Plot that has toxic elements and problematic themes

Exactly as the title suggests.

I prefer to read wholesome, fluffy type stories, but sometimes there are exceptions and this list is for those. 

Sometimes, I just go back to reading these stories even knowing the plot is meh or the characters are toxic, there’s romanticized rape etc. because either they redeem themselves somehow or the sex is hot or the art is beautiful.

I’ll be sure to put content warning, what I find not so great about the manga etc.

Ace no Kyuujitsu

 8.4(268 voted)
Complete
Author(s): NISHIDA Higashi
Genre(s): Yaoi

CW: rape
Con: the relationship started with rape
Pros: the character admitted he was wrong and Hidaka chose to not report (I don’t know if I would be so forgiving). The topic wasn’t avoided like other rape to romance tropes. Also the son, Yuuto, is so cute.

It’s so sad that Haruto felt so cornered that he felt selling his body was the only way.

Eunsoo's Good Day

 8.8(359 voted)
Complete
Author(s): 고운
Genre(s): Webtoons / Yaoi / Smut

CW: sexual coercion, rape, relationship between step brothers
Typical romanticized rape where Eunsoo enjoyed the sex and so he thinks that it’s ok and he wants to be with them. The story is also pretty rushed.
What makes it appealing: Hot sex scenes and threesomes, twins are hot

Bad Boy Musashi and Oyamada

 8.8(681 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s): Mario yamada
Genre(s): Shounen Ai / Yaoi / Smut / Comedy

CW: dubious consent and sexual coercion
I’m a sucker for delinquent trope mangas and especially if the delinquent tough exterior goes weak in front of his partner. Their relationship started off not great (Musashi thought Oyamada was threatening him and Oyamada took the opportunity to get frisky), but they ended up together.
