Dropped because the story lacks logic and the author isn't good at developing her characters. Grade-school writing.

The MC lives in a fictional equivalent of a modern society - at this point in the story the author has not given any reason why, when the ML continuously force himself on the MC, the MC doesn't

A: Call the police and get a restraining order

B: Go to the hospital - at least when he's r*ped while pregnant (he's bleeding each time, so any normal person who doesn't want to harm his own health would seek medical aid).

C: Reveal the problem to the ML when he's conscious again so they together can try and solve the issue.

While the ML is not developed properly and so far only presented as a complete scum man, he does have reason to be hostile to the MC. The MC and the ML's assistant has hidden the ML's assaults and his unconscious beserker-state from the ML for over a year. Why don't they think the ML deserves to know how he acts and why? The assistant in the beginning even thinks to himself how the ML repeatedly raping the MC makes the assistant's job easier, because afterwards the ML is easier to be around after he has 'relieved his pressure'. That's some serious deception and basically pimping the MC for his own benefit. Yet the assistant is portrayed as a good person.

What the MC and assistant does also completely denies the ML any agency. A more skilled author would examine how the reveal affected the ML's mental state - wouldn't he from now on be constantly afraid of losing control and succumb to his unconscious urges?

The ML seems to be the typical cold CEO-type who acts brain-dead.

The MC has clear Stockholm syndrome - hiding the truth from the ML to continue to get his 'love' (aka being r*ped again and again). Yet when he gets pregnant and the r*pes become a problem (damages his health and a risk to the fetus), he still doesn't try to fix the issue or even telling the ML that he got him pregnant (the ML deserves to know this). The MC finally has enough when the ML r*pes him to an extent where his and the child's life are in danger, which seems hypocritical considering the ML acts in the exact same way as always.

The author's lack of logic and one-dimensional characters is annoying - I picked this up because someone compared it to Alpha Predator (which is ABO crematorium done right), but this author doesn't have Shui Qiancheng's skill of writing compelling, three-dimensional characters. When a crematorium goes straight for ab*se without any build-up and just makes the MC=pitiful and tormented and the ML=scum, then there's no tension to the story and no personality to the characters.

Won't rate it since I dropped it early on, but considering I've read another story by this author which also wasn't very good and had the same problems with illogical character decisions and underdeveloped writing, I think it's safe to say that this story isn't worth reading unless you like brain-dead dogblood melodrama with dumb characters.
