The sudden switch ups in the characters behaviours are so unnatural??? Like he just nearly drowned him and saed him again the last chapter ended with the knife on Erik's throat and they are suddenly horny for one another, and everythings ok ???? Then the thing that disturbed him the most is the bdsm gear ???? Not the thought that you were waterboarded !????? The fuck ?

I'm so disappointed with this chapter, I really hoped it would be more like he would really have treated him with grace, dignity and all according to his wishes. Like he would dote on him, share their love of music, and the story would've show that the og lover was more of a surface level love and they, cause Erik is disfigured, would've built genuine connection. I thought he would have just asked him to stay for 5 days, but the sudden waterboarding? The sa again... Like I hoped for so much more, I really wanted this time for Chris(tine) to end up with the Phantom and got so disappointed...

I'm actually pretty disappointed that after the build up with the last chapter and how it ended the pretty serious situation ended in a gag like manner? Like I was hoping for an honest talk between them about their boundaries and how and why she felt hurt, cause honestly they really rushed into the whole play, and a sweet ending for that night would've been an honest all night long talk between them
What I hate about the toxic BLs those authors make that when they draw rape scenes they don't even think it's rape and just try to convince everyone that's it's just toxic sex... Like let's not gaslight ourselves we all knew it was gonna be toxic, but they don't even draw it to show us a dark story with rape and show us the repercussions and the mental and physical distress that results from this, they just wanna sell it as dark romance, toxic but both sided. You can just see rape culture dripping from it...
i recommend you to read other genre if u dislike this. yaoi was popular for this exact reason. netizens cheers for it.
my current favourite is "match made in heaven by chance". is straight romance
