and speaking of the novel being fantasy, my friend made a really valid point regarding orv’s genre and audience:

with my friend, i asked about two specific lines—the line you specifically mention and the line where hsy explains the abfd was the one who wanted her to protect kdj’s dick:

on the side…what you said vs the tl you posted are two diff lines LOL. i think the way you quoted it is what you wish it was

here is the epub, mtl, and even the fan tl/flamecomics rendition of what hsy says. i think its interesting you’re taking what hsy says as straight fact when, from the very beginning all the way to the end, she acts very “tsundere” and always tries to put him down or generally call him pathetic.

now for the hsy quote, i did the same thing and as far as i can tell, she doesnt refer to his dick directly in any way, she only refers to him. the closest to what you said, and to the discord screenshots you posted, are from the webtoon tl where she calls kdj himself pitiful.

while looking through epubs, i also looked at the raws from munpia and mtl them, as well as sent them to and asked a (native korean) friend how they would translate jhw’s line to the best of their knowledge. im ngl,the tl u posted reads the same as the others & i think youre reading too much into it

—what she would be referring to as “insignificant” is kdj’s worry (and/or embarrassment) over his being nude. which is exactly what she’s doing in the tl you posted.
in the tl im using, the only similarity seems to be her saying to not worry about “that”, and him flinching—same goes for the webtoon.
