if I wanted to see a raging misogynistic edgelord talk about how women are beneath him only for him to somehow win the girl with mediocre sex and weird pet names, I'd read fucking Andrew Tate fanfiction, and I reckon I'd still somehow enjoy that more than this book.

I'm sorry but if this is their idea of good smut/relationships, then I am so sorry for straight women.

the sexual violence is never explicitly stated, it’s mostly implied and it happened in the past.

Love the twists and little easter eggs from the original inspiration. I did not see the ending coming but that made it even better. Personally, I had a hard time with this one because I started this when I was sick and had to reread a couple chapters but other than that I enjoyed the ride. I can't wait to loop in the author's other works.
