Wildest Dreams
by Kristen Ashley
Dnf @ p234 of p442
This is the only English novel that came up when I hunted for otome isekais. And I'm gonna say I almost shelved this as faves from the first chapters, but then the middle happen, and I just can't anymore.
I feel like the writer is trying very hard at the explicit scenes, but OH BOY! She kinda sucks...and not the good kind. The moment I read 'Yes,yes,yes,yes,yes" paragraph here, then another "Yes,yes,yes,yes" sprinkle it with the words 'undies' and, by the grace of the lord, 'baby"–that word – you bet your silly arse it's a definite drop. Not to mention they're going to talk about it to people how amazing it was when it was a pure nightmare for me... capital CRINGE-FEST.
And Jesus H. Christ! don't get me started on the homophobia and sexism. Shamefully, I was already warned about how there's a bit of them. And I was so smug cuz I said to myself, if there's little, I could take it. I mean, I read a lot of Historical Romances, after all.
Let me get this straight. There isn't a little bit of homophobia and sexism here, readers. There is a giant cockatoo of 'em. Literally, every time the main characters interact, it stinks of sexism! and every time the thoughts veer to the original ice princess, the homos be snatchin'.
So that's it, I'm out.
