Why the rape. The tension was already there..he could have pushed Mokhwa’s buttons by doing something else, even just pretending he was going to assault him to see his reactions, that’s toxic but the MC has a fucked moral compass, but why did he have to rape him…Look at Shutline for example, there is tension and yet, no rape ! Yes it CAN be done, you can write a good BL with no rape !
What was the point of the rape ? Like come on, and the fact that Mokhwa doesn’t seem to realize what was done to him is like…okay, but is that supposed to make it better ? are we supposed to gloss over the fact that the MC is a rapist because Mokhwa doesn’t realize what happened or doesn’t care ?
I get that the MC has a fucked moral compass and I love grey characters but I’m not gonna root for a rapist and his victim.
I’m disappointed cause I was looking forward for another thriller like BL.
(I’m aware some of you are gonna say “don’t read if you don’t like it” but I kinda was hoping that MC wouldn’t be a rapist, that’s my bad I guess)
