We went from wondering wondering slowly for 90 chapters how the world works .. and then in the last 5 they were like, "so, this is what's happening, let's get going!" I was fine with the slow approach, this is really jarring.
Karen was at her side before, as a servant. Isela made her miserable. Isela isn't suddenly a good person because Karen is there. May be that her obsession with Raymond contributed to her being slightly better this time around
I dunno, everything else was tenuously consensual up to this point but now Little A is contemplating whether his partner consented, deciding he probably actually said No---and then going for it anyway. Everything else where consent wasn't obvious was kinda tied up in the weirdness of their world and easy to hand wave away but Ch 20 isn't that way. Vibe killed. Have fun y'all
idk we quite literally opened up the story in the first chapter w dubcon when little a milked Milton. the rationale there was the same here in that kendrick could be hurt severely if the egg laying doesnt go well.
Up until ch 19 it's all been consent in dubious territory, seeing that little A knows what he was doing but still decided to continue was crazy..I just put my phone down for a few minutes and reflected on it and decided that sleep was definitely better
I think it's more so the fact that little A is aware what he's doing wasn't consensual but shrugging it off anyways is what threw me off completely, at first I thought he was just incredibly stupid and genuinely thinking what he was doing was the right thing (still bad ik) ughh I hate the hypnotized plotline
That's what I thought at first too, especially after that bit when they showed that he had definitely experienced a seriously traumatic event. I had assumed that once we get tackle his backstory, we'll get to understand why he seems to not understand consent and why he seems so..Gullible? Stupid?
But know now that he knows what he's doing and then proceeds to brush it off ticked me off
Exactly my thought process, I was thinking maybe something happened with his uncle that's why he's a bit loopdeloop in the head....but no he was infact aware of his actions and I'm very thrown off this
I completely get that this was nonconsensual and that hes def getting gratification from the acts but I do wanna say that Kendrick is also part chicken and actively laying eggs while having trouble, chickens can get very hurt/sick to the point of death when they become egg-bound so its not like hes doing it for no reason. I mean we could def have the conversation abt consent around medical intervention (assisted suicide for example being highly controversial) but to act like Little A violating consent knowingly is out of character for him is ??? considering the first time he helped Kendrick it was when he was actively being held down by fluffy and pleading for him to stop

I also feel a certain way about this chapter （/TДT)/ I understand the thing about laying eggs being dangerous, the risk of becoming egg-bound and all, but at first I thought that after Little A put him in that catatonic state, he'd wait for Kendrick to "snap out of it" and *then* they'd have a talk about how he needs help and all.
I def wasn't expecting for him to go down on him WHILE he's basically under hypnosis
If it were me on Kendrick's place, I'd definitely feel HORRIBLE afterwards and even disgusting, I'd definitely need therapy for that if not something stronger. I don't give a damn if my life is at risk or not, if I am sane and said NO, it's NO until I feel safe and convinced enough to finally say yes. But idk, maybe I am feeling too much empathy over a 2D character.
No yeah I get it my point is that this story is riddled w dubcon and I think most readers have been able to not think deeply abt it bc the situation of bottoms pleading to stop or being depicted as very uncomfortable/non-enthusiastic abt sex has been normalized in bl......but I think this specific chapter is off putting in particular (even for me despite the stance I have lol) bc lil a explicitly says that hes choosing to violate/disregard consent at that moment. Like had he not said this i think more ppl wouldn't have thought twice abt this chapter. Also im sure you and most ppl aren't really familiar with hypnosis kinks either bc its not widely portrayed even in bl so like
I read non consent porn but I know that is what I'm reading when I sign up for it. For 19 ch this was a weird hypersexual world of human hybrids and Little A seemed to like, blackout intuition sex mode all of these hybrids. He even stopped the sex machine because he knew the cow man hadn't explicitly said he wanted it, it was an accident.
Here we have Little A completely and lucidly consider the consent issues aloud to us, the readers. He is concerned. But not enough to stop. The vibe is totally off.
Yeah, I think that's it. As another commenter said, Little A even destroyed the machine when Milton asked him to stop it, but now he's totally disregarding Kendrick asking to stop and continuing even as he himself acknowledges that it's not consensual, so it's a bit... yikes
I don't buy manga , full stop. But because the mixture of BDSM female led relationship combined with olden times setup, beautiful artwork with good dresses, not the ridiculous princess silliness, I really do adore it. Considering it quite a lot.
