Normally, they either instantly realize or they never do. There's Normally no in-between. Glad MC actually realized she was a stalker. He should correct her as punishment.
Also, him knowing Rino is stalking him and just calling on her casually. Kekw Thanks for the TL
i feel like things started rushing all of the sudden. one chapter the mc is on the verge of becoming a breeding bull for the princess and then the next he's rescuing her from an assassin like a week later after barely getting away from her.
I think his finally having been in an unambiguously sexual situation kinda forced him to stop looking at the world around him like a child. He's still not super keen on accepting their interest ("don't stick your dick in crazy" isn't exactly new advice), but he's unable to pretend that interest isn't there anymore.
