Painter of the Night(Yahwacheop)
one of the strangest power imbalance + enemis to lovers stories — SO much sexual assualt in the beginning but ends extremely lovey-dovey... i understand trauma founded the misdeeds in their relationship, but i'm tired of the "extremely kind and understanding bottom who forgives the top repeatedly raping him" trope. it's just a bad sentiment to convey in a romance story with a happy ending. all that being said, the art is fucking incredible and the story is pretty interesting, though difficult to follow at certain points. i'll probably reread someday.

"youre awful because you kidnapped and repeatedly raped me (correct and valid)" → "wait... we dated in high school?" → "i love you and i need to fuck you right now 24/7" →"you're not the you from 9 years ago? kys!" →"nooo babe you killed yourself?? i was jk!" → "lemme cover for u raping and kidnapping me rq even though i want our relationship to end permanently" → "bestie i love you and it's really not stockholm syndrome i promise" → "lets move in together yesterday and love each other forever and ever " → happy ending ???
