that whole kidnapping force them to "bond" in some way emotionally or something, kidnapping is so overused in toxic bls, to make them closer, like there are numerous ways for them to get close other than kidnapping, rape, SA, "one night stand" especially in omegaverse, that whole tag is just toxic asf but yeah, its unnecessary and then they make up bullshit why the enemy did that and keep pursuing him and then bla bla bla the uke feels something the seme realise shit bla bla bla

I feel like that's not the only purpose of the kidnapping plot here
It shows Mugo's power, how much outsiders know about the gods, and also gives us a glimpse of what the gummies true form is (ngl I did NOT expect them to be centipedes )
Unless I'm understanding it wrong and you mean Mugo "kidnapping" the MC

Soo basically it’s not forced and you just don’t like that plotline so you decide that it’s forced. That kidnapping was literally foreshadowed when they were out for groceries, the kidnapping also wasn’t JUST for them to "bond" like the other commenter said and explained way better than I ever could. Throughout the few episodes we had, the MC and the ML already had multiple occasions to "bond", the author is literally just making us take a few glimpse at how Mugo really is like, the plot is literally just setting up

So what i am getting is...
You haven't been paying much attention and not reading very critically, since there are many themes of abuse that have yet to be discussed but are still part of the plot to show us exactly what environment these character are living in and the circumstances of their current lives. The author has shown in their previous work that they don't condone abuse and there is a reason why things are happening to characters and why they make certain choices. Also....things need to happen for stories to progress so with the answer you gave you can say that every novel and story even written is forced. Anyways you sound pretty young so please don't read adult content if you're underage and please don't interact with content you don't like
oh wow, how forced is that plot tf
