None of your complaints actually makes sense. I read the exact same spoiler from your link. The only thing I gathered was that the Duke is most likely the serial killer (or possibly the Crown Prince) like I had already commented before as a possibility. Now, you're complaining about the story being dumb and toxic. I didn't get that at all. Sure, they're going around in Circle and the Prince could definitely improve on his personality. But, I think calling "shitty", and the uke "a typical virginal victim" is quite overdramatic and overexagerated. You might not like the story, that's fine. But be a bit more respectful towards people's hardwork. Especially when you're reading it for FREE.
I am so sick of Semes/MLs who are royal princes abusing their power to humilate/hurt/rape the hardworking struggeling Uke/FL.
I rather see stories about these bad boys/fuck boys being punished!
No excuse for it wouldn't be realistic because of the social hierachy...
Well the thing, it is a fictional fantasy setting and the royals in reality are actually not that powerful + untouchable. Let's not forget the bad boys/fuck boys are fantasy inventions who are given plot armors!
My recommendations where shitty princes don't win or get the girl:
Beware of the Villainess, The Pet Of The Villainess, Ebony, The Monster Duchess, Slow Prison Life, From Maid to Mother, Potion Tanomi de Ikinobimasu! Majo To Kiketsu No Kishi, Saving 80,000 Gold Coins in the Different World for My Old Age, Peerless Alchemist, Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou desu and The Lady's Butler.
By the way, some good grounded BL Stories:
HERE YOU ARE, Men Wear Store and his Royal Highness, Thirty Years Old
I agree on the hard work of the artist and reading it for free just like anyone else.
But I disagree on other things.
The plot is actually problematic just like many Harlequin Romance Novels.
I guess we two have different perceptions and values.
Wow...I knew it! Smh these characters are pretty bad written imo

The prince is really shitty, the Uke is the typical virginal victim and the duke is unfortunately not the good second ML...

I am done with stories about toxic and dumb characters.
