Harassment is not romantic!!! – Dead or Love【romance novel】 Review

I can’t believe no one has said this yet but I’m appalled, I keep wanting to give this game the benefit of the doubt but instance after instance it’s disappointed me. Having guys constantly make comments about a girls appearance, getting in her personal space even though she’s clearly uncomfortable with it, and not taking no for an answer is not romantic! Silence is not consent and claiming that it was a joke doesn’t make it any better! If a guy did any of that stuff to me I’d be terrified of him not attracted to him D:> And don’t get me wrong, I’m okay with some of the characters turning out to have issues, even scary ones but it should be treated appropriately, not by watering down the main characters reactions so that it seems less of a problem. I’m so tired of main characters white-washing the actions of her love interest, girls are not that naive or compliant. Just because a guy is cute doesn’t mean he is exempt from treating a girl with proper respect. I really wanted to enjoy the mystery and the plot has so much potential but I’m having such a hard time going along with the abuse the poor main character is being subjected to :( On another note, don’t you think people would be much more bothered by the fact that they could have nearly died and could still die stranded on an unknown island? Idk if the plot explains this later but you’d think the main character who has no memories would at least be freaking out a little bit about nearly drowning, having amnesia, and being stuck on an island with complete strangers not knowing if they will ever be rescued. Everyone except Fenrir has been kind of treating this like a vacation >_>
