The trope is a problem only if it's overused and traditionally it has been. I'm not trying to defend it only the witcher books.
The witcher books are artfully written and yes there are many times where they are very dark including themes of sexual assault. They are however not exploitative or used for the gratification of the author or reader.
No, they are not for everyone but in this case they suit the dichotomy of the world and show the journeys that Geralt, Yen and Ciri went through to become a family.
Don't project your personal dislike of something across an entire genre, that's pretentious.
The writing world is changing and Authors like Brandon sanderson can imply sexual assault exists without actually talking about it, this is becoming more common as are world's that it doesn't happen at all. I like this but nor do I think SA should disappear from the genre entirely.

I haven't read this author, but shouldn't you try some of these for yourself to decide. It's subjective to some degree how people interpret the writing.

It's not that bad. I mean yeah it's got some wierd moments across the series but women are not written as objects they just live in a shit world.

I was saying this aswell until about a year ago, then I attended a history lecture.
While there are truths here including a genocidal attack on the moriori in the mid 1800s. The people that first arrived in New Zealand were in actual fact the ancestors of the Maori people.
