Everyday I'm amazed by how authors can find find new ways to hit new lows in the creation of their personal rape-slop.

I don't know why I'm acting surprised though since I read the fuckass novel.

I should say, am I supposed to root for this relationship? Is this supposed to be a dynamic I should want to ship?

Like IDGAF about the rape. I've read "dark" stories with abusive and horrific semes and rooted for the relationship to work but like, what is to actually like about this pairing lmao?

This uke has ZERO backbone and let's the seme get away with anything he wants and the seme is just downright monstrous and CONTINUES RAPING TAEUI EVEN WHEN THEY ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP in the very next book.

Like, Ilay has functionally zero growth (his defenders will still find some fuckass blushy crushy moment and go "awww he's sooo softttt for Taeuiiiiii" and ignore the subsequent abuse) so like what's this dynamic even going for?

Not every romance narrative has to be about growth yet this work clearly isn't trying to be a Killing Stalking or a 10 Years I Loved You Most and WANTS you to root for this pairing. The question is WHY?
