Amazon is full of a budding wave of men writing romances. Hell, dozens of fantasy books for men are quasi-romances where 'the boy gets a girl'. It's a fucking classic trope.

What do you think the recent rise in haremlit novels is? Books like pircrel are all the rage. Not exactly mainstream yet, and has a certain reputation, but oyu only need to look at what people're reading to see the interest's there.

Mana Master made me think Saving Supervillains was just an accidental good book by Bruce Sentar, but Dragon's Justice is suprisingly decent...for a harem book. Funny thing though, in Mana Master the protagonist scored girls left and right, instantly building Harem, in Dragon's Justice the protagonist doesn't even build harem, more even, there's only ONE sex scene, with only ONE girl. That's wild for this genre, I'm shocked that the author actually went with that. This book is like the opposite of Mana Master, still only decent, but the improvements are staggering. Not even a full year of between those two books.

As for the book itself, while I read it for its refined coomer value, it had not much of that in truth. If anything this was a romance book with a decent 'an average guy turns out to have special powers and kicks ass while getting a girl.' This shouldn't even count as harem genre if not for the insinuation of what can happen in the latter books. Surprsing myself, I didn't drop the book despite its lack of cooming values.

To be frank, a normal reader would be dissapointed with not-good-enough plot, a coomer would be dissapointed with little to none sexual content, even though the tension is there. A decent-enough romance, interesting female interest, a protagonist that doesn't make bump your head on the wall...honestly, at this point I'm just rationalizing why I liked the book.

6/10

(genuinely unsure why I rate this book so high), weak coom book but a decent foundation for a harem series. Will see whether the second book in the series is better as the ratings suggest.

Also, I think I'll start reading the lesbian equivalents of fantasy erotica for men, for instance, Primal Touch is about a photographer and her hourney into the jungle looking for a mythical tiger, when she meets a fierce amazon who protects her tigers. Of course, they fuck, but that's obvious from the description. It's the differences between male and female writers that interest me.

Fun fact: I've read 26 erotica books in the last three months. I am experiencing Coomer Ascension. Once I end up reading every popular erotica book, it will be the reading chart to end all charts.
