Julius mentions he got jumped by women wanting to get with a dragon; There is some sex that is regretted but I don't believe there is any that was nonconsensual

I don't remember 100% about whether there was anything implied, but I don't believe there was anything direct in the series

Pedophilia is limited to a couple mentions of children working at a brothel (first book). The first book also features reproductive coercion (a supporting character is tricked into having an abortion she does not want). A few mentions of rape during war by an army, not graphically depicted onscreen (third book).

Consenting but unequal power dynamic in a supporting character’s backstory

The level varies between books, the first is relatively safe but the third is particularly not

Also anything else by Piers Anthony, advertised as YA or comedy, but it includes rape, sexism, and good ol' pedophilia, complete with a dude going on trial for it and defending himself with "it was for love!" and the court agreeing with him that it was for love.

There is a scene where Vasya is alone with her aggressor and what he does to her is graphically described (not rape but other sexual violence). He threatens rape. She is also coerced into promising to marry him to safeguard her siblings. Plus vague discussion of what having to marry someone your father chose for you entails. /// I would say that it's heavily implied that Anna is a victim of marital rape - she does not want to get married and does not seem to have consented to sex with her husband Pyotr, who is a POV character.

This series contains a whole lot of rape both on the antagonist side and the protagonist side. Also mother/son consensual incest.

exists in the setting, won't happen

systemic issues with commodification of women; wifemongers > hence implied rape offscreen

One of the main characters, Inej Ghafa, is a sexual assault survivor, having been kidnapped and sold to a brothel at a young age.

{SPOILER] POV character discovers that a past sexual relationship was effectively set up, and although there is no mention of not consenting to sex, it is clear that the sexual element was intended as a way to manipulate her into engaging in other illegal acts.

The MC is forced to take what is basically a faerie date-rape drug and is sexually harassed (not raped) after doing so

Data for the first book. Off-screen implied rape of a minor character, multiple cases of on-screen assault, harassment, or attempted rape of the MC, one case of rape also on-screen. Plus a couple uncomfortable scenes where their sex is revealed.

happens to at least 5 major characters, prevalent and nonchalant; In the second book a main character put an inanimate object in another character's butt, I think it counts [as rapist POV]

The rape scene of the main character in the (third?) book is a real gut punch and significant portions of the following two books involves the trauma/aftermath; Main character is raped via magic drugging in Iron Kissed (Book 3). Details are harder on some of the secondary bits, but I believe there was some stuff pointed at Jesse (underage) from a secondary character in Moon Called, and then some off screen implied or explicit rape relating to minor or secondary characters.

There's definitely off-screen, implied rape in this one (Red Rising the most, but also the sequels); caste called the 'Pinks' that are created/bred specifically for the sake of being prostitutes, hinted that many of them are coerced from a very young age to believe that this sort of giving pleasure is the only thing that will give them relief from a pain that persists from their childhood (which the society obviously put in them to manipulate them); lots of violence towards women: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/b5xmkg/red_rising_by_pierce_brown_basilisk_reviews/

In Shards of Honor, attempted rape is on-screen, other rape is off-screen

Sexual assault is implied in backstory of male protagonist only. He was in his teens.

love potions, iffy consent, the narrator comments more than once about being attracted to his underage apprentice and the guilt he feels about that. It is implied that the lead is raped.

The first book involves the concept of "slave collars" which force submission through pain. One of them is on a main/POV character as she watches what is happening to another character wearing one. Also for the first book: Questionable: There is a consensual relationship involving a much younger woman (probably 18-25 age range?) and an older man (40s?); Correction to current comment: I believe there is only one collar, which is on the non-POV character. The POV character is threatened with it, but escapes before it is applied. A rape drug is also involved, intended for both characters but the non-POV character consumes all of it; Other uncomfortable material note: There is a rape accusation that later turns out to be false.

Sexual violence, coercion and non-consent is a main part of the storyline and is graphically depicted, including on-screen and off-screen/implied gang rapes of minors.

There is one scene that I recall where the main character experiences sexual violence herself. A large part of book takes place during the American slave trade and the sexual violence present in the book takes place in that time period. While sexual violence is graphic I would not call it gratuitous or sexualised/sensationalised.

