Another Korean yaoi, another rape. At this point nothing surprises me less than when a new Korean yaoi starts with an innocent uke or Omega and it has a domineering seme or alpha who thinks "no", "please stop", "it hurts" plus endless sobbing means "fuck him harder".
I'm fully aware that there is an audience for stories with rape and sexual assault. But why must it also happen in stories that market themselves as sweet? Why have a title like "Cherry Cake" and a cover with pinks and flowers? Why can't we even get a trigger warning at the beginning of the chapter?
I don't think it's too much to ask for the read a story about 2 gay men set in Korea that doesn't normalize rape. But with each new Korean yaoi, it feels like an unrealistic expectation. Which is a shame. Obviously, I'm dropping this.
