>>6345210It's an interesting question honestly.
Most people have no issue with (or even prefer) the societal or supernatural elements of a quest to be hostile or dangerous. Such as having a post-apocalypse or dystopian world, or a fantasy world with dangerous creatures and monsters. Settings like this would be very difficult to live in, yet they seem more attractive for storytelling. Despite this, dangerous and toxic relationships are almost the opposite, perhaps as a form of escapism and wish fulfillment; the secondary world has obstacles that can be overcome through strength or cleverness, but the relationships are better and more "real" then real life, because real life ones are so much more painful.
