Smut was two blunt sentences per scene, not compelling at all. And having a bunch of dudes sexually harass FMC isn’t poly wtf 😭 MMC was all brooding without the secretly being a sweetheart part. I can’t believe this is like a 6 part series. Found through authors instagram reels.

The actual world and concept of this book is REALLY cool. I HATE the king MMC. If the MMC had been edited into the same concept and character but with less thinly veiled non-consent (just bc she ends up liking it doesn’t mean it’s not non consensual) this book would almost be a 4.
I think I get what the author was trying to do with him, but he’s not redeemable to me. He’s abusive and irrational. Luckily one of the MMC is a cinnamon roll or I would have DNFed it because I found the MMC really unbearable, and triggering, even with the cool world and story line. I want to read the rest of the series because I like the world but I can’t do it if the king MMC acts the same and doesn’t actually apologize and change.

Good plot, interesting premise, horrendous ending.
Basic points of the premise: is technically post-apocalyptic, the apocalypse was caused by demons and magical beings taking over the world, all humans in existence have been enslaved for generations over 600 years at least.

Some of these tags don't exactly fit because the book is high fantasy, but the theme of the tag is in the book.
