they alw say they're gunna drop but end up reading the whole thing. I think its to save face and not wanting to associate w controversial stories

Ikr ╮(￣▽￣)╭ i mean dog blood plots are very popular. But for this reason I like fantasy romance more, where there's plot focus as well as development of feelings focus. Otherwise some red flags like possessiveness, dub con etc is fine by me lol

Why do you care about what other people want to drop?? If someone is the perpetrator of rape, domestic violence, abuse, or murder, why should they be redeemable. And in most stories, their toxic traits are always romanticized or the characters are depicted as being tsunderes. If you like copy-and-paste male love interests that have no personalities expect looking angry and being abusive, then do you. But don't feel ashamed and then project when people say they aren't interested in the same things as you.

I think you need proof of that generalization, I've dropped POTN, that story with with green-eyed-blonde and yellow-eyed-black hair love interests, Pearl Boy, and many others or skipped to the last chapter to see what tf is going on. I don't think as many people are into abuse and fucked up shit as you think they are. Your interests aren't at the center of the universe so stop thinking people are lying just because they aren't interested in the same things as your narcissistic ass. Y'all are the type to defend shotacon shit just because its fiction. If people critique you for what you like, suck it up.

ermm im totally fine being critiqued. I don't support unhealthy relationships. my main point was that ppl read fucked up things bc in a way ur interested even if its fucked up?? like a car accident, u don't wanna watch but its hard 2 look away.

I care because it's annoying and discouraging. It's really really funny that you look at these characters and go 'they are people'. They are not, they are just a part of a bigger story. I have dropped some myself but I don't drop stories because a ML is not a perfect green flag. That is what annoys me. I read a yaoi story in which only 3 chapters were out - MLs are vampire and merman and they accidentally get into a blood pact. The seme makes the uke questionable things but mind you, they haven't had sex yet.
There were so many people saying they were gonna drop it. I don't get it! If it's triggering, just drop it. Most stories have a TW in the starting.
Second of all, nobody in their right mind reads a dub con story because they enjoy it?? Even I have my icks, I can't stomach incest or huge age differences. But an ML not being a green flag??? Really? That is being sensitive.
I read and liked Killing, Stalking and Caste Heaven not because of the story themes but because of the storytelling. To see how it all would end! There is a difference in appreciating a story to enjoying the acts in the story - which a normal minded person wouldn't.

Right! Possessive or just trashy MLs getting redeemed ESPECIALLY if they have a good arc is so satisfying to read!!

Why are you getting so defensive? Aren't you also generalizing that people don't go back to the story after not initially liking it? Calling someone narcissistic because they made an observation, sheesh, calm yourself and read some fluff.

Nobody here is defending shotacon - you are again making a gross, not only a generalization, but an accusation. What exactly is your problem if I find it annoying that people are dropping manga before even giving the manga a chance. It is very discouraging for new readers!

w8 there are no brothels in ur country?

Hmmmm... Not to answer your question but to correct (??) your statement 'it's downright illegal my country' Maybe it's illegal in your place but not in mine. It's perfectly legal to hug.. Kiss etc in public but most people don't do it because of societal restraints..since it's still considered 'unethical'. But i guess the younger generation don't really care about that much anymore.

There are and it's illegal. Not like in the mangas where you know it's actually considered an occupation??

Younger generation really don't and it's real, here in the southern part of India, the police like keep around couple hotspots and they interfere when they see couples getting handsy

Reminds me of bajrang dals harassing couples

Yes.. I was in the south because of my studies and i could see that they're still more conservative there.
I'm from the north east and here, it's completely legal...unless u cause public mayhem and trouble for the others.

Yep. Very true.
