Some ppl in this comment section are so fucking booooring, live a little.

Sexually assaulted is rediculous. They have zero idea how shit actually happens in real life. The only actual sa is the kiss scene in the first chapter

And like, we got a lot of stories with SA! As long as it's not romanticized who gives a fuck? There are horrible stories whose in-world view treats abuse as it is irl and still has the characters making excuses for it, like, THAT is a problem, anything else isn't.
If the world-building of the story established that it was not regarded as abuse, that's a prerogative, you either abide by the story's prerogatives or you don't read! Imagine going into star wars and never accepting that in-world explosions in space are not going to work like in real life? Like, get out of here.



【ok, so, long answer:
In most ABOs, having sex during heat/rut is not abuse, but a medication; or most yaois in general, where it's established that the uke is against fucking with the seme bcuz of internalized homophobia and not because they truly don't want it.
Those are in-world conceptions, that differ from real life.
It's kinda stupid, sure, but in comparison, if a society establishes that a slap does not configurates physical assault, despite still hurting and being a form of aggression, no matter what outsiders says, they won't change it, and the people who receive the slap don't feel the aftermath like in societies that treats it as assault.
The same thing is done with S.A. in BLs. You strip it of all the visible negatives: the humiliation, the trauma, the fear, sometimes even the pain is entirely omitted. It becomes a mostly harmless thing, like pulling someone to the dance floor when they are unwilling and dancing with them until they start liking it. That's not exactly nice, but it's not a crime, and by the end there are no hard feelings, at msot a pretension of dislike from the party that was dragged to dance.
On the other hand, there are BLs that shows the aftermath of S.A. as it is irl and tries to convince us that that's OK in-world. That never works, that's effectively bad writing and (hopefully) unconscious romantization. It destroy the suspension of disbelief. You are suddenly made aware that the rape in-world is very much equal to the rape of real life, it is no longer a different entity. Not just a simple dance you were forced into enjoying, but an act of vile violence】
