Oof, okay. At the very beginning, I was on the side of “fantasy is just fantasy”, I admit it. However, after getting this far and definitely paying attention to all of the translation notes and how they point out the author’s mindset towards these topics... this is a gross misrepresentation of the bdsm community, normalizes abuse and touts a complete lack of consent as something arousing. Minho was supposed to be made into a hate-able character to justify all the horrid things done to him but, the level of abuse he’s suffered and his mental state are beyond acceptable.
Rape is definitely one of those topics that give dark stories their basis at times, and when handled carefully, can lead to a very deep, compelling and woeful story. This... this was rape-themed porn with an overabundence of violence.
I wonder if this is a product of the author’s environment? Could the author hate men so much she portrays them as monsters, pathetic manipulators, or victims? Doesn’t justify her publication, but I really wonder...
