Science Is a Shit Waste of Time

($2.99 or KU) A speedrunner, a newb, and a max-level casual walk into a virtual reality game... [Universal Link] When stuck in a video game, these three decide to go dungeon delving, but there seems to be nagas looking to. Uh. looking. Um. Delve. Their dungeon? Yeah. Salazar Zed runs this archive.

  ($5.99, part of an anthology) This short, first in this anthology, must be the longest considering it's a third of the entire anthology. A medieval servant is (nearly) fucked by a dude, and gets sentenced to get publicly fucked by an alien for her lord's entertainment. [Universal Purchase Link] HARD dubcon. Which I expected it to be by the blurb, but I read it anyway despite disliking dubcon. It's well-written and honestly I still read it despite it making me super uncomfy because I'd gotten attached to this plotline and the sex is important to the plotline. In fact, this story is like, 95% sex by volume. I probably won't be reading the rest because wow am I a fragile man when it comes to dubcon, but I don't exactly regret reading this, and again, it's really well-written and drafted- Paragonas Vaunt is quite the wordsmith!

[$2.99 or Kindle Unlimited] Lady gets a remote job with a weird boss and then gets fucked silly by said boss, who is also a werewolf (purchase link) At roughly 100 kindle pages, it takes 63 pages to get to the sex (there is a short masturbation scene before then), and then it's back-to-back sex scenes. Skip to then if you're not interested in the plot. The werewolf aspect is barely utilized. The man does growl and smell people, but he's only turned for one short blowjob scene. However, it's a perfectly serviceable plot and the sex is well-written.

  ($2.99 or Kindle Unlimited) Exactly what it says on the tin, a story that played as a completely straight office rom-com for the first half, except there's a lich. [purchase link] This one is funny. And I'm a slut for anything that makes me laugh. I was actually a little sad when it stopped being a rom-com, not because the erotica was bad or anything like that, I just rarely read something funny and I was really vibing with the office rom-com.

  ($2.99 or Kindle Unlimited) The queen of succubi has been freed from her Nowhere Jail where she then kills a bunch of dudes via sex and definitely enslaves a woman that she insists is not a slave [purchase link] This one is interesting because despite being like 50% sex, it reads less like an erotica and more as a plot-driven story. It also takes a first person route of a top, which I appreciate because you just don't see that very much. Giving this the purchased tag because of the totally-a-slave woman, even though she isn't purchased. Giving this the consensual tag because it reads as consensual, but, well. Slave woman.

($2.99 or Kindle Unlimited) A woman married to a man not afraid of sharing is approached by a devilishly handsome witch. [Purchase Link] I appreciate that this work spent time to establish that everyone wants her to fuck the stranger, but then it kept establishing that for over half the pages which gets annoying. It's also establishing it in that mixed-message way that's supposed to appeal to "I want this but can't say yes due to societal expectation" crowd, you know, the "Baby It's Cold Outside" people. I used to be that crowd, and this would have certainly gotten me off then. Now, as the title suggests, there IS a love potion involved. It's not the "you feel compelled to fuck me now" kind, but the "liquid courage" kind. Personally, I'd have preferred the protagonist consented to the spell, but again, I'm not gonna hold my personal taste against the work. It has its target demo, it hits it, but by hitting its target

  ($3.99 or Kindle Unlimited) After having an extraordinarily bad day, Abby gets drunk and accidentally summons a demon. She makes him fix her plumbing, and that's not a euphemism. [Purchase Link] Finally, you get me. Hit me with that gay shit (this is technically straight shit). It's comedic, there's chemistry, there's character, and there's a couple of typos but that's okay. I read this on Kindle Unlimited but I liked it so much I bought it outright, too. If you're a fan of dialogue and sex that focuses on touch/texture/smell moreso than the literal act of penetration, this is perfect for you, and it was perfect for me!

    A man suffering from recent blindness wanders into the woods during a depressive spell, gets hurt, and is nursed back to health by a naga that refuses to let him know he's a naga. Not an erotica, that was my mistake, it's a romance novella. Technically doesn't belong on this blog but I want to post something every week and this is what I bought with my budget for this blog. [Purchase Link] I've seen more than one blind people complain about the "counting steps" and "feeling face" trope, both of which appear in this novel, but since I'm not blind myself I can't really confirm how universal that is. Just be warned it's there if that bothers you.
