EDIT: I am a dumbass for not reading the comments at the top before reading this. Heed those warnings folks.
EDIT 2: I also predict their next victims/people who come for help/counselling will also include men, but that does not erase the blatant misogyny here. I get that the MC is not supposed to be likable and that he is a POS, so yeah, his misogynistic thoughts and views on his predominantly female patients line up with that, but I don't think the misogyny is going to ever not be there in this story. If it is ever present and permeates throughout the story and every woman is portrayed as hysterical overtly dramatic annoying bitches not worthy of respect then we know what the author truly thinks. Even if the character is an unreliable narrator, there should be some incidents that peak through to show that the POS mc is, in fact, unreliable. And if the only female characters that do get respect are ones that show more stereotypical male characteristics, then boy, oh, boy, the misogyny allegations ain't beat.
The horrendous amount of misogyny. The trigger warnings should include pedophilia, and implied harm to animals. Not to mention a child head stomping another child, and the despicable piece of shit MC being turned on and not stopping it. And yes, it is pedophilia, are you, an adult, getting turned on by a situation that involves a child? Yes? Pedophilia. I don't know what mental gymnastics and hoops one has to go through to say this is not pedophilia. I am not unaccustomed to reading dark shit, I have read a lot of Harada, obviously skipped all the pedo shit, I really enjoyed color recipe, but this shit is vile. Once again, the misogyny here is off the charts.
