what’s the point of giving a bad rating on something w a good plot, just because it includes stuff that is morally wrong? it’s fictional. when you watch tv, do you give one star ratings just because the main character committed murder or something? no. separate the actual story from your personal morals. and if you can’t, then don’t read/rate it- it doesn’t automatically make the story bad just because there’s an aspect that you don’t like. it’s like giving a one star just because the main character wore an ugly outfit. without the cheating part, the story wouldn’t be the story; there would be no internal struggle for the character which would take away a huge part of what makes it interesting. I’d somewhat understand the ratings if the cheating had no effect on the plot, but it definitely does.
