Wow king ur making so many good points.
I just thought the rape was JUST for shock factor but ur so righttt. The author is uses this event so MC would only feel guilt if he went out with that girl. Like only in a rare case would the MC have to push through the guilt to sincerely like that girl but we know that the author won’t push the story in that direction. :/// Mam that just pissed me off even more
Honestly, this whole rape feels like it was particularly badly written. First of all, why did it happen? The revenge target this time is a crazy idiot, but I never got any kind of sense that he was a sexual predator type of crazy idiot. The first target liked to physically torture things, so he was physically tortured to death. The second target WAS a crazy sexual predator, so his method of death was also sexual in nature, and as sad as it was, his abuse of his poor girlfriend made sense with his part in the story. This new guy? He force-fed bleach to some kid and talks about how great he is. Why rape the girl? Why not carve "I'm the best" into her skin with his knife? That would feel more in line with the character we've seen so far. What's his punishment gonna be now? Are we just gonna get a repeat of the last revenge kill since he is now also a rapist?
Second of all, I know at least part of the reason why the author wrote this rape, and that's because he needed to disqualify Kaname as a potential love interest, and chose literally the shittiest way to do it. Maybe it's just me, but using rape as a plot device to say "this character can't love or be loved anymore" just feels like it was written in bad taste.
