why the fuck is this manga filled with rape?
like I'm actually enjoying the manga and I have reached chapter 177
but holy shit the amount of pedo and rape scenes are just so fucking weird

What's so weird about it? It's a grimdark fantasy world. Do you also find it weird that people get killed and eaten by monsters?

The contrast between the fucked-up stuff and the heartwarming moments makes the reader appreciate the latter more. It's not really a dark fantasy series without a strong dose of rape scenes.

i think he's saying theyre unnecissarily frequent. shock value stops being effective if used too frequently.
Setting aside the fact that rape is a major theme and the series clearly cares about the trauma it inflicts... why would there not be some rape alongside the graphic death and torture? They're all awful things. Why should one be off-limits?
