at least harada doesn't pretend to be wholesome lmfao

thnx mangago for swallowing the other half of my comment
my point was i'm tired of half-assed "pls feel sorry for this pedo/abuser/criminal" stories that don't treat these themes with the gravitas they deserve and just use them as plot devices that are hand-waved away for a "happy ending".
anyways if anyone wants to read a version of this story that's like 100x better written check out harada's nii-chan but p l s heed the content warnings

yeah I completely agree w you and that is why I really like harada. the works are unique because the story is not romantic or equipped with a pink romance filter. they are real and disturbing because of that. I really enjoy reading them because I really ytsrat to get annoyed by these romanticized violence stories (like Stockholm syndrome and psychological stuff is okay as long as it is displayed realistically, but not like omg I was haunted by that rape that occurred in my childhood and it changed me completely and all but then after realizing that the dude he likes is the rapist he be like omg I love you and you did nothing wrong I actually always loved you because you raped me ... like no)
my man really said gay movie? no, gay documentary
