shadowdrake27 I think she means "especially if it's the male lead who does it, as opposed to the (male) antagonists/villains." Like, the guy who does it ends up being the one the female lead falls in love with, so they glorify the abuse or rape instead of presenting it as the vile act done only by criminals.

    Man I won't even write the huge list I have, it's mainly 4 things.

    1. Harem, ofc
    2. Repitition and word padding. I just read a novel where the author uses the cliche 1-9 and other word padded terms and repeated the long list several times and each time he adds more useless info to it. The story was so freaking slow I couldnt bear it anymore.
    3. Unoriginal and beyond lame settings. Copy and taste country. I can't with these authors.

      shadowdrake27 Sexual assault either way is triggering and traumatizing, it doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman doing it. But we're speaking about it in regards to men because if you look at the statistics in reality, the amount of women adult or underage being raped and sexually assaulted is significantly higher than men. And for them to be writing and glorifying such behavior is absolutely disgusting.

        I hate when the author tries to justify the vile act the protagonist did. It just pushes me away. Like "pulling out the weeds so they don't come and bite me in the ass", after eliminating a whole clan πŸ™ƒ

          grimreaper906 I know, right? "I killed all four generations of this guy's family just because a bunch of idiots pissed me off." But hey, it's okay because it's revenge, or because he's ensuring that he prevents any of them from taking revenge on him and show that he's not easily bullied, to warn people that they'll suffer the same fate if they provoke him or some bs like that. Pretty sure it's gonna have the opposite effect, especially when other clans and other people continue to provoke him anyway, which renders the whole genocide thing pointless.

          I think I have a problem tho πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ it's a smut novel but too much smut makes me stop reading the book πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

          Well well, the list is quite long but my top three are:
          1. Sexual harassment, incest, or any work portraying an unhealthy relationship as a healthy one
          2. Dumb side characters, no general character depth or development, villains with 30 IQ.
          3. Unnecessary descriptions repeated all over the work to hit the min word count, some are very funny tbh...
          The male lead descended from his horse and he was so beautifully handsome that all the world around him lost its color and everyone turned their heads towards him but he was uninterested blahblah he looked at the female lead and he took three steps in one and his soul-sucking-ocean-containing-night-blue eyes looked at her meaningfully and the world around him which had lost its color regained its beauty as he advanced towards her...so after three paragraphs the male lead could finally reach fl's side

            Tomoyuki it hurts when fl downright rejects the perfect second lead of love intrest that is waaay better than that rapist ml
            And there are novels that start with a rape πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
            Ml takes that intoxicated fl to hotel room with zero security where reports can come whenever they want (is it a Shak or whatπŸ˜‚,)
            Not some hospital coz that's so unethical to him and his horny brain πŸ˜‚

                You said it yourself before, saying something like it's simpler this way since you don't have a lover. Plus, dude, I'm not talking about why harem is bad or isn't bad, of course cheating will break people's hearts, I'm just saying that you should get married, 'tis a piece of advice.

                  SlaveOfTheLord Then why ppl hate reverse harem and bl ?πŸ₯Ί
                  I read a few harem manga fl there act like the have dropped there brain somewhere most of them act like accessories to ml (in iseki al they do is fight for him in wars and produced progenies for mlπŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ )
