Honestly... It's kinda trash

It’s a mafia story… did you expect the ml to be a green flag when he’s an outright bloody murderer?

No not really but I just wished he was nicer to mc...

Just because you don't like this genre/theme of fiction doesn't mean it's trash. You wouldn't survive the depths of ao3 with this. Just drop this, maybe you're not suited for this type of stories, if you wamted for vanillas and golden retriever type, find it at somewhere else

I also don’t know why would people expect the ML to be a green flag when he kills people for a living + he grew up hating the world. It’s a mafia story… that has actual murder in the story but somehow the rape matters more than the corruption, killing, manipulation, kidnapping etc

i put it rather mean in my comment, i am a sucker for mafia stories where the mafia is head over heals for the mc such as Dangerous Convenience Store. so i kind of hoped it would be like that. and honestly i am someone who likes to read stories with fluffy relationships. so lets just say this isnt trash for everyone, but that i just think its not good.

its just for me that i dont like the story''forgeting'' the rape (the rape was a bit glossed over imo, and not seen as bad), and rape just feels more morally wrong than murder. but this is just a personal opinion, thats why i called it trash. I expected a lot from this story since its rated fairly high. so probably a fault on my side!

Tbf your opinion is valid since not everyone is gonna like dark romance but the difference between this and dangerous convenience store (dcs) is with dcs from the start you can tell that it’s going to be a fluffy and wholesome whereas this one from the start you can tell it’s going to be pretty violent.

And in the beginning Ceaser attempts to shoot a child for just touching him so it shouldn’t have been so surprising that a child murderer is able to sa people

“Rape is morally wrong than murder” is fucked up. I’m sorry, but both are morally wrong on the same levels, but her if you think murder is fine then that’s on you! I’m just saying that it’s not normal to think that way.

“I expected a lot from this story”, probably just not your cup of tea like how I don’t like Love is An Illusion since I’m not a fan of child abandonment as well. Some people like dark romance and this story is hella dark with a huge weight of romance but that’s how we like it. I also expected a lot from Love is An Illusion since it is highly rated and praised and just bcs I didn’t like it doesn’t mean it is trash

I'm sorry but I get the feeling that youre mad at me... But anyways I'll just continue to give you my perspective on this..?

I never said that rape *is* more morally wrong I said that it *feels* more morally wrong. And I never said that I'm okay with murder. I don't like both but I made this claim because I'm more uncomfortable with rape than murder.

I agree with you saying that this is not my cup of tea. But this was just my way expressing what my thoughts were of the story. I couldve put it more nicely, but on the other hand I never said anyone else was bad for liking it? Me calling it trash was never meant to call the people trash who read it.

Overall I hope you don't take my comment too harshly or personal since that wasn't my intention.

Yes honestly it wasn't a good example for me to take, so my bad! It's just that rape just makes me feel uncomfortable to read if it's between lovers (?) if you can even call them that.

But thank you for not invalidating my opinion! I brought it rather harshly but it was never my intention to make people mad at me. I don't mind discussion but I don't want to fight here in the comments...

Yeah no worries ! Tbh I feel like people should understand that not everyone has the same tastes and there’s always gonna certain genres some love whilst others hate which is completely fine so I don’t really get why some people get triggered over opinions lmao.

I’m glad you’re able to have a civil discussion :) and word of advice, you could also ask in the comments section whether a bl contains sa or not before reading since it’ll help you not waste your time in the future

Okay thank you!!

Oh no no! What I mean is finally get what you mean. We just have different tastes, that’s all there is. We like these stuff, you don’t. Like how a lot of people likes Love is an Illusion, but I don’t. That’s all~

im glad youre not mad! even though we may have different tastes we can still agree on the fact that we both dont like love is an illusion! i didnt like it as wel haha

different tastes?? so it’s okay to enjoy rape ? i’m so confused with how ur backing up this manga. the rape destroyed it. that’s not dark romance.

Minors are not allowed in this conversation. Shoo shoo, go drink your momma’s milk

This blew up way more than I thought, my only point was that this genre of romance has a darker theme and mature content. Aint nobody said murder or r4pe is morally ok nor beneath the other. Its just that this type of fiction literally just harbors such content, nobody said that non consensual sex/rape is to be enjoyed in this content. Its just that it EXISTS, thats all there is to it, how are some people having a hard time to understand it.

Now if you can't take it, then that's fine, just drop this. If some people can tolerate this type of fiction (because its fiction) let them read the story. It also does not represent their views irl btw. You can't get mad at eating a chicken sandwich because it has chicken in it when you're the one who read it in the first place. I rest case

I meant order, since its a metaphor but whatever

Who was this comment meant for? Nobody in this comment section said that they enjoy rape??

I don't know if you've read my other replies but I already agreed with your point of view! This wasn't for me and I was harsh by calling it trash, it was just my opinion.
