Bdsm can be pretty fluffy. Kink doesn't have to be hard, strict, and angsty! (Ang Ang has some super cute moments!) But I mean, the premise of the comic is "meeting on Saturdays to keep a job he's not qualified for" and they clicked expecting healthy and completely consensual bdsm? If it was just sex would they go "ew this is not consensual sex" like duh?? Lol Actually to me the fact they haven't had full sex yet makes this next chapter that much more important. I'm hoping I don't get my heart broken but even if I do the emotional masochist in me will keep reading lol
It's exactly as you point out. The top doesn't force the penetration sex right away, and let the bot get used to their date night. Yes, it's a transaction and sexual coercion case in office.
Spoiler
After the top catches feeling with the bot and knows his SA past, he regrets it. The top is SM player and never date seriously before. It's the first time he offer someone a position in his team in exchange for sex due to his strictness during work. The bot is his type and he kinda turns on by his tear face.

TL;DR is that this is a work of fiction and it doesn't HAVE to resemble real life. Just stop reading if you're expecting completely healthy bdsm and are going to keep crying about it not being healthy EVERY chapter. This isn't it. The power imbalance from the get go isn't real bdsm dynamics. If this was the usual BL with blackmail or "sex for a job" y'all wouldn't be crying as much because you clicked a comic with that exact premise. This comic is using KINK instead of vanilla sex, but the premise is the same. EXCEPT it's not. Again, hear me out. Kink isn't vanilla sex. It's a power dynamic that's even more psychological. I for one am interested in the fact they didn't use the kink as quick foreplay for sex. Spanking is my thing I won't lie, but the writer seems to have a grasp of kinks, not bdsm per se. I'll shamelessly enjoy this kinky angst fest and hope for character development and GROWTH. I want the mc to feel safe and loved and accept love. I hope, HOPE, that ml doesn't rape the mc next chapter. But stop hiding behind your "this isn't bdsm wahh" mask.
