Once again copying and pasting a comment because you dickheads can't read "No one “forced” anything here that’s the thing you’re ignoring. The author chose the setting and framing herself, and after seeing the criticism, she also chose to step back because she didn’t feel she could handle the material with enough sensitivity. That’s not “cancellation,” that’s an author making a decision about their own work and capacity to do it justice. The idea that authors “shouldn’t have to cancel series because of criticism” doesn’t match reality anyway. Plenty of problematic or tone-deaf BLs do keep going despite backlash, because the author chooses to continue and the publisher allows it. So clearly, criticism doesn’t automatically stop anything it just exists as part of the feedback loop. At the end of the day, publishing a story isn’t a one-way entitlement where you put something out and get immunity from response. You can’t demand an audience and then insist that audience has no right to question how sensitive or harmful the framing is."
I keep saying it because people can't fucking read and keep bringing up the same topics that have already been addressed to defend the story. And maybe you if read the comment you would have seen the part where I say "Plenty of problematic or tone-deaf BLs do keep going despite backlash, because the author chooses to continue and the publisher allows it.

The irony of calling everyone else "uneducated" while ignoring what people are actually criticizing bruh
No one said Chapter 1 literally condoned slavery. The criticism was about the premise which was a romance between a former slave owner and someone introduced as his SLAVE. People are allowed to judge a story based on the setup because the setup tells readers what kind of story it's going to be. You don't have to wait 50 chapters to decide a premise is in poor taste. If someone announces they r writing a romance around a real historical system of oppression, people are going to have opinions on that from the moment its introduced

I can't fucking believe that you uneducated pigs actually cancelled and got offended after JUST ONE EPISODE when all it did was set the plot within the historical context of what happened back in the day.
At no point did it condone any of the things you're saying like ??? YOU HAVE NO READING COMPREHENSION.
