Yeahhhhh I'm disappointed to see this trope happening here... I've seen a lot of smut and even romance where (usually so the author can rush the story to a $picy scene in an early chapter) the ml initiates an intimate relationship w thier partner with an act they think is either nonconsensual or at least ambiguously consensual, but then it's revealed that thier partner was totally into it! The ml is relieved of guilt, his heart is melted, crops watered, skin cleared! And suddenly the fact that he intended to rape someone is forgotten, for love has healed him! Oh wow so romantic right???? Yeahhhhh can authors stop working so hard to find ways to get away with romanticizing rape and start romanticizing enthusiastic consent maybe????? That would be nice. Hope all the readers have the sense to realize that this is not ok in reality or fiction. Hope this story at least reveals some more healthy thoughts and actions next chapter, BEFORE anyone's clothes come off.
