Was it bad? Absolutely. Was it also entertaining and ridiculous? Of course. 

I was in the mood for a silly head empty book and was finally wore down enough to start this series. The opening act almost immediately being SA is giving a teenager writing their first “edgy” fanfic, but in true tumblr form I trudged through that and overall it was essentially exactly what I expected from an alien romance novel recommended to me by TikTok.

Terrible writing. A lot of rape. I was not prepared for that.

I really wasn’t down with the rape scene it didn’t add anything to the story and it was never mentioned again. It was hurtful and not written respectfully.

I mean.... I was entertained.  It's not for me. Maybe check it out if you're looking for a *fast-paced* romance between big strong possessive dumb (alien) man and strong-willed feeble (human) girl.   I was actually into the world-building the very very few times the flora, fauna, or lore was described. That was a surprising plus. 
  I would have been a little bit more generous on the star rating if not for the violence in the first chapter.   It was a lazy and  borderline offensive way to raise the stakes in an otherwise unserious story.

In the special addition, the author removes description of the rape in the first chapter but it is still made clear what it happening and it is still very disturbing.
