Since Halo encouraged me to post the review (and because there is a lot of discussions about alphabet soups recently) I've decided to post the review of this LN here. I read this guy's reviews from time to time and usually he is spot on with his reviews. Anyway here's the review:

Yeah, the laughter seems like an indicator. It's almost like people knew about the content of the book. But I'm not done yet because you guys need to see this bager, you're gonna love it:

It's a fucking Miami meme:kekw:. How in the world's bluest fuck it got approved? What is interesting is that, the digital synopsis is different from the synopsis from the physical copy. Strange
Anyway, thoughts?

You mentioned "review" a bit too many times for my tastes, I feel an urge to become violent.
Anyway, my opinion of reviews is as follows: I have yet to see a reviewer that knows how to review anything. So I ignore them.
I mean, this guy at least tries, "This is made for women" does mean that it should appeal to women, and I'm sure there are some characteristics you can point out that do appeal to women and all, but I don't see how he even follows that in any way.

Otherwise, all I see is whining because it's not what he expected.

I read the series, and I didn't think it was that bad.
if you're expecting some feminist title about female empowerment through sexual liberation, its got bits of that shit here and there.
but for the most part it very graphic in the portrayal of what it's like for a woman who going to have miles cock run through her on a daily basis, and it isn't hot to read, this series paints a very grim picture when it comes to prostitution, and sex work. you are going to feel like shit after reading it, and this is coming from me a dude who has an entire hard drive dedicated to family movies and pictures.

See, it's not very hard for me to think that reviewer is mentally retarded after reading another reader's point of view. I just think the dude doesn't understand the point like a whole lot of reviewers. I'm going to read it myself.

I've not read the LN but I've read the manga adaptation and id say I agree with bio on this.

tho the manga has the benefit of well.... being more graphic in another sense if you catch my drift. but yea all the people who think this is some amazing feminist work are pushing smoke out their ass. I think I recall mothers basements wife was trying to push it like that. but if you read the thing it's mostly just a story around what it would legit be like for a prostitute in a medieval fantasy setting. and tbh it's enjoyable for what it is but id hardly says it's anything groundbreaking.

ofc I don't know how it gets later on as I've only read up the English scans of the manga. so take that for what you will. but if you want something with sex in it that's got a bit more story than your average dojin then its an ok read IMO

Finished reading the LN this night after getting interested for the horny yesterday, it's quite a lot of value as porn, it's very unique in that way, because otherwise it's more of a slice of life of a prostitute. I initially thought the series might've been about this girl breaking through conventions in a misogynistic world, it was all becoming so clear with that kick the can sport and then... the director just gets her way with her and nothing changes, she didn't even get a prize, just a creepy promise to little boys. The story goes wild later on too, i feel Chiba was supposed to be more useful, maybe a character that developed because by neglecting him and not replacing him the author cornered itself to a deus ex machina that also skipped the tidbit where Haru is just anti gaming terms. I mean, why else make me sad for how helpless she is in the early stories where she'd wish she had at least him? Even after getting the powers the status quo is heavily maintained and it seems it might go the twilight or shonen route if it ever gets to an ending, like why. But whatever, it was a very interesting and fun experience, i always imagined Marin going at it and it was hilarious. Also just, a strong, confident, happy female character embracing her charms? my weakness, even tho i was frustrated with her way of thinking, she being a bit evil (killed an ex) stubborn to be a prostitute, she, her cast, everyone could've gotten much further but i understand the title had to be kept relevant to the actual content
