Oof I have a lot of problems with this story. First of all, this not how actual bdsm is, I repeat, THIS IS NOT HOW BDSM IS. Consent and aftercare is very very important.
I’m not gonna lie I didn’t hate the MC but she was very toxic, manipulative and constantly raped/performed acts without proper consent. She needs therapy more than a new sub.
Nothing could redeem the professor’s (forgot his name sorry) actions for me. He was emotionally abusive towards the mc throughout their “relationship” (not to forget physically abusive). Do I think him being raped repeatedly was deserving? NO. No one deserves to be raped.
The main male lead: boyyyyyy, you don’t fall in love and be willing to do whatever the person who popped your cherry says. He was such a one-dimensional character, no matter what the mc did he crawled back to her with the “I’m in love you” excuse. Like I expected some growth, some character development to see him grow enough to be like no this isn’t how people should be treated buuut nooooo.
The male “master” was a shiity person as well. I feel like my thoughts through this whole story was RAPE IS NOT OKAY. People deal with the own trauma in various ways but that doesn’t make it okay to physical abuse and rape people because of it.
Actual doms are not like this and should not be like this. I get that this fiction but it’s basically advertising bdsm as just sadistic acts that bring pain and suffering to people without any consent.
I was looking forward to reading this just on the mere hope that it’ll be a good representation of bdsm and dom/sub relationships maybe with a good love triangle, but no I was slapped in the face with rape after rape after rape. I continued to read it just hoping that it could somehow redeem itself but naaah. Also silence is not consent nor is coerced consent.
