That this overall scene in chapter was incredibly unnecessary like I could’ve done with kidnapping and torture maybe like a forced kiss I guess. That has to be better than this which is incredibly insensitive by the way because people read to escape reality sometimes what they’re reading isn’t always a great escape, but it’s different from their life so if you’re introducing trauma, especially trauma like this story, you should really try and do it as respectfully and there I say tastefully, if that’s even possible, as possible.
This is wildly frustrating because I really enjoyed reading this and while I will probably finish it I probably will not read another one of this authors stories because this is so utterly disgusting.
I have been reading BL for at least 10 years and off the top of my head I can only think of One or two other manga that pulls off this level of character redemption so well.
Not just that, but by far this character growth and the apology itself were so top-tier. I don’t think I’ve seen a better one.
Obviously, there’s a lot going on in the story and obviously the two characters are quite toxic toward each other, one more than the other.
That being said, I really love that. It demonstrates very realistic human nature. I would definitely recommend reading this assuming you aren’t easily triggered .
