Absolutely agreed. Not condoning the actions taken / portrayed, but despite the pain and violence purposefully inflicted, the uke chose to stay put and let it continue. They both want something—they’re both willing to manipulate and use each other to get it, and we see just how much the uke is prepared to sacrifice. It’s not going to be a comfortable read, and I do not believe either of these characters is capable of “saving” the other.

I don't think that this story in particular can be put on "rape for the sake of rape bl" category. I usually agree that most bl have a huge problem with consent but this is not a love story. They are fucked up ppl, the uke has basically no morals and is capable of anything for power and the seme is a suicidal mess, everything about them is a power play, even if they "fall in love" will be toxic or out of codependency.
I'm extremely intrigued by this plot, it's really dense but captivating
