So I was in a somewhat similar 3p situationship once. I was in a throuple, dating a previously established couple (both women). Eventually, I found out one person(we'll say Ashley) wanted to have threesomes and open the relationship, where as the other (we'll go with DJ) did not. Ashley turned out to be a very manipulative and disingenuous person, so naturally I started clinging to DJ instead. This created a lot of jealousy for Ashley, which was ironic considering how she bragged in the beginning about being incapable of jealousy. DJ and I ended up hooking up behind her back a lot, even through Ashley requested we didn't. Don't get me wrong, the sneaky dynamic was HOT AF, but I'm not a psycho so of course I had remorse for my actions. Eventually, I told DJ I was leaving the relationship all together, and that's when she confessed to the abuse she had been experiencing from Ashley over the past 6 years. Y'all, this woman had scars from where Ashley had STABBED her in the past with an actual knife. DJ begged me to take her with me and help her leave Ashley, so naturally I did. I would be lying if I said there weren't nights where I lied awake, terrified Ashley was going to break into the house and murder us both in our sleep. DJ and I stayed together for almost a year after that, but we ultimately weren't romantically compatible at that time and decided to stay friends while she moved back home across the country.
I would have loved to see a strong female side character who was a "girl's" girl and tried her best to help the other prostitutes until the end (of the story or her life). I know people don't read Yaoi for the female characters, and part of the story was how the system had the "pawns" at each other's throats, but it still would have been nice to see such an amazing Yaoi pass the bechdel test. Regardless, the plot was 10/10 and I will most likely read again.
I love this story so much, but I wish everyone would stop with the unnecessary rape scenes. At the very least, cut the scene short and show what PTSD from rape looks like.
No our ml is a green forest. The antagonist r*pes the mc when it isn’t even part of the novel, then those chapters go virtually unaddressed for the rest of the plot. I say read it but skip those chapters and the story is more true to the original. It’s just frustrating when artists add unnecessary r*pe just to have more s*x in the main storyline.










Yeah I don't know about this one.
I'll keep reading for now, but I don't like that he's actually locked up.
