Every time you want to open a new chapter in a book you either have to wait 8 hours or watch an increasing number of ads. Or pay for it. I’m up to 10 ads I have to watch, most of which are actually 2 ads, in order to unlock the next chapter. So NOT worth. I’ve been in this app daily for the last 10 days and it just reset my daily streak to one day. So again my “ bonus coins” to unlock chapters is less than what I need to unlock a single chapter. Don’t get me wrong - the books are typically OK. Some grammar and consistency issues but that’s to be expected in these types of books. And they can and usually do grab your attention. It’s the fact that I have to wait 8 hours for a three page chapter that is ridiculous. If I could find the book elsewhere - even if I had to pay for it - I would go there instead.

As far as I have been able to read the writing is ok might even be good but who had the bright idea for each chapter to be 5 or less pages long and to require you to watch one additional ad for each chapter read over the unlocked chapters. Not sure what exactly unlocked means since I had to pay 300 coins for 10 four page chapters and the bargain price was $1 per 100 coins so I paid $3 to read 40 pages. It doesn’t cost that much to purchase a paperback short story that length. And when I said an additional ad for each chapter read I mean the second chapter requires 2 ads be watched, the third 3 ads, the 4th requires 4 ads and to make it even better those 10 ads were the same ad over and over. I read on other apps where 1-2 minutes of ads earns you 5 minutes of reading time, with 10-20 page chapters. I can read 2 chapters in 5 minutes. I just spent 1 1/2 hrs “reading“ 5 chapters. Of that time 10-15 minutes was spent reading the other 1+ hour was spent on a single ad over and over. Another app gives you a chapter per 1-2 ads depending on length. The chapters there are a bit shorter at 8-15 pages each and I basically spent almost 1.5 times longer on watching ads. I actually had no problem with either of those apps. Another huge issue is labeling that book as bdsm. It is not bdsm it is rape and torture. People who know nothing about bdsm should keep their paws off writing about it. Just because the lycan is a sadist doesn’t make it bdsm. Among other things bdsm is all about consent, knowing and respecting limits and the ultimate power is in the hand of the submissive who can end everything just by using their safe word. Even sort of bad careless Doms always provide aftercare including but not limited to getting the sub hydrated, giving them candy or other food to stabilize blood sugar, first aid for both bruises and even the tiniest skin break, talking to them and insuring they are out of sub space and not dropping into a depression before separating from them. Nothing is done to the sub ever without their consent even when doing a non-con scene. Those are discussed and a basic outline is agreed to beforehand unless they are a couple who have played together many times and who feel safe and that their safe word will be respected. About the only thing that saves it at all is that the dom appears to be an idiot who doesn’t get if you have to knock the woman out and tie her down hands and feet in order to have sex and she is screaming it is not because she is enjoying the fantasy it is because you are really raping her and hurting her. And by the way 50 shades is also not bdsm but rather torture and abuse disguised as bdsm. I was hoping to see him smartening up but so far he just double downs every time any one hints he is being too rough or abusive. If you’re going to write torture porn at least be honest. I’m sure you will still find an audience. And don’t bother with well this is dark romance, even really really dark romance has its moments of tenderness but it also labels itself straight out as dark romance. Bdsm can be part of dark romance or it can be RASK which is a bit more extreme than common bdsm. Risk aware sexual kink is more extreme in activities but consent is still a huge part.
