He literally is a psychopathic asshole so it kinda makes sense to dislike him, I dislike him a lot and his backstory is no saving grace for his actions. But he as a character is just suppose to be that way so I don’t see him as a problem, more so the storytelling. I feel like the scene couldn’t exist and that would be fine… like this scene is already telling things that we’ve already seen and heard about. We know Ilya is extremely possessive and doesn’t know how to communicate his emotions well because he is a psychopath. We already know Taei likes him regardless of all the stuff he did to him. So why try prove it again? This scene is worthless unless you’re tryna explain it to somebody with the IQ or attention span of toddler. It makes this whole situation filler and doesn’t continue any further than what the reader already knows… so it’s just repetitive and bitter. I believe that darker subjects can exist in novels, but when it’s recycled or clearly written like SA is some normal thing that doesn’t have any consequences mentally/physically it just leaves a bad taste in readers mouths unless they find SA attractive (which is a problem of its own even if it’s a cope).
There. I've never want a character dead than seeing them suffer. It's kind of sad how Taei's character only revolve around sex and assault. Someone out there might be enjoying this or worse, being turned on as Taei is repeatedly being involved with this. Mind you, 4 chapters, just pure ASSAULT. Gosh, I don't understand how people are just...can like Ilays character?
