ok theres a difference between a r*pe fantasy and actual dark fiction. dark fiction is well written, or at th very least has some type of motive / plot / goal that drives the story forwards, you dont connect with either of the characters, his financial status wouldve been a good way to kickstart that but no its just used to call demean or make fun or light of it, and ur expected to emotionally connect with main character, who is rich, classist, a cheater, and abusive ? and we get no other ways of seeing her in a different light or to sympathize with her outside of just her being an awful person and shown being stressed occasionally.. because shes an awful person.
can someone pls link me 2 the novel or spoil it for me like i need to know how the politics play out and also who the ml is
Here's the link to the English translated one

i hate this i was trying to be like ok maybe its not going to be that weird but i knew the second the brown haired dude THATS OF AGE AND COULDVE BEEN THE ML, came in and IMMEDIATELY the him and the KID were beefing. no reason u should beat up a child for this woman or see him as any type of romantic threat hes like 10
i was soo excited for this at first it seemed really interesting and the art is beautiful but it’s dragging on the same every chapter now of her being unhappy and him borderline s/a’ing her or straight u s/a, which yeah i know is how the greek myth goes but if this has a happy ending then it is really romanticized. free my girl fr
i know its so dumb to care about plot in a smut story but lowkey idk how shes so chill about all this cus like doing this nonstop IN A ROW like ik her pussy regenerates or whatever but omg get this poor girl a break. also i kind of hate all the mls but theyre really hot so idrc cus i guess in the plot they’re redeemable because they used to like her in some way which doesnt justify anything but plot armor ig
okay it was pretty obvious that yoshiki felt something for the former hikaru, and i always thought thats why he accepted the fake one or tried to because it was like a remnant of his old love, but that description of having someone to confide in that doesnt care (or even understand) how human values (aka homophobia in this instance) works, actually opened my eyes to their dynamic a lot more. i really liked that a lot
i want whoever thinks the ml is justified to watch white bear on black mirror, cus this whole debate really really reminds me of it
my personal opinion on the matter is that i think the ml shouldve just murdered the mc atp, like i genuinely would prefer that over any of this, and especially with how far the novel goes with this. clearly its not just revenge, the ml feels something for the mc that i cant explain as anything else other than a twisted romantic sense, or ownership. he wants the mc to stay with him WILLINGLY, not just forcing it, which is the exact opposite of if he were just doing it for revenge, is it not? because wouldnt you rather them suffering every moment of it, rather than enjoying being by your side ?
anyways, i get that this is someones thing, and its psychological, but i dont know. the whole thing with the dog and the pads and stuff really grossed me out











i jut started reading and nearly threw up where tf did he find a place for 250 USD a MONTH oh god im sick with envy
Like why can’t mc just suffer like the rest of us?
Come on guys! At least he's not in detrimental debt *cough* jinx *cough* WHO SAID THAT?!