She's the saintess of a lust goddess, she accepts that, she's willing to have sex with them, just not at random in public places and they STILL make 50% or more of this rape. And she even calls them out for the rape and they cry about it.
In those shows, I came for the zombies. But it devolves into a slow drawn out elaboration on humanity's worst awful side. It kills my mood to see human on human harm for no other reason than just because they want to see the world burn and don't believe in working together.
I came here for the thought forms and the mystery of how her skills interact with them. Now I have POS humans and haven't seen a thought form with any threat to it in many chapters.
This is a pretty boring story without the whole mind control lust angle. Did they just use it at the start to get our attention into reading this standard stuff?
D:
Between this and Crimson Lady I'm getting all my miserable Female Lead buttons pushed. So rare to get gems like these.
Girl. You just gave me my next read.
Make sure to read Kill the Villainess too~
I recomend Roxana :3
Nooo don’t recommend that. It never completed and is one of the biggest disappointments because it’s on forever hiatus
@gidget the Roxanna novel is done. I liked the ending
When she finds out he did this on purpose, there should be serious consequences. I didn't come here for toxic relationships, I came for loving female dominance. And then the prince is actually trash. It's not submission to intentionally hurt your domme to get spanks
Yeah that was a shitty thing to do. ESPECIALLY right after the situation with her brother. Bro is only thinking of himself and his kinks.
You forgot that he's a Brat sub. His behavior is very much consistent. Being toxic is his all mojo. He wants pain and humiliation, he's going to do whatever he has to to get it.
Being a brat does not equal being an asshole
In a modern day BDSM relationship, being a brat and the top being a brat tamer is negotiated. He knows more than his wife about the lifestyle. He's taking advantage of her ignorance and her heart to get a punishment. I can want him to suffer real consequences, the threat of the end of the relationship, for his actions here. This isn't supposed to be the way it works in a HEALTHY female led relationship
He's been an asshole his whole life. His personality is shitty since the beginning... That's why I said that being toxic is his all mojo. He's a toxic brat sub that's going to do whatever he can to get the result he wants... Courtney is just the unfortunate victim that is being groomed to be "cruel"
I think you've been reading with pink grasses on. This story has NEVER been shown to be about a HEALTHY relationship.... I think you need to take the glasses of, empty your mind of expectations and read it all again to understand the story. Courtney was chosen for her potential for rage since her family dinamic was not healthy at all...
The prince went specifically for Courtney after he saw her lash out at her family in an event. Her rage and willingness to beat her brother up was the reason the prince went after her. NOT HEALTHY AT ALL
It has been healthy this entire time. He picked her for her spark, and they carefully navigated that energy before the wedding went through to make sure expectations were level. He's let her explore at her pace and been stupendously glad when she enjoyed it too and even looked into adding more on. I think my gaze has been accurate. I still believe the narrative from loving femdom shifting over to toxic crap I wouldn't recommend to anyone is abrupt.
I seriously don't see that. Yes they've been pacing HER introduction to it but HE SAID SHE WAS PREGNANT TO HIS FATHER SO HE COULD MARRY HER.... HE PICKED HER BECAUSE SHE WAS ALREADY LIVING IN RAGE AND HE'S JUST DIRECTING IT TO HIM BECAUSE HE KNEW SHE WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR HER NEFEW... HE'S BEEN MANIPULATIVE THE ENTIRE TIME... So I really really really struggle to see the healthy dinamic you're referring to.
I feel like this material may not be aimed at your audience? Because I'm in the BDSM lifestyle and I don't see what you're seeing. Let's just agree to disagree at this point.
Honestly interesting debate you two have going on , I can see both sides. I was more on op side because they did seem to have a healthy relationship , and he tried when it came to her. That's why it was so baffling to me this moment , he intentionally hurt her.
And about her rage , I thought he picked her for her potential, like he sensed her tendencies.And every time before a play he kinda prepared her ,with books ,information, or just a peak at what he wants.And he got CONSENT every time until now.
Ok. Agree to desagree.
