And this one goes into the one star category as well. So effing tired of this r*pe trend, ...

I'm also very tired of this, it is almost impossible to find a good bl that doesn't contain rape. So many bl where wonderful and at some point, for no reason a rape scene is added. Of course the rapiste is never punished for his crime, the victim always moves on super quickly, like being raped is nothing. Authors are so fucking lazy, I hate it (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

Comments like this are kinda sending me bc this is an illegal website lmfao none of us are contributing anything here we’re all basically leeches. The author dgaf about our broke asses

So does it mean that I can't complain about having my expectations ruined?
I do buy some other titles on original platform, but titles that I am not disappointed by, and that imho deserve my money.
Also, I can tell you that korean authors do not care about international paying readers. Maybe now that there is a comment section on l*zhin US they will care more, but I still highly doubt it, because outside from korean social networks, they don't go out of their way to see/read what their English speaking audience think. It was the same back in the day with japanese authors.
Maybe having some authors on twitter helped with making them see that some tropes are just toxic and annoying, but they are just not the majority. Most of them are elsewhere, listening to a fandom that loves romanticezed r*pe as a trope.

Ok man sorry i hurt your feelings. I’m just saying it’s funny seeing all these self aggrandizing comments like “this deserves a one star” when you’re a non paying reader and contribute literally nothing to the author’s data and livelihood. And also saying “korean authors need to stop” lmfao stop what? Making the stories that they want to make? Why should they need to stop for the sake of a leech like you? Just read something else man that’s all I’m saying. I get a paying customer getting annoyed about not liking something they paid for but you’re literally not paying for anything.

And when did I say that you’re allowed to complain? I’m just saying your comment is FUNNY. Because it literally is. It’s funny to see you acting all self righteous when you’re reading in a fucking illegal website FOR FREE. By all means continue making comments like this if you like the smell of your own piss and farts so much but people also have the right to comment on your shit

Don't worry, you haven't hurt my feelings. My comment was just an honest and genuine complain because I was disappointed about a story that I was really hoping to be good because yes, I wanted to go and buy the chapters. Like when you go buy clothes, don't you try them on before buying? Or for a movie, don't you read some reviews before watching it?
I read it, I complained about it following a trend that it is frankly quite annoying to me. And yes, it might be something that the author really wants to portray, but it can't be denied that nowadays some stories just have the noncon factor because it is popular aka it makes money. So I'm sorry but I highly doubt that the sole purpose of some korean BL authors is to just express themselves through their r*pe-y stories, instead of just doing it because it is "the trend".
Also, yes, after I complained I stopped reading. But I couldn't have known that this story was not for me without reading it, right?
And some trends need to stop because they might be triggering for some readers that went through those specific dynamics (and there are almost never triggers at the beginning of any given chapter), and also, romanticizing noncon is just wrong. I don't have to tell you why it is wrong, I hope.
Authors don't have to stop because I say so. They can keep going as well as I can keep complaining and then stop reading, deciding then not to give them my money. It is as simple as that.

I don't know why you perceived my comment as self-righteous or aggrandizing, but sure, you do you. And yes, my comment might be funny, because I should have picked up the red flags before deciding to finally stop reading. Shame on me and all that jazz.
Still, I don't think I deserve the way you rudely talk to me at the end of your comment, when I am just trying to have a normal discussion. We can disagree with each other, but insulting? It's not as cool as you think it is.
