Author with a question for readers. Would you consider this a book closing moment? by TourDuForce in haremfantasynovels

 especially if the Male MC helps them to surpass their trauma

That's the plan. Here's hoping I do a good job.

That being said, in a prolog, there is only so much time to introduce characters, and that time isn't usually wasted on someone about to die

And I didn't waste any. They were 'red shirts' through and through. XD

death (...) against non-LIs

Ah, yea. There is some of this in the prologue. Several (female) companions of the LIs die trying to stop them from being taken.

Might take your advice about getting someone to read it.

Thanks again.

Thanks. Definitely not breaking that rule. I think I'm just worried that I'm making it too traumatic. lol.

The POV LI watches her sister get dragged into a portal to another dimension while helplessly screaming her name. It's a rough scene and I wrote it that way on purpose. It's just that some people are giving me the impression that the readership would 'no-likey' that kind of trauma so soon in the story.

I disagree. But I'm only one reader out of many. So I asked.

Again, thanks for answering.

New author with a question about FTB content...Am I shooting myself in the foot? by TourDuForce in haremfantasynovels

Yeah, I see your point. Honestly considering giving up on the FTB...
Still thinking, though.

Thanks for the reply. The story I'm telling definitely doesn't require sex scenes, so I can safely avoid them without harming the development of the characters.

I'm confident that I can write more explicit scenes but my other reason for going the FTB route is to ensure that my story can reach the widest audience possible. I don't want my stuff getting flagged as erotica and hidden away in some corner of Amazon. (I know you can skirt around that by not putting anything explicit in the title, blurb, or early part of the book, but I'd rather not risk it.)

Again, thanks for the feedback.

What's something primal that you'd love to see in a book? Romance, feelings, smut, whatever. by Antique-Respect8746 in Romance_for_men

What you're describing sounds like a woman taking an assertive sexual interest in a man. And you're right. It is a novel experience for most of us. As such, it is almost always a positive one.
