I don' know, I find it quite refreshing. I read a lot of fanfiction so sometimes yaoi, especially korean yaoi tend to irk me out with how they depict certain aspects of queerness. Don't get me wrong, when toxicity is done right it can be a good aspect of the plot but most of the time I enjoy seeing characters seeking out consent.
ps: I haven't read a single chapter yet but seeing the cover-art (I know don't judge a book by it's cover—anyways lol) I'm assuming one of the core aspects of this story is BDSM and consent is very sexy in BDSM.
What would you rather see? I’m curious.
As for myself, I find few things as hot as when someone ask for consent. I think it proves real attraction. It can’t be misunderstood as him only chasing his own pleasure and/or only seek to satisfy his own desire. “Can I suck you off?” feels equal to “I really want to give you this kind of pleasure.” A positive answer shows “I want this too.” and that proves the attraction is mutual. Asking if he can suck him off also prove that he would find the act pleasurable to do, but only if he wants him to. = it wouldn’t be pleasurable if they didn’t both desire it.

I hate when eny BL character says (can I suck you off) or (at least let me suck you off) it’s just the “suck you off” part that makes me

Is this enyone else or just me
