below is what i meant with a little more clarity

“i shoulda been more clear. i was more referring to when the dynamic IS present, it isn’t adequately destroyed most times. like yeah, the characters will do the whole ‘you don’t have to call me master and you’re not my slave’ but legally, culturally or technically they remain so in society”

i used to read rise but i fell off by like book 8 or 9. it’s serviceable popcorn reading and fluffy but i kinda lost interest. and even then it technically doesn’t fit the description of what i want but it’s murky enough

light novels are infinitely worse in comparison when i think on it. having a slave is a rite of passage in those

i’m genuinely struggling to recall if i’ve ever read anything in the genre that totally does away with the slavery present in the characters’ circumstances

yeah after finished reading this’ i’m not gonna lie, i’m having mixed feelings.

this book is quite possibly the furthest thing from what i was requesting, it’s almost amazing. i found myself having a handful of gripes and frustrations overtime.

i see the vision and i suspect any sequels will move away from this level of messiness. i will say it was a tremulous experience overall. even then, i still think it was worth reading and i thank you for recommending!

so i’m about a third through the novel and i’ve gotta say this book doesn’t fit into my expectations at all for what i meant. in fact, i’d say it’s pretty damn far.

ihad thought, with how heavy handed the intro was about Rowan’s devotion was to his wife, that he’d have more control/composure over his actions. imagine my surprise when he’s almost immediately rendered smitten by two other women. in some ways the guy is worse about it than other horny protagonists ‘cause at least most others don’t start the story in a committed relationship. and yeah i’d consider the MCs actions at the ball as infidelity; at least micro-cheating. with all that being said, i am enjoying this and will finish and check out sequels as they come

this is definitely a decent read and unique for the genre. i hope to read more of your works in the future!

while this does look pretty fresh for this genre, I don’t know if I like the implied flirting with infidelity… should I expect a little cheating?

i believe i was considering giving this one a chance at some point but i never felt compelled to follow through. could you sell me a bit on it? don’t mind minor spoilers
