well. about the r*pe part.. it was a turn off for me too. but frankly speaking, in that era, being married meant u must serve ur husband. in that aspect JWJ never forced her that much to serve before. & YZZ didn't talk about her uneasiness with him too.
about that particular night, as they were both fighting & YZZ was not considering JWJ's explanation.. JWJ threw that option.. & YZZ accepted it & initiated it..
though I'm not saying what JWJ did was right. it was wrong & JWJ should repent for what he did.. but it was not fully r*pe. it was more of dubious consent as JWJ never would've harmed her family even if she said no. YZZ herself agreed with that much later..
don't hate me. I just explained what I understood about that part ( ̄∇ ̄")
-The story is dumb, choices where made
- The FL is likeable at the beginning, she gets some cool moments that i enjoyed but then she gets super mary sue, making irrational choices without considering consequences and her status (she escaped alone from the palace and went to the battlefield because wanted a change of scene, what? of course she gets kidnapped and puts people in danger but oh well FL is quirky)
- I don't mind the ML having other women at first, this is a historical novel, he's not gonna be some virgin. And i like harem drama. BUT-
- TW: he r*pes her, yep. And personally after that i couldn't enjoy the romance, plus the writing didn't make it that great to pass it by
I'm currently reading a novel that makes fun of this type of FL and tropes, I highly recommend it. https://www.novelupdates.com/series/after-transmigrating-into-a-short-lived-white-moonlight-had-a-he-with-the-villain/
