I am so sick and tired of it! just when you think a story is interesting.. boom there goes the fucking unnecessary rape! this literally could have gone down ANY other way and still delivered the same plot. it's like these writers don't know any other way to develop a relationship between two characters besides a rapist and a victim.
I'm so lost i dont even understand the point of these side stories. all i see is stockholm syndrome and mc gaslighting himself, trying to please his ex-abuser/current boyfriend author shoulda just ended this
