@smoke82 I am not inherently defending this series as much as I am -attempting- to call out people on what I perceive as hypocrisy on the basis of a “knee jerk” reaction rather than purely the manga itself. There has been a single chapter (and frankly I see it getting worse) and while the synopsis only reinforces people’s concerns about it, people review bombing something after a single chapter still comes off as incredibly short-sighted to me.
My problem lies less with people’s personal views on *this* series (though it does annoy me personally) and more with the fact that frankly, in my opinion, the “wish-fulfillment” presentened here is far more “basic” than recycled garbage we see everyday like “I carried a girl who sprained her ankle and now she loves me” or “I discovered a girls ‘secret’ and didn't reveal it immediately ??? So now we’re friends” and plenty of other common things we see (and usually aren't presented well) don’t get *as* much heat as this because were used to them or are more accepting of them.
“I can” is fairly common theme in most of these isekais and this one is significantly worse in its own ways, yes, but “Becaude I can” is presented no worse here than in other series that aren’t as “rapey” and that’s my real problem.
I understand that’s because this is Inherently a niche festih and will not (nor do I particularly think it should) garner more praise. However the concept of “I have a sex superpower and want to use it” is just as much of a wish-fulfillment setting as any other “girl falls in love with guy for doing three things for her and not being an absolute piece of shit of a human being” trope out there, and yet this particular one receives more flak based on its fetishized depiction of said “sex superpower” situation.
Finally, While I obviously agree that having an actual buildup and characterization prior to him using his skill would make this objectively more tolerable. At the end of the day the story is still a revenge story about a guy with a sex-slave skill, the synopsis makes that abundantly clear. Yet even if this was well written and presented, I have no doubt there’d be a shitstorm surrounding it due to the nature or it’s concept, even if it was more “””consensual”””, which is fair enough, you can’t avoid controversy in something like this. However that does not (imo) mean it should be review bombed (I mean 1s ? Come on guys, we all know there’s far worse stuff on this site) Due to its FIRST CHAPTER because of its depection of a more niche -and less accepted- fetish.
P.S there’s nothing wrong with disliking “rape” obviously, but reacting like this to a fetish that’s clearly aimed at someone else, and you may not agree with, seems immature.
