Expect repeated pedo-rape jizzing.

Expect a lot of 'moral ambiguity' (whatever that is).

Expect people staring at you if you read it on the subway.

Expect a lot of obscure words and references.

Expect some purple prose that actually fits the story.

Expect /lit/ to act as if it sucks.

Expect /lit/ to act as if it's great.

Expect whatever.

"No wonder, then, that my adult life during the European period of my
existence proved monstrously twofold. Overtly, I had so-called normal
relationships with a number of terrestrial women having pumpkins or pears
for breasts; inly, I was consumed by a hell furnace of localized lust for
every passing nymphet whom as a law-abiding poltroon I never dared approach.
The human females I was allowed to wield were but palliative agents. I am
ready to believe that the sensations I derived from natural fornication were
much the same as those known to normal big males consorting with their
normal big mates in that routine rhythm which shakes the world. The trouble
was that those gentlemen had not, and I had, caught glimpses of an
incomparably more poignant bliss. "
