Dawn of the dragon was also about grooming and dubcon??
I mean not really? It didn't have every chapter starting with a trigger warning. The backstory development was definitely kind of handled poorly by making their dynamic overwhelmingly parent/child coded but you people really need to stop calling everything grooming when it's just an uncomfortable age gap that you don't like lol. At no point did he have inappropriate thoughts about him as a child. Like the criticisms are deserved without needing to use a term that doesn't apply.
Maybe it's not grooming but they started out as the main character meeting male lead as a child, took care of him, and even acted like a parental figure. There's nothing to be disappointed because from what I remember, in dawn of the dragon, the ml turned into a kid for a day, mc had some in the gutters thoughts, then they had sex the next morning
i liked the authors other works but this is just so generic, rapey and boring. at least their art is still great but damn. kinda really disappointing
