What happened to Qu Ling Yue was really terrible and frustrated me endlessly.

I get that these kind of things happen in real life too and are especially likely to happen in a medieval setting that follows the "law of the jungle", but that still doesn't really make me feel better about it.

I really liked Qu Ling Yue a lot and hoped that she would have some bigger role to play in the novel, which is why I kind of spoiled myself in advance and already knew that she would get raped, which made me almost want to drop the novel or at least skip to the point where she was already saved.

Maybe I'm being weak, but these kind of things in frustrate me to no end and even though it makes it "more realistic", since it obviously happens in reality too, it still makes me feel sad, angry and disgusted.

Even knowing she would be saved brought me no real joy, just a bit of relief.

I think it's a bit cheap to put this into a story to make the villains seem more evil or to make you pity or hate certain characters.

I don't hate the novel now, but I certainly hated every bit of this part.
