I ve read the story because I saw potential in it. But the recent chapters really frustrated me because I was really invested in the story.
The characters were careless and stupid to get kidnapped... That I can comprehend.
What I don't understand is that one of the cartoonish kidnappers had to be a raping predator who has its way with the MC.

Guess who gets kidnapped, drugged, raped and rescued....
Seriously the MC was kinda a shrewd badass at the beginning and now he becomes a classic damsel in distress who is traumatized, insecure and so sad by many homophobic experiences in his past.... And it is the duke who will likely save him all from all of its torments.

I really wish the author didn't have to use this cliché narrative trope!
