Was there really a need for the plot to go in this direction????
Like, damn—if you're so "immeasurably pleased" that he couldn't bear to kill you, isn't this the perfect setup for a redemption arc without rape???? This could have been the start of a slow healing process (since the "good times" were what made the bottom develop feelings and give up killing him).
I know the top is his family's killer and the bottom's inability to go through with the revenge deed led him to wanting to die but instead of "hey, let's continue treating him well and try the difficult process of fixing this," the author went "nah that's too hard to write" and dove straight into "let's rape him into submission."
Bro, he had already submitted before all this—was this really necessary???
Dying really is better off for the bottom at this point like... he gave up his life's revenge mission in exchange for the sentimental times, but instead he got endless rape wtf.
