Are we just forgetting how he was molested in the beginning like come not say that it okay for him to do what he did but it happened to him even if the mc had no bad intention behind it so if you bring up one think bring up the other the mc didn’t apologise for what he did. So if both should apologise because both did sexual things without consent tho the ml was far worse.
from mc's pov it's like he has a condition that turns him on and whenever he noticed he was erect, he immediately avoided and left the train, no?
The mc did molest the ml and his condition does NOT excuse it, but I'm adept of the thinking "an eye for an eye" so just that bathroom scene after was enough "paying" for me, ya know. The rest, tho, completely unnecessary...
What? They don’t cancel each other out. You’re really weird if you think that raping someone to “even out the score” is acceptable.
And yet another what-could-be a perfect story ruined by the non-con, heh. If the seme properly apologized (at least, even tho it doesn't forgive the fact that it WAS rape) and tried to make up for what he did I wouldn't mind so much, but the fact that they just didn't care and completely forgot about it just makes the seme such an asshole for me.
If that scene just got replaced by some mean words being said so they'd part in not friendly terms it'd change absolutely nothing in the story and only make it more wholesome with them being so atracted to each other that they wouldn't be able to stop thinking about it.
Anyway, just my opinion. I'm seasoned enough to understand that some authors just would rather go with smut than a good story most of the time, but it was cute enough - 3/5.
