Gotcha, thanks for the explanation, I’m not familiar with that genre or the gender roles in that culture. Also I’m gay and poly so most of the spicy comics I read are very, very different to this. In particular marriage is significantly less important in polyamorous and gay communities - the quality of the connection between the two individuals is the biggest turn on in romantic content.
Also the comics don’t render properly at all on my iPhone so it was hard to even scan them for their plot lines. The frames were all cut off. But a guy throwing a lot of money at a woman reads as weird and creepy to me - it shows me only that he wants something from her and is rich, but doesn’t indicate at all whether he is actually any good for her, or whether he cares about her as a complete human being or as an object to be acquired.
Edit: Also if the comics are written for women, I hope they are written by women. Otherwise a lot can get lost in translation.
