What ?I'll happily admit when I'm wrong and it seems you can actually be cuffed without being arrested. It just all happens after a fight scene all too familiar in adult VNs, thugs kicking the crap out of the MC for no more reason than they hate him "because" and the MC doing little, or being unable to do little, to defend himself. It very quickly gets frustrating.
Have you never been in a fight in your life ? People kick the crap out of each other for exactly that reason personal dislike.
Also when the numbers are against you in a fight, guess what you're generally unable to defend yourself from it. Besides that it's not like the MC didn't give as much as he got once the numbers were equalled out.
It's one thing to pan the writing for being inconsistent, but panning that sequence for it outside of some of the scene angles not matching the descriptive text is silly.
