toxic, abusive relationship; mc desperately needs money for his hospitalized grandmother.
mutually dark and twisted dynamic between the main couple. uke is physically weak and half-starved, and generally a complete mess
severe financial pressure resulting in isolation. overworked, SA’d/abused, and deeply traumatized. one of the more potent on this list
very severe sexual trauma, stifling home environment. has some comfort, thanks to a separate ML who treats him well.
much more of a comfort story, but i think the uke’s background makes him qualify. lots of feel-good angst
uke is actively dying, and his body’s falling apart. cheated on by his lover of many years.
tragedy
mc struggling with depression, multiple suicide attempts. bears self-harm scars
suffered from severe sexual abuse, and continues to relive his trauma. however, the main seme is very caring.
good lord, this is good. chapter 5 fucking killed me in my own room.
uke becomes victim to sexual assault. alpha ml treats uke like garbage, eventually comes back groveling for forgiveness
