Now that's what we call toxic relationship.

The tags worried me. And true to the tags the story is messed up, and the ending just levels it up.
But I guess both of them are perfect for each other because of their personalities?

This feels like taking three slaps to the face from Godzilla.

Yeah...definitely not for me. I know Tmfly loves some fucked up broken relationships...but this is bizarrely excessive even for them.

Also unfortunate because I like their art and character designs...I just don't know if I've ever liked or enjoyed one their stories/works though.

Edit: Oh and I hate these types of stories with lines such as "I can never break free from her control", it's such an angst fueled defeatist attitude and only says to me that the author loves tragedy porn. It's not compelling or interesting to me, I know toxic relationships are very difficult, but I think stories like this just fetishize them more than anything.

Well she did say that she'd regret getting in this relationship. Not sure if I feel bad for her, feels like she was taking it pretty far with treating the other badly but then again she liked it.

…but that kind of stuff is like, exactly what happens in abusive relationships. Abusers make you feel like you have to pay to keep having access to something you need, that the energy to get out is a super high requirement, and they want you to feel like it’s impossible. To someone who craves attachment and companionship, threatening to leave someone is a powerful tool to get them to do anything, it’s really good at making them stay.

… Aaaanyway, it’s really interesting how this is set up. The blonde girl likes coldness and abuse because she’s spoiled and gets anything she wants—but at the same time, her demanding their relationship be only that is another example of her being spoiled and feeling entitled to only get what she wants. Making someone dom/degrade you without boundaries and without safewords or any kind of aftercare is like making them drown in sludge. This scenario is viscerally icky, and makes me feel all sorts of horrible things. It’s really well-done in that regard.

Sometimes you meet someone whose fucked up, and then realized you’re equally as fucked and now both of you are just in a toxic relationship. I can only say those kinds of people are truly meant for each other

Yeah I understand what you're saying and I'm aware of that aspect of abusive relationships. As I said abusive relationships are difficult and you expanded on my thoughts well there, but as I said my main problem with this is that it feels like stories like such as this fetishize it more than anything.

To include the rest of what I said "It's not compelling or interesting to me, I know toxic relationships are very difficult, but I think stories like this just fetishize them more than anything."

That's just it for me, it's entirely possible to have a story about an abusive relationship be interesting and compelling, but I think I'd want there to be some way for the abused party to overcome their defeatist attitude. Which I know isn't easy, but I think if a person seeks help from something such as therapy they might be able to find a way to break free. Instead of a story like this where it just ends with the character giving in, and the author is basically saying "things are hopeless". Not a message I personally like is all.

I like the reversal aspect of this, but that's about it. This one falls headfirst into the usual trap for this kind of work, it just feels mean spirited, rather than deep or dark, or anything like that. Out of this recent glut of works about abuse we've had on here, I think this one is one of the worst.
