I think they are very aware of the nuances of dv and violent kinks they just don’t care, the author simply wanted to make a story with abuse in it. It’s not supposed to be realistic or an accurate portrayal of reality it’s supposed to be stupid goon material.
But it's not only stupid goon material. The first 3 chapters were stupid goon material. Then they decided to continue it. And now the mc is thinking why he wants to hurt the ml so badly.
Everything was fine until the authors note. I feel a dissonance between their intentions with this series and the direction it is going.
I think an author can both put their kinks in a story while also making potential legit plot line for it. I personally don't see anything from the author's note that makes it seem like they won't take the problems seriously to at least /some extend/. Two things can be true. Though obviously this is still a porn at it's core.
Now hear me out,
I know fans are giving this series too much thoughts that it doesn't deserve. But I'm one of those fans and in my defence, I would like to point it out that this series is walking on the lines between being serious about dv and being a dv porn.
Like for example, in the last chapter the uti guy seems to be aware that what he is doing is not right and seems to be concerned that why someone would put up with it. If that was the only chapter I read, I would have thought this is a psychological and the uke definitely has ulterior motives.
But after reading the authors note, I got even more disappointed in this series. Like they seem sweet but not very self aware of their story. Like maybe they wanted to make dv porn, but they don't have the nuance understanding of dv or violent kinks to not accidentally glorify dv.
