Blood Of Hercules

If someone likes this book, that means they're looking past all the misogyny, bigotry against gay and bi people, disgusting abusive behavior thats touted as good, and in general, just poor writing.

The book is really weird about asexuals and virgins, but it's also weird about bisexuals and people who have sex a lot. Theres also a weird comment about only liking one gender.

I've read it, and I agree with everything you have said. This book represents everything wrong with the romantasy genre. One female character that is also an MC. Writing that Grok AI would spit out. The amount of cringe worthy phrases, "free the nipple," was my favorite to see in a book.

Fuck this book. Edit: also it’s kinda aphobic lowkey

I read and annotated this for my book clubs “traveling book”. I made a note of every time that my eye actually twitched due to the egregious abuse of myth.

It's written like one too, with such amazing phrases as "male thotch (thigh crotch)", "Cunt--absolute cunt, served." (did you know this takes place 70 years into the future and they still talk like brainrotted imbiciles who misappropriate aave and gay culture lingo?), "fluck the flucking world. Life's a biatch like that. Yes, I was in my emo era."

Alexis is up in the running for worst main character this year. ... She has 0 agency in the story. Things happen to her rather than her affecting the plot. She is a weak, pathetic excuse for a "Spartan" (I hate that they call them that) who exists only to be kicked around by the plot and the other characters.

Once you start to think about it, there are so many choices in the worldbuilding that make absolutely zero sense. ... There is no reason for any of these choices; they're just made to move the plot along. But when you worldbuild, you need to have options for your laws/backstory or else nothing feels believable.

And after almost a week of reading this book, I can safely conclude that this is one of the most dogshit pieces of "literature" my eyes have ever laid upon. Not only that, but if anyone walks away from this book thinking it is even marginally good, they have worms in their brains. There are no redeeming qualities about this book.

The whole fun of a reverse harem is that the love interests all have different personalities and thus, dynamics with the main character. So tell me why all of the goddamn "love interests" have the same overbearing, toxic, rapey personality. Literally every single one of them hates Alexis and continually either berates her, attempts to torture her, or sexually assaults her and claims she's "theirs."
