Karyehs Everything you said makes sense except for the fact that it has nothing to do with chinese literature.. Maybe the person who originally came up with the bright idea of using rape as a plot device did consider this complex matters but now days it’s just a common cliche that retards in china use to rack up enough word count to afford rice
so much raping
Sythcake One of the first girls he rapes was the commander of an army. She was a strong independent women who had cult-like attachment to her organization. The MC starts a rebellion and turns her subordinates against her. She becomes trapped and has the option to kill all her subordinates to get away, but she doesn't take it since she is a caring person. She surrenders to the MC and the rebellion. The MC tells her to join his group and work as a commander (he needs one for his troops). She refuses, so the MC hands her a gun and says, "Join me, or kill yourself." So she puts the gun to her head and pulls the trigger. The gun wasn't loaded, and the MC becomes shocked at her determination. He can't think of a way to break her strong will so he drugs her and then rapes her butt to try and break her. Due to probably backlash, the author changes the story in the next few chapters. The girl is now someone who was part of a brainwashing program by the military to create loyal soldiers. She had her brain altered to where she is essentially, an emotionless machine. The MC tells her, if she joins him, once he basically conquers the world, he'll find a way to create the technology needed to remove the emotionlessness that was programmed into her brain. She accepts, and is now part of his group.

Sythcake Well, you don't need to understand the underlying psychological concepts to know that it works. To be honest these kind of 'tactics' to brainwash someone were widely in use loooong before psychology became something similar to a science.
Think about it a bit differently... Even though it is a bit twisted, rape is one of the most extreme compliments for your attractivity. In a society where a false accusation of rape may lead to death/extreme social sanctions/jail, someone thinks your body - what you are without all the philosophical stuff about soul/personality, in the most primal way - is worth the risk of getting punished/lynched. Someone finds you attractive enough that he can't controll his/her instincts.
We are living in a society where people post their chests and butts in social media for a shallow compliment, a like and a share.
And don't forget that female instinctive know that pregnancy means they will be VERY weak AND dependent for month/potentially years. So there are some good reasons to submessive instincts in a group where you aren't protected by the highest power.
Did you know that a big part of the psychological damage rape victims receive is due to starting to like it? To avoid pain, the body gets wet and aroused, maybe even leading to climax. -> Again cognitive dissonance, where you absolutely know that you hate(d) it, but your body "betrays" you.
It is sad, but it isn't that rare for rape victims really fall in love with their rapists. Especially if they treat you like a princess normally and avoid even hurting your toenails.

Especially when among those people are also probably (never mentioned) also children involved. Isn't that even more morally questionable?

FleetingClouds Haha there is even worse. Mc drugs a powerful guy with powerful aphrodisiac that won't even let him control his own body. The guy goes on to find someone/anyone in his frenzy and starts to forcefully rape another guy since he is more powerful in cultivation. They are not even gay btw! He is just under the influence of the drug and can't stop himself. The other guy is like screaming and shit... Since they are in a defenseless position thanks to mc's 'ingenius plan', he proceeds to cut both their heads off while they are still... connected....... and leave their corpses in that position...
No one gives a flying fck with this scenario and people just laugh. Place a girl in that unfortunate guys position and all hell would break loose in the comments. I would assume being a straight guy in such a situation would be so much more traumatizing than being a girl... And that is the hypocrisy of our current pc culture...
Sparky how can there be no rape? Those girls were asking for it with their jade white skin, creamy mountain tops. And don't let me get started on those damn perky ass. Lord knows I'll smash.
bachingchung But why must rape? conquering their heart is more challenging than conquering their body Hahahahaha
Tonufan123 Wtf did i just read?
bachingchung omg all those chingchongs with their jade white skins...
literally the only novel in which there was a pretty girl with not jade white skin is in 50 milleniums of cultivation.
in mansion in a post apocaliptic world even the middle eastern arab girl has jade white skin xD
Sythcake
in mansion in the post apo world he raped 2 chicks,
one is his first girl's sister, she's from an enemy faction so he raped her to make her talk about her faction
second one is a leader of some vault, he rapes her to make her sumbit to him and be his follower, he needs her to be a general or something
Btw, the first one totally fall in love with him and does orgies with him and her sister,
the second one has feelings 10 year old girl like feelings for him, the regular novel innocent girl starting to have feelings thing
Sparky err...if only three of them then it's not orgies but threesome :)
Tonufan123 wtf, this dude wanted to break a woman’s strong will so that she will serve as his commander, and then he decides that the best way to do that is to drug her and rape her? That’s some fcked up sht. How would that make any sense.
Anyway, if the novel is in a dog eat dog world, I don’t mind that the author will write about some sick psychos who will rape women, but it is just stupid to use rape as a tool to make two people get closer, or to make a woman fall in love for the rapist. When a woman is raped, she will be traumatized for life, this is no simple matter.
By the way, it is one thing for a random character to be committing rape, but I don’t follow novels in which the mc is a rapist, that’s just sick.
StampedingSquirrel
i don't really mind him raping, it is a dog eat dog world, the mc pretty much has whole cities and armies of slaves at this point of the novel
the novel is really good, except for the mc-women part
Power fantasy is a thing. Control everything and take what you want. The love part is stupid in my opinion too.
Like some say, in a dog eats dog world anything goes. In romantic novels, some have an instant attraction for that person and therefore is not traumatic being molested, sexually assaulted or even raped. Other times they're already in love and they don't mind being mistreated. I guess it depends on the situation and how much power the person being assaulted, molested or raped gives to the matter. Some people may not see it as a big deal and to others it may even turns them on, while for others is a death sentence. But is funny that a lot of readers have an issue with this but not with people being killed left and right LOL. Some actually ask for characters to be kill in the most horrific ways.
