R*pe, confinement, drugging, torture
Uke has the worst life- getting r*ped by his brother in both lives, ending up confined by his family, and the fucking emperor is crazy. It’s trauma porn.
The messed up mess does make sense given the time, emperor was never taught how to love or cherish someone but it’s still a stretch to forgiven him when he:
1. broke uke’s ankles
2. drugged him until he couldn’t hold anything + was forced to sleep with anyone in his sight
grooming, uneven power dynamic (orphan MC x guardian ML), possessive behavior(ML has uke under surveillance 24/7 from when he showers to sleeps), dubcon
Both characters are obsessed with each other. But I dislike it because ML is stoic to the point of being boring and groomed MC. ML is in his late 30s-early 40s and MC is 16-17. MC had a traumatic past and views ML as his safety so his attachment to him makes sense but ML being almost 40 and controlling MC is icky.
Rating: 1/5
rape, pedophilia, blackmail
This is not a romance, it’s a psychological thriller. MC (underaged, hs student) meets a guy online for sex, the guy is crazy and dangerous, he laughs saying he can’t believe he’s sleeping with a middle schooler like it’s a joke, when MC tries to back out, he rxpes him and photographs it, prints it out to blackmail MC in school, and forces MC to sleep with him.
I’m never reading anything without reviews, wtf.
Rating: 1/5
rxpe
This was the issue with the other omegaverse work by the mangaka, but there’s a whole lot of rape and noncon sex. The characters are pretty unlikable too. It’s a waste of good art.
Rating: 1/5
nonconsensual sex/borderline assault.
Nakamura Shungiku has really popular series with large fanbases and yet not many are calling out how every conflict ends with sex and how it’s almost always forced on the uke. Like even if he enjoys it later on, if he says “no” then it’s a no. It’s disgusting to read through it.
Story is so dragged on. There is no communication and new conflicts arise while the characters do nothing.
Rating: 1/5
suicide, severe bullying, homophobia.
MC swaps bodies with bullied student, Taekin, and his unlikable ass cannot empathize or try to understand Taekin for the life of him.
Instead of addressing bullying, homophobia, and suicide, MC directs most of his attention on Taekin’s rude gym teacher who was his former classmate. There was no need for this romance, both MC and ML are unlikable + have no chemistry.
No revenge or justice, this is just infuriating.
Nonconsensual sex, sex under influence, manipulation
Every character in this work is a walking red flag. They’re obnoxious and gross. Not a single healthy relationship was included. I don’t even want to remember what I read.
Not to mention the character designs are the same as Fargo’s previous work which is even worse than this.
Rating: 1/5
nonconsensual sex/rxpe
Similar to Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, the seme literally rxpes the uke and it gets brushed over as the uke being a tsundere. It’s disgusting and unreadable.
Rating: 1/5
pedophilia, incest
Not sure how anyone is okay with this. Haru was 17 when Ren was 8 years old, and even though they follow the two after a time skip, it’s still pedophila. The only reason no one is saying anything is because Haru is well-drawn. It’s creepy to think about, especially if you have ever met an 8 yo. They may be a menace but that doesn’t make them any less of a victim. And don’t even get me started on the incest thing.
Rating: 2/5
rxpe, attempted SA, kidnapping, slutshaming, and so much other unnecessary crimes for the sake of “plot.”
There is no merit to this story other than the pretty art. Even with that, character designs are bland. There is a whole attempted rxpe scene for no reason, ML slutshames MC after he is assaulted, and so many other toxic behaviors. No love or chemistry.
Even the side story has noncon in it, you can tell the creator loves noncon and can’t write anyth
