I can understand what your saying....I mean I was also having a churning ache in stomach while reading this chapter...? I don't know if it's my cramps or just the second hand uncomfortable feeling from this .... could've been better but I guess author is just setting the tone for Uno to bottom and Enzo as a means and jealous top? Dunno! But let's see? I guess?
Yeah, either way it's not gonna be the end of the world. But if the author went into the trouble of making it LOOK so discomforting for their first time I hope there's at least an interesting point to it, storyline-wise :/
I keep questioning Enzo's goal by raping him, since he seems perfectly aware of what he's doing. I can see the motivations, 1) he can no longer hold back his lust for him and that's expressed as a desire to dominate him, 2) he's taking out his anger and jealousy as he considers him a slut and by extension that he's being treated the same as his other sex partners. That's all yikes alright, but it's also true to his character.
But how does he think this will end, IF he even considers the "after" at all?
If there were any signs that Uno was into rough sex with him (like experiencing his first time bottoming and punished as a kink by Loren, but being hesitant to admit he likes it), I'd say ok this is just one of those smut narratives, but that's not it. He literally got sick to his stomach and his expressions are all those of fear, disgust and humiliation. So the author isn't sexualizing rape and is purposeful with how conflicting the two characters' emotions and experiences are during this, so it's gotta be important to the plot. I wonder how the author will handle this, how will their relationship shift from this point onwards..
And to think that if Enzo had treated Uno like a princess, he'd be down to bottom for him for sure. T_T
Disclaimer, unless I'm reading a realistic story, I don't always mind the use of sexualized rape/dubious consent/rough handling. There are stories where I'll ignore it or stories where I'll even enjoy it as a rare kink. Similar to occasionally feeling bad for or even siding with a murderer in fiction.
It's fictional, noone's being harmed, readers can feel various ways about it - as long as they understand fully that such actions are a CRIME irl and horrific ones at that.