There are 3 instances of on-screen attempted rape that I recall but not particularly graphic/detailed: in one of those scenes the attacker chases a PoV character but she outruns him. In the other two instances other people intervene in the situation to stop it. There is no on-screen rape from what I recall. There is one minor sub-plot involving off-screen rape/incest that occurred years prior to the events in the books. Within the band of mercenaries themselves, the Captain forbids rape by any of his soldiers on pain of death.

Main character is enslaved/raped in the first book. Pedophilia is hotly debated in the first book but undeniable with Imriel in the third book. Lots of very violent but consensual sex, starting with a very young main character. Graphic rape in book 3, but with a careful/considerate treatment of living with it afterwards, reclaiming one's sexuality after sexual trauma. Attempted rape in book 4.

Lots of very violent but consensual sex, starting with a very young main character. Graphic rape in book 3, but with a careful/considerate treatment of living with it afterwards, reclaiming one's sexuality after sexual trauma.Attempted rape in book 4.

Extremely graphic violence and sexual violence against women throughout this series starting from book 1. Would classify as a hard no for anyone remotely sensitive to it.

Elspeth is often threaten with violence but rarely of a sexual nature, appart in a couple chapters in book 2. In book 5, one group of chapters dealing with slavery imply that a lot of sexual violence happen off screen. The same for the end of the last book, and some of the backstory.

Villain attempts rape of secondary characters fairly far in.

There is also sort of traumatic magical violation that is framed in very rape-like terms

forced breeding of political prisoners to help with low population happens later in the book. Lots of implied rape happens to side characters.

Series not yet complete as far as we know

There are no references to sexual violence whatsoever.

Book revolves around a young protagonist being threatened into sex. Some ambiguity, no implication this is OK.

MC threatened with rape (averted). side character historically experienced rape (referenced/implied).

Implications that soldiers have commited sexual assault, may do it again?

A character rapes his young maids, coerces them into having their memories erased and bound into a book, then reads those books. One of the maids kills herself. There is no justice for the rapist.

Spoilers ahead. Unsure if victim blaming. MC's love interest is mind controlled and raped. MC walks in and sees it but doesn't know about the mind control, thinks she is cheating. MC leaves her there. She gets away. Shortly after the love interest's friend who can read minds explains it was rape will mind control he then feels bad and offers support/asks for forgiveness.

Rampant sexual violence as scenery and as a way of reminding you women aren't important except as they relate to men.

Early on, one PoV character is a pedophile. His experiences with this are referenced, but never flashed back to. Later on, the protagonists are in a situation where forced mandatory pregnancies are a way of life. One viewpoint character is almost raped by a child. This is depicted on screen. This covers the first book in the series, I am unsure of the others.

implied offscreen as part of the worldbuilding, word of author: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/86arrs/epichistorical_fantasy_with_little_to_no_rape/dw49wzy/

A character is drugged and raped on-screen, multiple instances of harassment. POV switches to assaulters, too. I think the victims are about 14 y/o. Their trauma and fear of their assaulters is also depicted. I don't think the sexual violence is mishandled, but it is rather hard to read.

Women are kidnapped with the intent to be sold to aliens. A few of the characters are raped by the bad aliens. For the pedophilia, a character was a foster child who was abused in the past. It didn't go into detail exactly what happened. However the "good" aliens were appalled as they had no understanding of hurting children in this way. Are there any situations in which the consent is questionable? (You've misspelled other here :)) It is a fated mating type book, which can be seen as dubious. The whole "fated mating" thing is gray in my opinion as it seems neither of the characters really have a choice. A few women are kidnapped by the "good" aliens but from what I have read they weren't raped when kidnapped by the good ones. Also this is scifi/alien erotica.

protagonist rapes another character in the first book

One of main PoVs has a flashback where he rapes the daughter of a lord in front of him during a rage. Also flashbacks of same characters sisters dying in brothels due to sexual violence.

The pedophilia is not detailed, but there is explicit mention to sexual abuse and children. However, the series deals with reincarnation, so the "child" is actually a woman who is living her third life...so the body of a child, but the mind of an adult. Not that it makes it any better.

Clay's wife and (child) daughter are both threatened with rape by an antagonist. Said antagonist is promptly thrown off a skyship to his death. Larkspur and Cura both experience sexual assualt in their backstories.

