Exactly. Dropped it from chapter 5.
Tell us how much more you approve of MLs punishing their victims like this by implying that these women who fall in love with them or have learned that fighting back only makes things WORSE are spineless. It's like you think being tormented to such an extent already isn't enough to satisfy the unreasonable requirements for a female victim to NOT be considered spineless. Quelle surprise. You also just implied that anyone who feels pain is spineless especially since that's a far MORE controllable FEELING than love. In other words I don't wonder why authors keep giving us 'dogshit' like this when authors keep reading comments that actually approve of the MLs actions rather than condemn them as the comments' writers oh so naively somehow still believe.
Did you think you really did something with this one? You seemed to have focused on the fact I called them spineless but did you really even understand what I was trying to get across? There are so many books with plots like this one in which we have a woman is taken advantage of and is assaulted and in the end she truly falls in love with the perpetrator. What do you think this is teaching to the audience? Is it really that hard to write about a healthy relationship where there’s no disgusting power imbalance and both partners are equal? Is it that hard to progress a sexual relationship in a healthy way? Because if that’s the only way to have the story progress, im not really sorry but that doesn’t make you a very good writer. There is a power in being able to continue on through traumatic events that I applaud the characters for but why are they all so warped? I know that I never would want to be in a situation where I was at someones mercy and i had no power. I know i would never truly fall in love with them unless it was some odd variation of stockholm syndrome. Logically it doesn’t make sense how one small good deed is able to overwrite all these fls have had to suffer through.
I know you can read so tell me where I approved if the ML’s putrid actions? Hmmm, because I remember calling the Ml disgusting, an asshole, manipulative and myriad of other things. Let me say this explicitly so I can get this point across: HE IS DISGUSTING, VILE, AND REVOLTING!!! HIS ACTIONS ARE SO AS WELL, I WOULD NEVER CONDONE WHAT HE DOES!!!
As a side note as well: feeling pain does not make you spineless. Feeling pain is a natural and human emotion and there’s nothing wrong with that. I’ve read through what I said multiple times and I don’t recall saying feeling pain makes you spineless. Most of the time these fls never fight back when in any normal situation someone would, even if it’s just verbally. The male leads will demean them and they’ll just sit there and take. As a woman I hate seeing women being written like this. It makes me feel disgusting and weak, to me it’s like it’s telling to be able to live a good life you must be submissive and bend to a man’s whim. I know you’re always going to have to choose your battles but that doesn’t mean you can’t stand up for yourself when you need to, but rarely do I see these characters do that. They just go with the flow and its so sad to see.
Here’s the short and skinny of it doll: The author can still do better and so can the audience that condones the mls actions. I wholeheartedly mean that
Let me count the ways i hate thee so: 999888836456623779525862963
This is dogshit. No this is an insult to dog shit.
All we have here are Asshole, manipulative, r*pey male leads and a less than mediocre ass female lead. Sometimes people really surprise me with the garbage they write. I have no hate for translation team, you’re doing great sweeties. All my anger is towards the authors that write these sick men and put the spineless women in situations where all they do is get manipulated and taken advantage of. I hate when they write disgusting ml that the fl is supposed to fall in love with, like even though he may have tortured, took advantage of, and used these women somehow they always fall in love with them bc of some minuscule ass “good deed” : “oh he caught me, even though he treated me like human shit i think i love him now.”...WHY! Why write such awful characters with a stale ass plot. Do better, write about healthy relationships without these sick power imbalances. I know you can do it, and if its because you think there’s not enough drama that you dont wanna write about a healthy relationship: no one said a healthy relationship is the perfect one there will be trouble but its about how situations are approached and how you grow and develop together as people. Its chance for two people to become their best them.
Anyway i say all this so to say :Do better
