Uhm. Have you ever thought that this was ... on purpose? I mean, not all stories end well. Not that I agree with how the author did it, rape is a very serious issue. But you can see in the side story that the author can describe a healthy BDSM relationship. If you look at it objectively, it's almost funny in a pathetic way how all the "bad guys" get away with it. So yeah, I can just say it again, not all stories end well. That's what literature is.
I am so happy right now! Finally a new chapter. Thank you translator!!!
