I was constantly infuriated while reading this. I read 2 other works from this author and the MLs in those were infuriating as well, but Jinxin is just on a different level. Many people in the novel's comment's section said that Jinxin was the tamest of all the MLs from this author, but I think otherwise.
This guy keeps cheating and lying and coercing Li Shou (MC) all through out the novel, and he doesn't grovel enough before Li Shou accepts him.
Why would you so easily accept someone who manipulates you into thinking that he loves you when he is not. More over why would you give him more chances after going through the same thing twice.( ̄へ ̄)

I read all the 188 group novels. Well, actually he is not the tamest of them all but he is one of the tamer compared to the main lead from sissy, years of intoxication, alpha predator. In my opinion, the most tame one is the main lead from professional body double.
however you are reading 188 group, also known as scum gong (top) group

In that case I guess it depends on the individuals feelings I guess. I read Years of Intoxication and still feel JuHan is much better than JinXin.
JuHan is terrible but he never gave false sense of hope regarding love to He Gu. He Gu willingly stayed with him knowing his character and other affairs.
Comparing that to this guy who basically betrayed Li Shou after professing his so called love. That's what irritates me more.
But yeah, I agree that each one of them is terrible in a different sense.

What stupidity... You establish a trust for the wellbeing of omegas, to make sure they are not sold and can choose whoever they want but exclude one omega CHILD (Age: 12 Years)? Because he was already bought with money? What sense does this even make? When you establish such protection foundations you include all the victims under it. Not exclude them from the so called protection.
This just feels like the author wanted to write more child abuse. Disgusting.

This disgusting writing.. Why bring up child sexual assault and Pedophilia in the passing? And more over make it all a joke. What is wrong with these authors downplaying such sensitive topics. Disgusting.

I don't think the author was aiming for this. They were probably acknowledging the cliche of the overused backstory for characters like ML here, it's the same rinse and repeat backstory. (I feel a bit off calling it a cliche but oh well ig)
Yes the author may have unintentionally made this come across as them joking around with such a sensitive topic, but I think (and hope) they just didn't fully think it through?
Keep in mind I know nothing about the author, just wanted to provide a other potential side of the story.

I did not feel that this was troll (by the author) on overused tropes at all.
Whatever their intention was, I still feel it's not something to joke about. Under any circumstances.
It's not just this author, there are many who use rape, child abuse and all sorts of sensitive topics as comedy. And there are many more who show child rape when it is not really necessary to the story at all.
I am someone who looks at things from multiple perspectives, but these are not the topics I need or want to be liberal about.

So a 24 year old TEACHER is taking the guardianship of a 19 year old who he is interested in romantically? Moreover the 19 year old is quite child like and was sheltered?
This to me, SCREAMS grooming and pedophilia. What is with this disgusting trend of stories with pedophilia and grooming these days.

How is he preying??? So far he's not being aggressive(doesn't hurt him), doesn't demand anything from the merman, he's not manipulating him or deceiving him, and the merman is as free as a bird, this means that he can depend on others as well since he is not in any way shape or form restricted from communicating w anyone. Would u rather he stay at the aquarium devoid of any knowledge? Which do you think is the predatory relationship

“Child like teen” both of those are wrong. He’s a grown man, as mentioned. And his so called “child like” attitude comes from not knowing anything about the culture he’s in. If a young adult moved to a different country and didn’t speak the language or know the customs, they’d be innocent clueless as well.

19 year olds are not adults. They are adolescents. They are neither kids not adults. They are in a transitionary period with more responsibilities put on them which makes most very unstable wisdom wise.
In this specific case he has a child like mentality towards human culture. He was sheltered all his life, and is going to rely on the TEACHER to acquire that information. The teacher already has romantic inclinations towards and is going to be his guardian of sorts. If the teacher was not taken in by the beauty and has a crush and took charge of the mermaid then it could be an innocent relationship as you stated.
Also, if a teacher or other adults with power of authority or influence over the young adult in a different country approached them with romantic intentions, I would still considered that as preying.
Trigger Warning : Pedophilia
Multiple levels of paedophilia in this. First the women, who asked a literal child to come find her when he was a bit older. And then the disgusting piece of shit noble.
Honestly.. why do authors keep including these sensitive topics in works. There was absolutely no necessity for this kind of shit.
Also, again with the "pretty" light haired character.
Isn’t that means she is a cougar, when “he is older “ so she basically ask for his adult form , that how I understand it
In essence it's still Pedophilia. The fact that someone already has such intentions towards a child makes it so.
Image a 30+ man doing the same to a 6 year old girl. This is the same.
