I absolutely agree. I've realised recently a lot of my feel good and safe space stories are just becoming toxic, and for some reason violence (in many forms) is becoming so popular. Such a shame :(
I AM some people unfortunately but I still can't handle this on a manwha I love as well so imma also b dropping it for like 5-10 chapter until it's resolved ╥﹏╥
I’m sorry love, I guess you definitely feel the sentiment with this. Sending you all the positivity and hope life is going better for you!
Yesss, I’m really seeing an uptick with this trend. Wholesome and feel good mangas or ones that seemingly reach a positive outcome suddenly take a sharp turn to violence and trauma or (surprise surprise) rape plots which I hate. I’ve been having to fall back on reading more novels than mangas/manhuas.
I've been moving more towards novel's too :( I feel like there's been a trend recently with the r*pe, physically and mental abuse. I do think it started gaining popularity after sadistic beauty and the side story. The timing checks out, and there's a lot of stories that are extremely similar to sb. I keep getting recommended these types of manga through tiktok and twitter. In the last I'd say 4 months? There's been 3 new mangas where the top has just snapped the bottoms ankle and locked him away. It's becoming so normalised :(( one of my safety mangas is SIGN. I need those types of wholesome love stories!!
I'm so sorry for my ranting too! It's just so refreshing that other people are seeing this, and I'm not just being dramatic or overly sensitive. Sending my best wishes x
I completely agree, this past year the authors have been on another level of madness. I LOVE Sign, I always reread it to bring back the warm fuzzies! And I’m not squeamish at all but even I have to put my foot down when every single manga starts to follow the same trend it gets a little ridiculous.
This is pissing me off so hard core that I am going to have to drop it until this is resolved. I don’t care how realistic this is for some people, unfortunately I’m not some people and I handled these types of manipulators much harsher in my life. I picked this up to escape reality not be hit in the face with reminders. Fucking hate when they do this to my feel good mangas. Okay, that’s all, just wanted to rant.
