The story had so much potential, I hate this rape theme really good BL’s have:(
Exactly, the potential coming from this comic is so high and it’s one of the few action comics I like. However the rape coming from both sides is so unnecessary, not to mention that the relationship between them is already weird as it is. It disappoints me honestly:(
The art and world building sucked me, especially in the dungeon, I thought I was reading solo leveling for a second then smash lil bro showed up just to smash big bro who is musty af rn after all those ant guts...took me out but i need more(〜￣△￣)〜
While so far, it’s only happened twice, so yes, an exaggeration, this is wild as fuck. The plot itself bangs so hard, but then you got the fact that, first, these two are adopted brothers, so it’s pretty fucking sus already, and then secondly, one rapes the other, then the other way around when they meet again.
It seems Korean and Japanese BL is as every plagued by rape themes, and it really fucking ruins so many amazing stories I have seen. ESPECIALLY when its the “first time” after hundreds of chapters of slow burn, only for one of the guys to rape the other. So much time wasted.
Luckily this isn’t the case here. Still, I can’t help but wish to continue reading it because the story itself is genuinely great so far, but the rape kills all the enjoyment of such instantly, and typically I avoid works without sex because I’m sex addicted, and easily get bored without it. This isn’t sex though, and the story actually has me interested. It’s unnecessary rape which I know will be romanticised to hell and back.
Overall, things just don’t seem to work out for me constantly in BL I actually take interest in. I wonder why all of the few with stories that I actually enjoy must always have stupid fucking rape. I’m so tired of it. What must a man do to have good action based story, good art, and healthy fucking relationships in his webcomics? For fuck’s sake.
This is basically a vent at this point, but can you blame me when this happens over and over? Such a joke.
