I didn’t mention it here but yes I acknowledge the fact that Jace did in fact rape the duke which is why I said I didn’t like how the author used “rape” as a plot device for the main characters. There are a lot of yaois that do not use rape as a plot device as well. You’re clearly on the wrong side then. POTN is clearly one of the famous one but yeah I’m being a hypocrite for saying my opinion. I read both Shounen Ai and Yaoi so what if I feel uncomfortable reading this? Just stick to your own business then
Okay but yaoi is like hentai with a story. People read it to see the sex scenes, and to read something good. But if we go at a slow pace like most shounen AI mangas, the people would not really read it. That’s why they rush into a sexual scene the first couple of chapters. And how far did you read into this manga? Or did you stop at when the Duke forced Jace? But anyway, rape scenes will always be prominent in Yaoi. Because it’s more about the sexual content, than the actual story. I don’t even know why do people read yaoi if they get dissatisfied with a glimpse of dark fantasy in the story.
If you’re talking about how far I’ve read, then I did read this from the first chap to the most updated here. Well, I do read yaoi for both the story and the sex scenes but ofc everyone has their own preference. Yaoi has a broad spectrum in the way that I prefer yaoi that actually has development, not all yaoi is for the “sex scenes” alone. If you’re here for those scenes only, I respect it. However, in this case that’s where I got uncomfortable seeing which is why I said that I’m dropping it now cause I’ve seen enough already. To each our own in opinions :> I still do read yaoi but I know where my limits and preferences are
Reading the part where Jace got raped is so uncomfortable and heartbreaking to me cause he went through it TWICE but because the kidnapper did it, he’s the only one who is punished? The Duke also did it but he’s not receiving any punishment because “Oh, I’m the male lead in this story and Jace will end up falling for me”. Rape is a serious issue and the way the author just used it as a plot device makes it sickening. In any circumstance, rape is disgusting and shouldn’t even be glorified even if it’s done by the one you like or end up liking/loving. My case here is done, gonna drop it now :)
