REAL. I’ve read some shit stories, but this is like top 3 shit. So many scenes were purely coercion and rape and MC merely let it go bc it was them who did it. I was horrified. I scrolled so fast bc I literally couldn’t read that chapter 15. I was ill. They did rape him, it WASNT ok just bc they’re dating. This story was so fucked from the beginning I should have known. This story has given me visceral ick unlike most garbage I’ve read. I think I’m so perturbed bc most stories with smut don’t take themselves seriously, it’s just smut. This one bothers me so much bc it tries to comment on their flaws/weaknesses/mental illnesses seriously. Their perspectives are retrospective and always analyzing their behavior, yet it glorifies their shitty actions, e.g. “it’s ok bc it was you, I enjoyed it bc it was you.”
I’m leaving this as a one star. I know the appeal is that they’re all messed up, but MC has such low esteem that he’s allowed ”bullying” and abuse to slide for his crush AND HE KNOWS. Grow a spine, you literally said you could live without them, do it bc you’re better off that way. I know this is fictional, but if so much turmoil has erupted in the beginning of the poly, it will continue until you’re nothing but a withered plant bc they’re merely parasites.
Random readers of my comment, if someone treats you like they’re treating MC in this story, do not stay bc you’re worth more than these losers who won’t work through their problems EVEN IF ITS FICTIONAL RAAAAAAAAA

I've never dropped a yaoi because of certain content, this is the first. That rape scene in the middle genuinely shocked me. That was so graphic and violent. Compleeeeetely unnecessary. Fuck this. Fucking wasted artistic talent for that piece of crap.
