The problem is they just use rape as a plot device to get two characters close through one character saving the victim but completely ignore what that does to the victim, how violated they feel. These stories trivialize rape and make it seem like its not that big of a deal when its fucking not
Agreed if you arent gonna explore what that kind of thing does to a victim dont include it and honestly i have no faith with manga authors to tackle this subject seriously. They just use it to endanger the girl and as a bonding event for their love interest, instead of treating it aa this world...
Exactly they didnt even give us a reason as to why him a stray that only took on weak monsters anx a magic swordsman were compatible. We didnt see any strategy where they use their unique strengths in creatives ways, we dont even know if they have unique strengths.
How the fuck would i trust...
