's very quick witted even though he was weak. (He was dumb on that abduction dungeon part though, but not this dumb). I cannot with this. BRING BACK SASSY BRO RIGHT THIS INSTANT! ヽ(`Д´)ノ

it's an asian character trope, basically used to describe a weak and helpless personality (white lotus = pure) but also naive and stupid. like maythan rn, weak and useless. black lotus = two-faced hypocrite who appears pure on the surface but is scheming (like typical villainess character or the new prince character). green tea is something similar but they use smarter schemes.
I bet when he finds out why he left, he'll treat him good
