How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying by Django Wexler

So I will start off and say that I had high hopes for this book. I mean, one of my favorite games is the Overlord series and I usually root for the villain in the best cases. But I barely got 2% in before I had to stop because it made me so uncomfortable. Now I am a sexually expressive woman but in a hostage/torture situation I am not thinking about getting head from a snake(?) being. Or even talking about my 'gory tits' or my pubic area covered in my own dried blood. I get that she is naked, and it is supposed to be an example of shame, but I had higher hopes for an author that discussed on the front of the book that there was talk of sexual assault but not the act of.

Because it was the typical religious woman goes ‘sinful’ story and also the religion just felt like an over explanation and I was skimming rather than reading.
