rape is common for xianxia and in most cases I can write it, you know they were drugged, not in control, rare cases the bitch deserved it. But this one damn....scum, worse its why he did it and he was ok with it. Messed up is it might look like she might warm up to him now
Another rapist in Chinese novels and this one has barely crossed 60+ mark. Ugh... a big turn off for me Hope this guy suffers for this in the later part of this novel !!
Weirdly enough I applaud the author for using the rape for power without downplaying the act or using the "force controlling the MC" copout. The MC knows he's being a dick but his priorities won't let him take any other route. It's rape FOR power and not rape because drugged ot weird kinky old man has magical powers. Although I'm sort of scared there's going to be some totally cheap dialogue in the next chapter. Inb4 totally not human behaviour next chapter.
he even tells her she can kill him afterwards just let him finish his goals. which this early in the story if he is willing to do something like this for power how far will he go? Its thrilling knowing that he will bath in evil for the sake of good. But were will that leave Qing Er cause you know she loves Su Yun, how will she feel when she learn all that he has done? course looks like Su Yun is planning to die once Qing Er completely safe.
Havent gotten that far into Limitless Sword God, but I have to agree that I find the pseudo-rapes so prevalent in xianxia to be super annoying. Either be an a-hole or be a good guy. Don't try to pretend.
hmph, the guy doesn't even realize what Qing Er's feelings are...while I do not like rape (which is quite rampant in xianxia), this one...was blunt. No covering it up, no rationalization. Asshole move by MC, but the author executed it well. As for him dying, he wants to kill all of her enemies right? if he becomes strong enough to do that, doubt he'll die. heck, if he tries to give his life to the fox girl, she'll won't kill him cause it would ruin him.
however much I might hate it yea this one was by far "the best". Theres the "emotional raping" where the MC knows the girl has a special ability and to get it he needs to sleep with them so they go about making the girl fall for them. So they are fucking for power but hiding it under the mantel of she willingly did the deed. Here he fucked for power, he knows he's doing for power and for no other reason, and pretty much tells her that's why he's doing this. the irony was pretty good too since that even in really life just because your "powerful" doesn't protect you from getting raped sometimes.
I feel like after this incident she will develop feelings for him and will join his harem. When he explained why he's raping her, she was quiet instead of fighting back. There's not a lot of scene interaction with Qing Er and the MC. In the novel it did not explain why she likes him instead all I see is her feeling grateful to him for taking her in. Actually I think his feelings towards her are not romantic yet, but going towards being grateful to her even when he was kicked out from inner sect and become a alcoholic.
yea it also seemed like once she told him her back story he feels REALLY guilty and will look out for her from now on.
