Hmm, it's either the translation is somewhat lacking or the story itself is not that good,
Too many points in the resolution was not properly set-up,
The hay being used as bed was not hinted, I would've thought it was his food or tribute, the actual bed itself wasn't even shown before to show the comparison,
How are we supposed to infer "ducking penis" means small in what dialect? And somehow it was treated like an obvious hint in the previous chapter,
The Minotaur's position in the negotiation was only given in the resolution,
I mean this is the first negotiation in the story, if this is going to be a story of communication and negotiation then at least properly show how good our MC is at that
