…Are you guys okay??

I have read my fair share of rape to love stories, awful but most have been digestible. Even love me some dark romance with a heads up!
This…shit right here was absolutely deplorable. Taeju is an evil motherfucker to the actual bone, I literally cannot imagine anything besides suicide that would make his damage redeemable.
As an older sibling I absolutely would put my entire life, dignity, and body on the line to keep my younger brothers safe. I’d be a prostitute in the blink of an eye if needed. It’s a common BL trope-fine. But including a child in the mix took it to a completely new level of sick manipulation. And even WORSE we shouldn’t be glorifying the perpetrator who raped mc until he bled and sexually exploited him while he was doing his best to SURVIVE. The explicit rape scenes with multiple “NOs” “PLEASE stop” “I don’t want to do this”…actual BEGGING?? It wasn’t even dubcon this was begging from the depths of his soul trying to get even the smallest ounce of empathy from Taeju (unsuccessfully). Have any of the readers or the writer been SAd? Those scenes were disturbingly realistic how much he pleaded for his life but was repeatedly violated. Taeju broke this man’s soul and yall think it’s cute? There is no redemption arc for people like that!
Even for fiction…are yall okay?? How does this not make you sick?

    Yessss - we’re not crazy! Rape is already pervasive in the mlm space which is disappointing on its own. But this REPEATED brute violence and undeniable sadness and helplessness coming from the mc was too much.
    If you can read that and reason that Taeju deserved anything other than eternal damnation…you might be beyond saving.
    It’s giving…casually passing by a woman being raped in an alley and not trying to help b/c you’ve internally normalized sexual violence. Maybe he’ll apologize later and they’ll fall in love?

    Like for real!!! nothing but the truth said here! I literally hope that the Mc never actually forgives Taeju because he already crossed that line so many times. The Mc felt helpless because of what Taeju did to him, especially when he was fighting on his own to keep his little brother by his side. He literally fucked up Mc's mind :(. Since the story has gotten to this point and ended this way, I'd rather just focus more on the Mc, his little brother and his newborn daughter. But you can never truly forgive actions like that and hope in an alternative universe, the Mc lives much happier and is able to be stronger, since this Mc was as strong as he could be to the very best.
