    I noticed in high school that a lot of the romance novels involve rape. Like a crazy amount of them start the sexual relationship between the man and woman with rape. Then the woman eventually falls for him.

    I am assuming that type of shit.

      That was a huge thing in the 80s. Even my mom was into that crap. Not really around that much anymore, from what I can see. Now it’s all hot asshole billionaire high school students.

        So the J/K-drama style has spread to western romance novels. Not surprising with how K-drama in particular started taking off a few years back.

      Nope, most will at most have CNC, albeit some might come in weirdly justified ways (e.g. in Lights Out the FMC ponders that her commenting on the MMC’s thirst trap videos that she’d like him to break into her home etc., was explicit consent for him to do so).

          CNC: Computer Numerical Control

          FMC: Fluoromethcathinone (drugs)

          MMC: MultiMediaCard (old memory card format like SD cards)

          Women are into weird shit.
