And honestly, it is so good. I love both the MC and the ML. And the love and care they showed for each other omg. It's the first time in a long time that I've read a BL novel that gets me giddy at their interactions and at the development of their relationship.
I forgot, what is this prophecy thing they are talking about? And who is the person who msfe the prophecy?
STAYED ON THE TOILET SO LONG REREADING, I HAVE AN IMPRINT. ITS BACK!!!!!!
Yo what's up with his ears? Now that I've noticed them, I can't unsee them. They look gross
haha I was just like you but learned from these very comments that its a real condition boxers and other sports players have called cauliflower ear
Its called cauliflower ear some athletes (boxers mostly) have it it’s the cause of ear injuries
Oh okay, thanks I thought it was just the authors style
It's called boxers ears ... almost all fighters have them like this because of the fighting
they are called cauliflower ears. Common martial arts. It happens when you get hit on the ear, causing fluid to build in your ear. Its irreversible
ML was a piece of shit and MC was as interesting as a doormat. I actually would've enjoyed it a bit more if MC grew a spine and ML learned some kind of lesson. This spoiled dude gets away with everything. Honestly, so over with dubcon and rape tropes. MC is even more of a doormat in payday...
I keep seeing people defend books that include rape with excuses like “it’s just fiction,” “the plot is good,” or “I’m here for the worldbuilding.” But here’s the thing—rape is bad, period. Fiction or not.
What’s wild is that some people actually have a fetish for it. Because if you didn’t have even a little bit of that, you wouldn’t feel personally attacked when someone criticizes rape in a story. No one’s saying the book itself is terrible, or that the art or worldbuilding suck (though it’s kind of early to even judge that, honestly).
What people are saying is: we’re tired of rape being at the center of so many of these stories. And when defenders claim “it’s about revenge,” I just have to ask—why is rape always the go-to way to show that? Isn’t there literally any other way to write a revenge story?
I completely agree with you, using “fiction” as an excuse, and when that doesn’t work, they just start throwing insults and act oblivious, then victimize themselves.
true, it is bad. and even in fiction they should make it a point to show it in a distinct negative light rather than fetishizing it or making it look "hot". Revenge is just a way to facilitate the excuse of rape. It could have easily bad nightmares, or increased accidents or bad luck in general. In fact, I think a story like this which started out with a strong rooting in its lore didn't require smut at all (but maybe thats just me), and could have been conveyed through character interaction alone. Especially considering it originates in China which is notorious for censoring below the neck action.
