Only 1,360 pages and it’s going to be a wet summer. Let’s see if I can do this.

“Genji was moved that she spoke with such tenderness, her voice trailing off. All of my women, each in her own way, have qualities that make it impossible for me to abandon them. It makes my life very trying.”

Genji is a slimeball. He is a party prince, demoted from real responsibility, and wealthy enough to make his perverted wishes come true. The style of writing is so good. So colourful. So funny. So elegant.
Each chapter is named after a conquest. A woman, girl, boy (if no-one else is available at the time), or child who he chases after and eventually gets, only to discard, store for later, or keep in service.

If I’m seen to be reading thick books people might think I’m smart 🤓…
Wow, 1360 pages. Hopefully it’s a fun book.

This is one that I've had on my list for many years and not yet attempted, your experience may be inspirational for the rest of us!
Haha. I am currently experiencing this very dilemma. Plus it won’t stop raining so I don’t want to risk getting it wet. But what I’ve read so far does seem promising.
