50 Shades is a piece of shit which glorifies abusive, stalkerish, and utterly creepy behavior. It is read primarily by safe, bland, suburban moms and stupid teenagers who have never experienced that kind of thing in RL and think it’s “romantic.” The BDSM crowd loathe it, because it also gives them a bad rep and glorifies genuinely dangerous behavior. And anyone who has ever experienced abuse loathes it because it sells itself as “romantic” to stupid teenagers who don’t know better yet.
“Losing” someone like Grey is not far worse than anything, it would be the thing that saved the protagonist’s life and sanity, if she were written anything at all like a real human being.
