I genuinely think authors need to retire the victim x abuser trope. It’s not cute it’s just sad. It frustrates me that every time I come across a story like that, people react like, “Oh my God, I can’t wait for his redemption arc. I can’t wait to see him fall to his knees, fall in love, realize the error of his ways” blah blah blah. Like please.... It’s tasteless, It gives nothing I seriously can’t wait until more people start to realize that
It’s not romantic, it’s not deep, and we’ve completely lost the plot with the ‘enemies to lovers’ concept. I’ve seen way too many people confuse that trope with straight-up abuser-victim dynamics as if that’s the same thing. It’s not. Not even close.
There’s something disturbing about how comfortable people have become with romanticizing pain, control, and manipulation. The idea that someone who has emotionally, psychologically, or even physically harmed another person can suddenly be redeemed by love isn’t just unrealistic, it’s dangerous.
I wonder if we’ve all collectively lost the plot when it comes to romantic storytelling enemies to lovers is never actually what it is anymore lmao. What once was a fun, dynamic narrative about conflict, tension, and eventual understanding has now been twisted into something unrecognizable. Too often, people conflate ‘enemies’ with ‘abusers’ But those are not the same, one is built on equal opposition and emotional complexity; the other is built on power imbalance and harm. Sighh

I feel bad for the other guy tho, not the jerk junwoo its just I wish the author never actually pairs him up with his abuser but I have a feeling they will. He deserves better basically ruined his life and then still acts like an immature asshole.
