Y'all I'm not fetishizing or anything I just wanna understand to which extent peter went to...
Did Victor get SA'd in the basement with Peter?
There's no explicit warning for any of the flashback chapters but everything feels really vague and it barely even shows him getting beat up, I just can't wrap my head around what actually happened in the basement. At some point just beating him up has to get boring for Peter right? But we don't see him using any other kinds of physical torture like ripping out nails, waterboarding, whatever. Wtf was Peter doing the whole time in the basement with Victor?

Yes, pretty sure he was. Although not explicitly shown, it was hinted he was. I remember there was also a chapter where they mentioned his addiction to sex happened after escaping formicarium (don't remember the ch tho). So, his addiction to it is most likely a trauma response wherein he wants to feel superior/ in control whenever it happens, thus, he is dominant in bed.
Also, don't worry. You are not fetishizing for simply being confused. It's okay to ask questions.

I don't feel their chemistry. It could be any other type of character that the author lied to and it would probably unfold in the same way. Nobody really had a distinct personality besides the author, but I guess that's what the manga is going for?
Am I meant to feel that they're NOT actually meant for each other, and that the author is just settling with the student, using him as a rebound for his writers block? Cuz that's exactly the vibe I get off from this

the brother was such an important character until he just.... wasnt, like wth was that death. he was killed for no reason.
this whole story was consistent in plot but characters were horribly written. robert just fucks off to agartha and never comes back i guess, and theres no follow up on his dads company or how he moves on.
kister falling for johnathan was dumb as hell, yes its nice to appreciate a fan but thats literally all the interaction they had. theres no development at all to his feelings and cicero targeting a fan out of all things is just even stupider
Yess finally some actual backstory!! Valid character development and moments for why he's like this and not just some random bs
