Authors do this to make the assault not like it is a horrible thing. What I am saying is this author knows it's a horrible thing because of how they presented the action. However, our big boobie boy doesn't care/forgives him just cuz the top is a bit nice and this has happened before/bottom just thinks of it the same as punching etc. I just find it strange that the author knows it is bad, illustrates said crime but for the characters it just gets put to the side as if he kicked him of something. Especially, when their are plenty of other ways to get bottom to hate top that could be reified later.
EX. Puts a very kind gang member behind bars for a long time and he has a fam or something. This could be rectified by the very smart top speaking with judge or prosecutor about gang member.
That's what I'm saying, as soon as they start to get a little chummy and even after he does it again. As the top said as long as he is a little nice to him the bottom wouldn't even care if he stabbed him. Similar to how instead of facing the possibility of his ex gang boss possibly stabbing him, he just opens up a flower shop.
I kinda wanna give this a chance because ppl in comments seem to like but the r@pe so early was shit. The author didn't try to make it sexy, didn't even really show it and made it feel like how r@pe u know actually is horrible. If the author wanted us to hate or dislike the seme from beginning, their are other ways to do so. Or if the author wanted the uke to hate the seme they wouldn't have to do much as he was already a cop. Why am i 10 chapters in and the uke is already Lowkey chummy with seme.
I get that seme has gone through a lot, has been alone for a while and would unknowingly get used to another person's warmth. But as a reader it just feels really uncomfortable, r@pe is not anything new in BL but I really don't like it when we play it for laughs. Unless the seme later on in the story is on his knees begging for forgiveness and crying, I don't understand why anyone else should like him. And you know what you're allowed to like psycho crazy guys girlies, if that's the book boy you want to smash go ahead.
I'm also just not having a good time because two chapters in uke r@pe seme and after that all we get is BS investigative dialogue that I don't care about from the r@pist seme. And of course in between that little tidbits of the seme finding himself going back to the flower shop cuz he is already down bad. I don't know I just feel so bad for the uke.
