u just talking to talk being reckless doesn’t justify that shit. bad communication ain’t an excuse for everything, and it feels like the author just used shock value instead of actually developing their relationship
So you clearly just skimmed through what I said or didn't read at all.
Cause I clearly stated what happened to mc isn't justifiable or his fault .
Tho he is very reckless and being reckless as he is played in well with what happened.
Cause he lived a very reckless life and u can see that in glimpse too.
What I don't like is the need for how ml is handling the situation cause that could of been done differently.
But it's also understandable why it's handled the way it is .
(Shock value well that's up for debate actually)
Im trying to look at the "Why"s in this bl)
And not just looking at it flatly.
Being I'm over analyzing this and it's just flat .
But I'll wait and see for future chapters what goes down
Maybe I'm over analyzing*
I'd redirect you to my comment if I could but I'll just copypaste it hereeeee this is a thought many people share and a real frustration in the bl scene. You can continue reading and enjoying the work though it's your opinion :3
I came back to this again because I'm STILL PISSED OFF. I'M FUCKING TIRED. Rape is such a serious thing it impacts both the physical and psychological health of a person. Honestly reading it I was horrified because the face of pure dread and horror he had was horrible. And you're telling me he gets abused after this traumatizing scene??? Like why establish the gravity of such a situation only to lead to more horrible shit and I'm betting you my first born that 10 chapters later it will be like nothing even happened. And we'll get a happily ever after. They'll do like any other author and shrug off the long term consequences of such a thing. I wish authors had more INTENTIONAL WRITING. I'm not against rape being written!! But write it properly!! It's undermines real victims and the severity of it. A well written story can develop a situation and make it impactful. But this is just rape for shock value and relationship conflict. And FYI for those saying you don't sympathize because he was "emotionally" cheating or making his boyfriend jealous, it still DOES NOT justify him getting raped. If you write something devastating, treat it as it is!!
Also a good example of a story that handled rape well and was well written is Getting Hit On By A Kinky Guy !
Yeah he did emotionally cheat but he was still raped and taken advantage and I dont know why people are undermining that part .
I do really hope and want to see if author will actually give us more substance rather than just another abusive slop bl.
Cause this could honestly go hard.
Im seeing a lot of "alot of potential wasted "
This is "slop"
Okay so I'll agree on the potential part of this , cause this could of been so much more than what author gived us and even better.
Sadly it's not .
So I personally don't think it's slop and I also think everything actually makes sense somewhat.
Here me out, so I'm sure I said this before but looking back on past chapter's MC and ml relationship wasn't built on communication.
Mc would be reckless then ml would punish him for it and that would be how they resolve things .
Chapter 17 ,mc does something reckless, chapter 18 is how seme reacts and deals with it .
Is seme right (hell no)- bad communication.
(Tho he was asking questions while MC was lying)
But I can justify MC action a bit here it's due to him not sure of what exactly happened and shock he didn't had time to sort out what happened.
Is mc right (no and it's not his fault either it's partly his fault)
His fault for entertaining another dude and not answering calls.
Tho ik he was just being his reckless self .
But now he learns that they have consequences to his reckless behavior such as what unfortunately happened to him .
I truly and personally want to see how this unfolds and what happens in their relationship and if they will grow from this and if so how.
I also want to see how this affects their bdsm relationship and how it affects mc has a whole .
