I agreed completely
Otherwise agree except "Ryousuke is literally entirely at fault". Don't forget both of their parents! Ryousuke looked to me like 10-13 y.o. when he was first forced to fuck the omegas, and when he snapped he seemed to be 15-17. Years of "drugged"/omega-pheromone induced r@pe ordered by his parents would turn any kid twisted.
And other point: it's evident that uke was brainwashed/manipulated/traumatized/terrorized into doing exactly as his butler training said. It is no wonder that he has hard time acting...normal? and going against his family.
Both of them need therapy and love FAR AWAY FROM EACH OTHER. They're dependant on each other and it's fucking them up even more.
You said everything that needed to be said
also, in case you're still not convinced he's the absolute biggest scum on earth, I suggest you go read the side story "Midarana Omega wa Koi wo Shinai" and see what he's doing to other Omegas and how he toys with and violates them for fun, together with other alphas in his "circle". He's a whole ass abuser and doesn't even hide it! and he claims to love Seno?? I'm not convinced one bit. It's more of an obsession and wanting to possess him.
The main characters are his cousin Souji, and Nanao btw - one of the Omega's Ryousuke "owns".
Oh no I had forgotten that story! I thought that I couldn't be more disappointed
I really don’t wanna waste my time reading it, can you tell me what he did?
You voiced everything that I was feeling! Now I feel a lot more confident in dropping this.
I love me some psychological stories, but not the kind where there’s not one ounce of genuine consent given, not one bit that isn’t twisted, manipulated, and forced out of the poor victim.
right?? it's bewildering how much of an arrogant asshole Ryousuke truly s. No remorse, no apology, no guilt, and no respect or consideration for Seno's feelings or his position. There's only so much I feel like that can be forgiven... I don't even believe what he feels for Seno is genuine love and affection. He needs extensive therapy, and to learn how to actually love someone and EARN it back, not r@pe, manipulate, and confine them to get his feelings reciprocated
sorry I was about to respond to your first comment, but yeah having read the side story is another reason why I fully place the blame on Ryousuke. His cousin Souji is in an even more difficult position, being from the main family and all. If he can choose to be good and do right by the person he loves, then Ryousuke has no excuse. He even said that because he's from a branch family he has less restrictions. Childhood trauma can only justify so much.. most of his behavior is a choice! Souji had a terrible childhood too, but look at how he turned out vs Ryousuke - how Souji treated Nanao vs how Ryousuke treats Seno.... he takes joy in what he does and feels no guilt or remorse.. just an irredeemable bastard in my opinion.
long story short, he runs a "circle" that only selected/elite Alphas can join. He picks up Omegas who need money or protection, and in exchange they pass them around and do whatever they want with them. He even starts these cat and mouse games in school and tells everyone they can go chase the Omegas and r@pe them for fun... he makes me sick!
but the story mainly revolves around his cousin Souji who is in love with one of the Omegas Ryousuke "owns", named Nanao. They have a happy ending at least because Souni is a really good Alpha, not a piece of trash like Ryousuke.
Omg he makes me sick, I hope they don’t end up together
are we reading the same thing?? Ryousuke is literally entirely at fault here, no matter how I look at it. He's total scum and the butler is fully a victim! There's a few points ppl have brought up that I wanted to share my perspective on:
1- some are blaming the butler for forcing ryousuke to have sex with strangers when he was 13:
● do ya'll realize that Seno himself was even younger, with no power or say in what was happening?? he was following the orders of ryousuke's father. There's nothing he could have done or said that would change the outcome. He was probably around 11 or 12 y/o at most, and did what he was trained to do as a butler which is to follow orders.
2- blaming him for not being honest about his feelings etc.
● if we're talking about honesty, the blame should apply to Ryousuke even more. Why couldn't he be honest from the start, instead of choosing a roundabout way of r@ping him for years and manipulating him to "make him realize his feelings"??? that is a fucking evil and cruel thing to do if you ask me. Seno was in no position to have feelings for his master or be honest about anything. Don't forget that he has been influenced, brainwashed, trained and verbally abused by his own father to become a "perfect butler". His job doesn't allow him to have "feelings", and on top of that he's a beta! from where he's standing, there is quite literally no hope or possibility.
3- him sleeping with other men, etc.
● do ya'll not realize that the reason why he even started doing this to begin with is BECAUSE RYOUSUKE HAS BEEN R@PING HIM IN HIS SLEEP?? and "trained his body to enjoy sex"?? he would fuck people in front of him just to get a reaction out of him! absolute fcking sick scum! Seno even said himself that he randomly started having these sexual urges that he didn't know how or where they came from, especially because he's a beta. That fucker literally broke his body and mind! r@ping him, so that he'll eventually come to you for sex??!? make that make sense. also, as far as I'm concerned Seno is single and grown so I don't see any issue with him sleeping around anyways.. but the fact that he's so mentally broken that his body craves it but he hates himself for doing it and carries all this guilt.. it's all Ryousuke's fault. while he himself goes around fcking people and living his life guilt-free doesn't even feel bad nor did he apologize for everything he's done - literally toying with him in the name of "love". yeah miss me with that horseshit!
I'm aware that this is fiction, and unfortunately it's unlikely that Ryousuke will face any real consequences, but he deserves to rot in the pits of hell imo. No amount of suffering karma or punishment is enough to make up for what he's done. The only thing Seno had done wrong is to love this piece of shit!
