I dreamed that I was inside a novel.
I was an office worker reading a BL (Boys’ Love) novel inside the subway.
The story was about a protagonist who was a duke. He was framed for treason, sold into slavery in another country, and suffered through endless hardships.
The story contained high levels of sexual harassment as well as general abuse. Because of this, fans who loved suffering protagonists absolutely adored the novel.
I was one of those hardcore fans, as I was dealing with severe stress from work and the burden of hiding that I am gay.
‘The author posted multiple chapters today!’
The author usually updated the story diligently every single day. But today, for some reason, they dropped five chapters all at once without any prior notice.
I prayed that the author would only walk a path of flowers, good health, and wealth, and then I began reading the chapters one by one.
My joy quickly turned into horror.
The tags on the story were definitely “slave protagonist” and “suffering protagonist.” However, the protagonist was suddenly cleared of his false treason charges, returned to the kingdom, and became a duke again.
Up to this point, it was fine. I thought the protagonist would just find new ways to suffer as a duke.
But out of nowhere, the protagonist kidnapped the people who used to abuse him and started to… abuse them back.
‘Crazy. Stop it.’
The protagonist even said he would pay them back exactly for what he suffered, and he actually… he actually…
‘No, you crazy bastard. You are the bottom!’
He actually raped them.
It wasn’t even a case where he put them inside himself. He shoved his own massive tool into their backsides.
The bottom had now become the top.
‘Ahhh! Ahhhh!!’
A role reversal! A role reversal!
I could never accept a role reversal even if I died, so suddenly getting hit with one was devastating!!
Despite my horror, the content of the novel did not change. The more I scrolled down, the more my tears fell.
When I looked at the comments, everyone was either crying or furious.
[Author, why are you doing this to us? We were so happy until yesterday T_T This is a dream, right? Is it an April Fool’s joke? Or a prank camera?]
[Crazy, my eyes are rotting. What is this trash author doing? Are you insane?]
[Hey, if you write tags like slave bottom and suffering bottom, you should include the role reversal tag too! Or at least warn us before posting multiple chapters!]
[Fuck, you said he was a slave bottom and a suffering bottom. Where is your conscience for not marking the role reversal?]
People even cursed openly.
Occasionally, there were people who said they still found it fun, or people who argued back asking why others had to resort to insults.
Either way, the comment section was exploding.
I held my phone blankly and just laughed. People looked at me with strange expressions, but my laughter would not stop.
That was how I lost my favorite BL novel.
