@Vxxmpir3 There's a difference between criticizing something and just straight up insulting or unnecessary moral grandstanding over characters who don't exist. If someone sees violent media and think that's normal to do, it's not the creator's fault that person is mentally ill to begin with and you shouldn't lump them in with other people who may enjoy reading this because they just want a change of pace. 

Maybe people read this because red flag to green flag tropes are getting boring asf and predictable, and they just want a red flag to remain a red flag all the way through. And if you want a red to green flag story or a complete green flag story, find it elsewhere. So yes, if something bothers you so badly that you have to write a damn paragraph, stop reading it. Let people read what they want ffs.

@Crablice Stated that just because you said I must be enjoying this if I've read over 47 chapters lolol. That's why I'm not wrong to assume you enjoy watching a character get raped and abused for "a change of pace". I also did not insult you, until you mean suggesting professional help to deal with enjoying watching character get abused is insulting to you? That would be pretty self-explanatory. Maybe that'll surprise you but I also hate red to green flag tropes. Watching a toxic character suddenly become all innocent only for the sake of redemption feels as if the creator was telling the readers "Look!! They might be a rapist and a murderer but they've apologized for it!" Not to mention that they always end up reducing that character's personality to a mindless, lobotomized puppet after a so called "redemption arc". I simply can't stands stories where characters feel shallow in their behavior - whether they're as you said "green" or "red" flags; As if there was no double meaning to their actions or any deeper explanation. Every character should have realistically written issues so that the reader can sympathize with them and have any care in the actual character. Their actions should be justified by something and they should stay pretty consistent in their behavior. An amazing example for fantastically written character personalities is "Lost In The Cloud". And yea I do tend to type in paragraphs but I could say the same exacting thing to you, couldn't I? - Don't like my comments - Don't read them!! I'm also using constructive criticism here, not hating on the whole story because as i've said it does have potential. This series isn't bad for including sexual violence - It's just portraying it in a poor, unrealistic way and uses so much of it that the violence itself starts having less meaning for the actual story but becoming an actual fetishization of r*e.
