Thank you, I couldn't believe that fucking ending. The uke gets raped but than the seme comes home and uke is like "hey honey, how was your day? Nothing special happened with mine" like wtf? Besides that old bastard being behind everything but he just rapes and is in his way with no consequence. Like maybe he will get bored and make raping the uke a regular thing the uke seems like he wouldn't care, maybe he can rape the seme while he is at it since it's nobig deal. I had liked the story before but it ending like that ruined it for me
I remember reading this when it was being updated and thinking it was such a shame it was ruined because of fan service. Now when I binge read this years later I still think about how good it could’ve been, how much potential it could’ve reached as a compete work. The main things I think were:
- Samuel getting off when James was speaking about his past on their allians mission which mainly felt like forced fan service
- Them making out before making it so safety and being caught by Rugal (just a commonly used irritating situation), also a type of service
- Brett being with a high schooler (minor), I feel like they could’ve aged up or aged down either if them to be more appropriate since everyone important had fake identities anyways
But mostly:
- Samuel feeling James up before freeing him from the chair Rugal tied him to and SA’d him, this is where is felt the line to the typical quality reducing fan service you can turn a blind eye to was crossed (this is when the overall impression of the work is noticeably damaged)
- The Rugal James SA scene in the EXTRAS…completely unnecessary to the story since it was already over and I honestly don’t even think this can be justified as ”sketchy” fan-service, it’s just bellow acceptable and disgusting. The way it was followed up by James dismissing it, Samuel moving on and getting intimate immediately after, and Rugal having absolutely zero consequences and it being framed like he was ”doing them a favor by letting go so they can live in peace” is so contrary quality wise to how the series started and even carried through almost to the end. The fact that it was also the last chapter/s makes it even worse as it leaves a negative impact on the overall impression after finishing the series.
The plot was good, promising, things were suspenseful but also making sense and adding up in a beautifully crafted way at the end so it’s really such a shame it turned out this way.
