i only read the first two chapters, but what the actual fuck.
the way this author portrays the after math of rape really pisses me off to a degree that i cant even express.
im all for creative freedom, but fuck this shit

oh gtfo with that shit i never said its deep, its just fucked up.
authors usually commit to what they do.
when you have a goofy/downplayed portrayal of rape there is an equally bad unrealistic after math that follows- idgaf about stories like that, they just mildly piss me off, not my type of fiction.
but here you got a brutal portrayal of rape with a serious tone and and the aftermath had a compete tone shift.
narrative integrity hardly exists in yaoi, but its usually never this bad .
i know this is considered a classic, but is it actually worth checking out? or is it full of melodrama bullshit and poorly aged dated bl tropes.
for context i hated finder and thats also considered a classic
Imo It's definitely worth it, but it's full of drama and a lot of plot, and their relationship is really fcking messy (but so good). If you are here for the relationship only then this is not the place. Nobody likes Viewfinder that I know of, it's distasteful and outdated. I wouldn't compare the two at all.
im here for plot
Finder is crap but just very old, that is why you see it as classic. This is good. It has plot and anhst. Yoneda kou is always focusing on the stories not at sex.
It's worlds better than Finder, I think. I actually care about Yashiro and Doumeki.
