I can generally put up with how unforgivably horny Laymon’s work is but this one is very… it feels like a harem romance written by an incel and don’t think I’m going to be forgetting how sexualized the rape of a literal child is. I think it’s scary more because of how horrifying straight men’s portrayal of women is and less anything else.
