both characters have a lot of depth which is great. so far this could make for an amazing storyline of change and growth. i hope the ml overcomes a lot of his barriers. sometimes the right partners really do provide us with a positive space that aids in journey of growth. i hope the mc also realizes that he can’t hold himself AND the ml up without being a detriment to himself as well.

at some level there’s a collective consciousness from a lot of the ppl who read BLs like this. the classic toxic seme, dubcon dynamics are always gonna be at play, we KNOW that. but i will say for myself, i was slightly taken aback by this new chap. this is a heavy theme. having a human reaction to seeing an easily sympathetic character essentially being called an object, having their consent taken from them in an instant (to our knowledge) and being humiliated is absolutely fine. the vast majority of us were not seeing that coming. and not all of us are 100% desensitized to the shit we read on here.
its easy to say we shouldve known what reading something like this would entail. like girl i DID know and i’m still surprised

Right like I’m desensitized to this shit but I started laughing cause yeah… I was surprised like wtf you doing. I’m not too fond of this dynamic but I’m just praying for the character development to come but instead it went the possession route which I mean can hopefully work itself out but the more I read this the more I think the author is gonna just keep it this way it seems like that’s the theme of this. Where’s the redemption arc at.

just wondering bc i’ve kept up since the start and have re-read many of the chapters…the foreign god’s (or human?) has never been revealed??

tbh that was my first thought as well but I'm hoping that he's not so I went on a little tangent trying to figure out who he could be and landed on Mars bc given the context that made sense to me but then he could totally just be Zeus who knows (his lust for pretty things would def check out if that were the case)
not always a fan of the low confidence, traumatized mc personality type but there’s something i enjoy about him and the plot. i also kind of like how the seme has figured out his attraction is more than just physical in nature but also being frustrated and unable to vocalize it. its messy but i enjoy
