Idk how the author went from something so wholesome and great to this shit, deadass. BUT, ...

Not saying the whole story is ass, but comparing it to dangerous convenience store... Ngnhb.... I don't know... ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

right lmao, got me fooled bcs the author wrote dcs

Idk I could tell something was up from the get go. The man is super strong, lacks intelligence, can't remember his childhood, screams like science experiment and raised in a lab or something. I also felt like the uke going for the seme that hard, like disregarding his feelings like that, felt abnormal to me (it wasn't in the usual hot and heavy yaoi way but like he couldn't understand why he was so attracted to him). I think he was spot on that he was confusing his fear with love, that's something that happens with trauma. I forgot the word for it but it's similar to stockholm syndrome. It was giving heavy "this story is going to be nothing but PTSD and trauma" vibes from the get go for me. It only started out "fluffy" because of the uke's amnesia and confusing his trauma response for love. Crazy concept to fall in love with the man who murdered your family and almost killed you, but I'm here for it as well lmao.

Did some Googling because I wanted to remember again, apparently it's just quite plainly "misattribution of arousal" and is a common trauma response, happens commonly with those with PTSD (they may find someone safe to be "boring" because they do not feel constantly anxious around them, for example), but there have also been studies done showing increased arousal (and misattribution of) from someone in an enviornment that causes stress, fear, anxiety (while some participants may have history of trauma, likely not all did). The first initial study which was repeated twice and yielded the same positive results (misatrribution of arousal encountered with participants of both) simply had men walking across a long suspension bridge. Super interesting stuff.

Honestly I thought this one would be great; don't get me wrong! I like it, but their relationship is so FAR away from dcs, and although it started fluffy, since the environment and ambiance is so different from the one in dcs; although that one was also quite bad... I understand it's going to be darker, but I didn't think the author would go this dark (but as I said, I enjoy it since it's okay but putting side to side to dcs honestly is so different lol). What I meant was that the author changed themes/tropes real fast and I'm looking forward to see more and hope we get more answers and they can be happy, to not, depends on what happens and what ml and Mc do. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
