im so fucking tired of rape thats not addressed/depicted as such.
look, I'm a big big big fan of angst and suffering, i like my stories dark and painful, so when theres rape, it usually doesn't bother me, if its depicted correctly.
what bothers me is this washed up, rose tinted, lovey dovey version of something that should be treated as the tragedy it is. what was the point of this??
rape can be a meaningful plot device, it can bring something to the story, but if you just put assault into the story without even addressing it as such, then what's the point?
its not painful because the victim "actually wants it", it's not guilty because the perpetrator doesn't view it as a bad thing, its not tragic, its not angsty, its not devastating. you draw rape and call it love, to have the audacity to not even address it, to not explain, to not have consequences? what the fuck????
the thing is, every action has consequences. that's how you build a story. why put something in that literally has no point? it won't be talked about, it won't affect the plot, it won't change the characters in any way. its just junk filler, trivialising something that at the very least, should be treated with respect.
and I'm going off here, but every fucking author does this and I'm so so so tired.
you wanna put rape in your story, fine! I don't care, I might even like it, but god put some weight on it. it is a HEAVY topic. it should be addressed as such.
this misunderstanding plot could have had the same impact on the story without the assault, and I'm tired of author taking the easy way out to excuse themselves out of actually thinking their story out.

i just can't understand what the tone of the story is supposed to be?
so many conflicting plots and expressions, its just not coherent with itself. I though the officials would help me understand it better, but it still doesn't make any sense
I get none of the characters' motivations and i don't get what's driving the story either. IMO, it lacks a central focus point that runs the plot

I just hate ml SO much
like, he doesn't seem to even regret raping mc, he still views it as part of his revenge, he just caught feelings in the middle. he still justifies it as revenge, he still views it as something he had to do even though mc had literally nothing to do with his family's passing since he was a fucking child
like, did he forget chapter 29?????? I'm sorry, but he's completely irredeemable to me, there's no ANY amount of regret and grovelling that can undo what's been done

the way I'd actually kind of like this more if the author decided to full send it and went on the dark path

the worst part is that Luke probably wouldn't even mind that the photo spread.
I don't think he'd have a problem with their relationship made public, he'd just worry about Andrew cause of his being famous and what Andrew would think, but Luke? I don't think he'd care

okay listen
I don't really like how they're trying to make us sympathetic towards horus like yeah alright he lost an eye and he feels bad and he was wronged too I get it but honestly? how was he wronged? genuinely asking.
did seth always behave correctly with horus? no. but I think this last action was warranted.
I mean, horus broke the mirror (after basically raping him, *again*). that mirror held one of the pieces of his wife's soul, of her.
like, a lot can be said about seth but he loves his wife. and you could argue he's starting to love horus but he *loves* his wife. everything he did, in the past especially, was because of her. and horus took a piece of that and destroyed it.
idk about yall but I wouldve gone crazy too, and seth is a violent and temperamental person so it doesn't surprise me how he reacted, I'd say its justified. sure, horus was emotional too so I get why he did it but what really irks me is that he shows no regret, he doesn't understand the gravity of what he's done, he doesn't even question it. doesn't ask himself why seth reacted like that, the narrative and the characters just blame seth (like they always do, imo)
idk I just wish the story and the characters realised seth has feelings too, and that they're not just forcing him to fall in love again with horus (or whoever else), they're asking him to stop loving his wife.

now let's not forget just how awful the ml is just because he killed the (equally as bad) uncle
like nobody forgot chapter 29, ML literally whored uke out to some old guy and when he refused he beat him, raped him, and left him on the floor.
and that's just one of the occasions, my man has scars because of that piece of shit.
IMO, there should be no happy ending for them together, but since there will be, I need a grovelling arc of at least 15 chapters and the ml need to actually come to terms with how shit he is.
please just don't fall in love and forgive him just cause he saved you ONCE, after he was the one to put you in danger in the first place
