Rape. This is another rape story. A mercenary gets black mailed into sex by a powerful and extremely fucked up Duke. It's a mostly complete story and the art is to DIE for. MC is such a beef cake and ml, while much prettier is still manly and muscled in his own right. The relationship is fucked up and yet it somehow builds into something at least one sidedly romantic by the end. MC's kind of in denial at the end? Also resigned to his fate waiting for ml to get tired of him only it's clear he isn't and mc is mostly fine with that. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
There's an incestuous royal family in this too, and MC really is just a plaything for the majority of the story. This poor powerful fighter just gets all his agency stolen. And it's somehow extremely compelling and had me coming back to this story multiple times despite my deep abiding hatred of rape stories (of any kind). This just somehow works for me. I cannot for the life of me explain further then what I said. It was just compelling. I don't hate that I read and (somehow!) enjoyed this. I don't understand. Try it yourself and see??? Like I quit at the first sex scene and weeks or months later just came back to it and then came back to it again to finish it. I don't know man! Form an opinion on this one for yourself, because I don't fucking know! ᕕ( °ᗝ°)ᕗ
