which is insane, cuz people will love the shit out of dark fall and the like..
atleast here they're both consenting adults
is dark fall even psychological? thought it was just "dark romance" wc explains the rape and humiliation kinks, I mean a lot of psycho works also has that but in the few chapters that I read of that work, I didn't took it as psychological since the MLs are too polished and the plot romanticized enough to make it palatable to a wider audience (hence why it's popular)
I thought the low rating was coz it's too fckd up for most readers but it's really just lukewarm for psychological, honestly it's just an obsessed top and an uke who's in denial with his obsession, there was an implied realization (I think?) near the end but it was so meh, I can't freaking feel the chemistry which is shocking since I like freak x freak trope. Might've been better if the seme offed himself and we see how that affects the uke, make him feel the weight of loss, ykno? since he didn't feel that for his ex-wife. I don't even know what the ending was, looks like they just returned to their HS setup except they're fcking now
