I mean they often want to show the bad site of the end of the world and sadly this also involves people taking advantage of the situation for their own benefits.

Right, sadly even in reality something like this would happened

People want to write realistic stories. When the world resorts to "might is right" rape happens. Happily though, community is actually what sees humanity through disaster, and rabid, cruel, assholes, often do not last long.

Eh idk tho bc like what part of this is actually realistic? A sudden outbreak causing zombies? Zombies stuff is inherently like not realistic. The fact that not a single worker was at the house or near the house (except that one lady) during a shoot/ show. Like idk I mean u can still write a zombie story that doesn't involve rape. bc what is the point in writing and showing rape scenes it truely? It's not to raise awareness, or bring the light the issues of rape... It's just kinda partially a way to introduce rape porn for the most part... Like the guy being gross toward the one lady oc the artist had to do art to show her boobs... Bc it's about rape porn. It's not to be 'realistic'.

Also again it doesn't do much for the plot most the time it happens I'm stories.the only time I saw it did anything for a story was walking dead. An attempt at rape on his son drove Rick to go crazy and kill everyone in a brutal way that we never thought he would, it was truly a break in sanity. Then moved the story into facing Karl thinking his dad might be dead and turning into a zombie so he might have to kill. They didn't even rape him, they implied what he would do. (Which is fine) But when I see a woman have a rape scenario I'm zombie movies/shows they so much gets shown, and it usually doesn't affect the plot much or characters. Yeah sometimes the rapist gets killed but nothing affects the story in the log run or plot. It's once again just rape porn.

Most the time the women don't even have trauma in the long run that affects the stories outcome later. Like if a woman gets raped and later in the story because of that she has a deep mistrust of men and so continuously makes bad decisions by not trusting men and it leads to an interesting outcome that would be fine but you don't need to show the extreme of the rape to get that point across and also that almost never happens a woman gets raped and the story keeps going and nothing changes. You quite literally could have changed the rape into just regular abuse and it would have had the same exact outcome. You need to actually have a reason to put rape in a story not just putting it there to put it there It needs to have a reason. That's how you tell a good f****** story.

1. Not all rape has to be "on screen", so it is not rape porn to include allusions to or confirmation of rape, particularly if it is done "off screen".

2. The fear of men and of rape is and has always been a concern for women in survival situations at least as long as we have had oral traditions to tell stories so... tens of thousands of years.

3. In the case of women, making it "regular abuse" does actually change its effect on the plot. Sexual violence is overwhelmingly perpetrated by men and the victims are overwhelmingly women and children. When sexual violence is the concern, it is often used to show the consistent ways in which women are always having to think abouy and protect themselves from a hidden danger. In fact, men being rapists in survival situations can be thought of the same way as someone hiding a bite and becoming a zombie. Its about the terror of possible betrayal and violation and it is the layer that all women have to think about and fear. "Regular abuse" is a fear for all, sexual abuse is fear specific to those who are physically or socially weaker. Its social commentary.

I get that but what I'm saying is in most stories they show the rape scen in detail. They use it as throw away plot that doesn't affect the story. I'm saying in most stories they aren't using rape is something that she's light to rape issues, or plot issues. That's the problem. Obviously idk where it's going in this story. But most stories they just have needles rape scenes that doesn't affect the plot for like no reason.

I disagree, so we can just agree to disagree.

No I love this story. I have to say Astaire definitely has been a pretty bad person throughout a lot of the story though, just not a monster like he was in the original timeline. Him not being a monster doesn't make him not bad. It's understandable that he is that way, considering his past, but his past doesn't negate the fact that he's still acted positively unhinged around Kayla, trampled over her boundaries and put her in a lot of danger.
But with that said, I still like him :') I mean you can still like fictional characters even with them being bad people.

Aster, he was downright maniac in the original storyline that the FL read. But rn he's like a clear-sighted villain with a specific goal. That's to have Kyla stay with him. Getting the throne was deemed more like a duty he just needs to do for his bloodline. Which I think is Aster's necessary step to have Kyla beside him always, because as an emperor he can make Kyla his, an empress perhaps.

I get that I wasn't meaning he is a bad guy just way less Maniac then his possible outcome. And I was just seeing a lot of hate about the story too. Idk I feel like (also compared to other s***** toxic male leads read and other stories) He's not that bad like yeah he does push her boundaries and everything, And yes holding her captive int a good f****** thing. But also I kind of look at it this way of like how she looked at it; he was so f****** trapped in a house not allowed to do anything with a guy who just saw him as a f****** problem. Like yeah he's not a good dude but he's also a victim as well A victim of neglect. You leave a child in a house basically all alone never allowed to f****** leave of course you're going to go f****** crazy. The one guy that lives with him constantly acts like he's a nuisance and a horrible person and we never saw any of the horrible s*** that he complained about. He always was complaining about how he needs to clean up his mess and how he always causes him problems but we never saw that. The only problems we ever saw was him actually going outside for f****** once and then kidnapping the girl which he unfortunately got to a breaking point in kidnapped her because he was so f****** lonely. Not trying to excuse his actions but I feel like it's a little bit more understandable compared to like male leads and other stories where they're just kind of like abusive to be abusive. He definitely has like issues with neglect and he has a trauma bond for her as well for sure But I find that interesting I find his character very interesting and very flushed out and I think that's why I kind of like his character compared to like other toxic male lead stories where they're just abusive to the female lead for like no reason lol.

(≧∀≦) same! but yow, honestly I didn't read your whole comment when I replied about Aster, cuz you were just talking about the Aster and I got interested. I just read your latest comment cause I thought you're mad about something
(￣∇￣") my first reply was about how I perceived Aster's "new" journey... I apologize if it came through to you like something else maybe. But I'm merely sharing a detail
ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~ no hate bro~
I understood how you like Aster, and I like his character development here too than the original storyline.
btw, I like how detailed you got there haha go easy on cursing(づ￣ ³￣)づ spread love <3

Lol not cursing cuz I'm mad that's just how I talk lol I did voice to text. I use cursing as an emphasis is all

Luka? He's her and the prime ministers kid but she lost her memory

But I swear she said she didn't give birth, and Luca doesnt have her blood?

Ah nm I went back and re-read. I read it wrong, she never had a relationship with the son. And Felix is the father she's was devoted. I thought they were saying they never fucked and had a baby lol

She had to actually love him, not just say she did.

too late, new chapter

I really hoped they didn't pull this kind of sh!t srsly

I’m trying so hard but I hate the expressions too. Such good art and every damn second she does an uwu face like wtf

FOR REAL!! Like most ther facial expressions for here are blank or it changes to like a funny chibi uwu face of °^° so I can't even take her seriously!

It has me wishing for her downfall
