Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life Chapter 85 Discussion

The first volume ends at ch 132 but I couldn't get that far. Reading through the second half of the story of Song Yan and Xia Lin actually made me nauseous.

0/5 stars

This story started off as an ab*sed MC getting to redo his life with a successful career and moving on from emotional ab*se, but instead spiraled off into a toxic non-consensual relationship full of gaslighting and s*xual assault.

Their past life:

Spoiler

SY treats XL like utter sh*t and emotionally neglects him while treating him as a substitute for someone else.

After rebirth:

Spoiler

XL goes back in time four years before SY does and manages to successfully separate himself from SY who treated him like an clingy afterthought in the previous life. He's on his way to finishing his education for a successful medical career until SY comes back in time too.

After this point, the story is full of gaslighting, one instance of r*pe, and several instances of s*xual assault. SY forces himself on XL both emotionally and physically even though XL tries to get away every time.

XL also doesn't extricate himself because he had trapped himself in the toxic relationship in their last life and keeps going back like a classic domestic ab*se victim who can't get away.

I don't know how the ending turns out because I had to put this down since it made me sick, but at 85/132 chapters, their relationship is utterly toxic and unhealthy and honestly f*cking horrible to read. It's frustrating how XL wants to be left alone but isn't strong enough to push him away and how SY knows he's an utter piece of dog sh*t and still forces himself on XL.

And I'm pretty sure the two 5 star reviews were done by the translation team for more views because I honestly can't fathom how someone could enjoy reading a story full of emotional and s*xual ab*se.
