I genuinely don’t understand why they write stories like this. I don’t think people nowadays actually like the fantasy of being at the mercy of a villain, a rapist, or a murderer who then becomes a lover. Even if someone wanted to write such stories, there are far better ways to depict these things. There should be a purpose, a plotline, a conflict—but in most cases, the lines seem intertwined in a way that leaves the reader puzzled because it feels like nonsense. You might understand how and why something led to this, but it feels rushed and illogical. This is my problem with most things I read nowadays. They can be good, but they often miss something essential, the logic of each character and solid storytelling.
