nah but why are “spicy” books a thing now?? like why are we allowing and accepting this as normal??? KIDS BE READING THAT STUFF. why can i no longer find good books with amazing plots WITHOUT that nonsense.. im having to skip 10 pages in a row to avoid it. yall do realize its no different to watching p… its actually so infuriating

I’ve a problem with people who advertise a book just by highlighting smut and sidelining the plot. But- if you don’t want smut scene then just read the age limit before starting something🤷🏻♀️ for example if someone pick up Rina kent book and afterwords complain that there’s smut then it’s not author’s fault.

I can name so many books who had the potential to be great but were ruined by er*tic scenes taking over the main plot. anyway ik I have a bias here as I view any sort of sm*t or spice just completely wrong and disgusting.. you do you ig

For that we could simply look up porn stories for free. The book, ahem, BOOK, is supposed to have a storyline, a point to the peek of it, not just smut.
The problem is the reviews hyping up an amazing story line, when the storyline is the most vague facade in the book, because its solely focused on sexual content.
@afra age limit doesn't matter anymore in books. they'll label it as 13+ and a sex scene will be in it.
