I'm only continuing this out of curiosity to see how it's handled, but I'm glad I'm not emotionally invested in this series since it was pretty bland to begin with lol
This was my exactly mentality. This guy showed up halfway through a chapter and they rushed that r*pe scene like it was from a completely different book. I have a strong feeling it will be treated like it's nothing and I'll drop it anyway, but if there's a small chance it gets taken seriously ill wait and read it. I'm just so disappointed
It was outta left field even for me lol
Like, when he initially backed off after trying to force a kiss I was like "ohhhh so nothing is going to happen, but there might be a chance to see a jealous side of the everlasting-sunshine-firefighter" since the chapters so far have been pretty milquetoast so far.
The rape was a definite "well that escalated quickly" but in the most disinterested way for me lol
'Cause at least there's some sort of build up or something?? Like, I can't describe exactly what I'm meaning other than this went from a goofy romcom about a yaoi café employee and his crush on the himbo that stumbled upon said café to just nonsense.
And it's sad 'cause when the owner finally showed up I low-key wanted to see a potential story about him and his yaoi-turned-to-real-life story, but now I'm scared that if that happened it'd be between him and the VA.
I was already giving this a mid rating 'cause it's just a casual read with no need to think too deep about it. I've since dropped the rating 'cause ch. 4 is just unnecessary and makes 0 fucking sense lol it's like the artist went "OH YEAH, I FORGOT THE MOST COMMON TROPE!!" and chucked noncon in as a last second afterthought.
