i dont really mind themes abt rape and i knew what i was getting into, but i just loathe a withering, physically and mentally delicate bottom who barely does anything in his trapped situation bc "oh he's just so helpless!" and eroticized rape that serves no narrative purpose other than smut. like the mc is suffering and being abused, genuinely WHY the fuck would i want to read several chapters of rapeporn between the victim and abuser. like the story clearly portrays the ml as a monster, and is obviously setting up some redemption (and hopefully grovel) arc, which makes me believe the author wants to explore a toxic, angsty, melodramatic relationship in a manner that doesnt sweep the abuse under the rug, but eroticizing the physical abasement of the mc for smut purposes imo diminishes the psychological gritty aspects of such a relationship and future progression. that said, im still interested in how the author can successfully redeem the motherfucker ml
