100% agree, but yaoi/bl is just another form of gooner content. if there wasn't any porn unfortunately i don't think it would be as popular. the author is popular from their last work and seems to be riding on similar vibes again.
sex sells, and unfortunately it's the wow factor that draws people in. (i also i think the author just might have a thing for abusive porn)

They always do sadly, you can literally make toxic stories with assholes without involving rape, SA. Like no one would forgive their rapist and fall in love in love with them. If this was written in psychological aspect yes maybe it could have been good. But since it's under BL which is "boys love" it shows that this author romanticize rape and shows that rapists are "forgivable"
Tbh this story would have been beautiful without the rape.. he could have easily just been a traumatized asshole. The writer missed that opportunity
