I was going to recommend Scum Villain and then I realised that some of your criticisms would apply, so I guess you got a point.

Still, Scum Villain is my favourite - after 2ha, but I admit that the reason why 2ha is my actual favourite is kink related - because it is a parody that makes all the tropes more palatable and fun. Except for the awful rape scene and even that had a point. Plus, the beta couple is the best thing ever, but they don't appear much, sadly. SQH is definitely the most interesting character in all of MXTX's books.

I get why you would compare WKX with MR - except for the fact that the former did not actually rape anyone, but who cares about that -, but I would argue that the comparison wouldn't work with LWJ and WWX. If anything, WWX is closer to ZZS with the whole atonement bullshit for having committed past crimes. And I would dare say that CWN is too different from either LWJ or ZZS. You could try and draw a parallel between CWN and SQQ (from Scum Villain), and MR and LBH though.

Anyway, my point is that there are definitely tropes at play in the genre and you don't have to feel like you have to try it if it's not your thing.

I think that Scum Villain is the best thing evver, minus that scene at the end, so I'm gonna check 2ha out.

Just so you know, 2ha is not meant to be funny - even though it can be sometimes - and there are a lot of rape scenes. While the author and the characters do seem to condemn what's going on, it is kinda sexualised and meant to be titillating, so if you don't believe you can take it, maybe you shouldn't.

On the other hand, I started reading it for the weird BDSM undertones, but I continued reading for the plot and the character development. Just like Scum Villain, actually. So it is good if you don't mind all the trigger warnings.

Oh and it's gettin an official English translation soon, so it might be worth it to wait until it's published.
