Thank you for pointing this out and I’m so sorry that happened to you. Exactly rape is rape no matter what and romances - especially bl (I read a lot of yaoi) romanticize rape sm it’s actually worrying.
I fully agree with u
My thoughts exactly
Agreed. Idk if anyone has read Yours to Claim (it’s a bl) but the main character is literally raped and people are siding with the rapist because 2nd ML hasn’t had his backstory shared yet. I’m confused why people fetishize and normalize this
this is why I like the comic more (▰˘◡˘▰) in the comic it shows and says clearly they both want to do it.
To be honest I thought about dropping this. FYI if you think the novel will be good it’s beautifully written but HUGE TRIGGER WARNING Riftan rapes Maxi on multiple occasions in the novel. As a victim myself blatantly reading Maxi say things like, no, stop, it hurts, and Riftan saying I hate you, I don’t care, just be quiet was soooooo sooooo nauseating for me. Then when I commented on it I got attacked . How do you argue against if rape is rape? The fact these readers (of the novel) couldn’t even tell just shows how damaging “romances” like that are so toxic to women who consume them. “It was a different time period” ok? Rape doesn’t evolve with time, us holding men accountable does, that’s didn’t mean rape isn’t rape. Secondly this is a fantasy world with dragons, wizards and orges, you telling me they couldn’t have written out the brutal rape of the protagonist in multiple chapters? BULLSHIT.
Anyways the manhwa is great just warning people who wanna read the novel.
