You know what I love most about Novelupdate reviews? It's when people review novels using their own personal preferences despite the novel obviously not fitting that.It's so common now that I can't get mad over it. Reader comes into a medieval themed novel about a marquise abusing his position to r*pe people, has the tags "R*pe", top reviewer warns about r*pe, but the reader reads it and then leaves a negative review because the protagonist r*ped someone. Forcing someone to have s*x without consent nor consideration is r*pe. If you want to complain that the girl, which the protagonist is forcing to have s*x, doesn't want to have s*x, you shouldn't be reading this in the first place.Moving past all of that, this novel is very different from a lot of other adult novels on this site. It favors being realistic over the many tropes found in JP literature. By that, I mean the protagonist feels like a real person, the characters and relationships he starts feels realistic, and the reactions as well as the world feels genuine. I'm sure plenty of other reviewers cover this stuff better than I could, but I still want to reiterate that you are almost certainly not going to enjoy this novel if you are looking for common 18+ plots.This means characters won't fall in love when being r*ped, our incredibly young and virg*n protagonist is going to be pretty mediocre at s*x for a while, and the emotions as well as actions of our protagonist will be more human. I recommend giving it a try as it's definitely unique, but understand that some people obviously won't like it.
