It’s been a while since I finished reading pearl boy but I think I lowkey regretted reading it cuz some of the scenes were too extreme for me (and I regularly read some pretty dark stuff), in particular some scenes towards the end that were basically torture revenge on the antagonists. The main couple and plot weren’t enjoyable enough to make up for it and the uke was almost stereotypical “in debt sad helpless” from what I remember. Haven’t read ignite the dawn, letting it marinate more chapters
Finally a mature person, My blood boil whenever they appear on my social media i hate how peopel glorify them seriously gang rape revenge I saw i dropped it , author had millions ways to get revenge but those could become same as other people who did bad to them how could seme be a good green flag when he did so fucked up shit to someone

Is pearlboy worth reading?
I let it marinate for a few years but scared to read it because of rape. And is the ignite the dawn good too?
