I get that it's yaoi and I'm not saying this from a pretentious position, but this is just prison rape. I didn't hear as much hate as other rape filled stories for this so I checked it out, but I don't know why. Something just sits worse with me about a yaoi about prison rape versus regular rape, maybe because male on male rape isn't all that common, it still is prevalent but it's not a constant like prison rape. Like POTN or Jinx or Waterside Night are cartoonish in their storylines and characters, but this is a situation many people are actively finding themselves in, being forced to preform sexual favors for protection in prison, and that make this feel so much grimmer to me.
The first story just feels like it missed the mark, the concept of him wanting to be hurt the same way that he hurt the mc just doesn't feel right when we're talking about just rejecting someone in a homophobic manner. I like certain aspects of it, like how they actually showed the consequences of the rape, they didn't just skirt past it, but it just fell a little flat for me. Also the second story is fine except for the fact they showed the bottom crying afterwards and that makes something that makes something that was already iffy just straight up feel like rape.