The main character was raped prior to the start of the book. I thought it was handled well, but the flashbacks are graphic enough to be upsetting. In addition, members of the Lovers Court got raided for pedophilia and one of the underage characters is heavily implied to have been a victim. Both are also sort of blamed for it by their society. I feel like the book handles this content with compassion and skill, but it's still there and one scene in particularly is pretty distressing.

Data for book 3, The Book of Flora

There is lots of implied and offscreen violence. The second book features an onscreen POV perspective of a woman tricked & forced into sex slavery

King's Dragon: A sixteen year old is sold into slavery to an emotional abuser and rapist. INTENSE emotional abuse and torture follows, as she is forbidden to see anyone she knows, and the rapist keeps trying to seduce her into telling him her secrets. He beats her frequently, and forces her to choose between sleeping with him or in the pig trough, and when winter comes, she's been so emotionally tortured she gives into sleeping with him. It leads to a point where she rebels (hitting him back) and he beats her so savagely she has a miscarriage. I've peeked ahead and she's going to get out of this situation within 50~ pages, but I can't do it tonight. Final note: this all happens in the first 200-300 pages of the book. It's not buried in the back end of the series, it's right upfront, you cannot miss it if you want to read this series.

Main character was in WWII internment camp prior to beginning of story - brief mentions of sexual violence/coercion against prisoners by guards

extremely graphic on screen gangrape. we follow one of the rapists.

Rape in the first book is largely female-on-male, with the man being drugged with an aphrodesiac. Pedophilia is questionable: the character presents herself as 14 when she's actually 16+.

A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World

One character mentions that they were raped (more than once), I don't remember anything graphic, but it's clear that it was traumatizing. The main character being threatened with rape is a pretty major plot point near the end of the book

In the first book the main character Isabeau is taken in straight to a torture chamber on suspicion of witchcraft. There she is raped, tortured, and her hand is mutilated. This scene can be skipped without missing any of the plot elements. After she manages to kill the torturer, she is formally taken to court and put on trial where it is mentioned normally people have the trial first and torture after. They victim blame her at the trial.

I wanted to add a comment that one of the rape scenes, though it technically happens offscreen, includes a character being raped as part of Extended physical and psychological torture. It is traumatic for the character and others don’t seem to get the seriousness of what happened. The “treatment” for this character is similarly sexually disturbing. Often this book gets recommended as a fun historical romance but that plot point haunts me years later.

I don't believe there's any direct or POV sexual violence, I don't remember about implied and indirect

Main character is assaulted on-screen in the first chapter. Later on she does...something non-consensual to another character while he's sleeping.

The first book introduces a class of women called MordSith who are raped and tortured, turning them into rapists and torturers in support of the main villain. A main character is captured and we are given extensive insight into his torture, including the sexual aspects of it. Magic is used to subvert free will, leading to sexual encounters - this repeats as a theme throughout the entire series. Threatened pedophilia.

Been a while since I've read it, but the big bad guy is overpowering and rape-threatening the heroine while explaining that he'll force her to marry him.

First book of a new series, don't think the series has a name of its own yet. Pseudonym for Seanan McGuire, who said she won't have sexual assault happen to the protagonist https://seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com/470626.html

If you ever wanted a book that had a society based on women raping men, look no further.

Focuses more on dealing with aftermath through realising pedophilia

for book 2: References to pedophilia off screen by several times. Violent rape of a main character by a summoned demon. They act as if she should feel shame about it or it was owed to him. This is then how she got some of her powers. Yuck.

There is a rape accusation at one point and late in the series there is lots of sex with subordinates and mind control.

MC is raped in her backstory, by a much older guy. It caused significant trauma, there's lots of victim blaming, but it's a very compassionate story focused on healing.

In book 2, POV character is drugged and taken to a party where he is assaulted, then taken to another room where he is stripped and witnesses another man be assaulted and murdered in order to frame him

Main character experiences a flashback remembering being raped by the Protagonist. It was depicted very carelessly, and trope-y, like *this* was the reason why she was fighting, even thought it was in the last few chapters and felt shoe-horned in.

main villain implied to be a pedophile, rapist pov not during the act, but the Baron describes the encounters after the fact
