I agree with you. this is the reason why I don't give any thought about what happens in the beginning of the most BLs. I see them as 'paying motivators'. most authors put hardcore sex in the early chapters so that readers would buy other chapters for their curiosity. these scenes doesn't add the story anything because they are drawn to be meaningless. then they move on to the 'real plot'.
that’s an opinion a lot of people disagree with
This is definitely one of those Mantua where the r@pe has no business being there and is completely unnecessary. I just don't get it, you can write him as a psychopath and have a terrible personality. But any cute or wholesome things that happen later, just dissipate when you think about how the story started. This is a story, this is BL, this is nowhere near realistic but some things are just too unrealistic to get past sometimes.
I just don't understand this author's thought process whatsoever, I've seen this happen so many times. The r@pe doesn't even make any sense from a writing standpoint. It's like these authors just put it in for the hell of it or we're going to do something completely different but now it's too late. Like thanks for ruining something that could have been not s***.
