After reading the premise of the said novel....good lord, the amount of cringe is real, I am fine when it comes to fantasy and iseikai stuff, but this is literally “12-year-old fanfiction” material.

With the author’s inappropriate remarks, I guess I will stick to that judgment

And nothing of value was lost. Seriously, this LN sounds like absolute garbage.

I totally started to read the blurb (even though it was capitalized and everything) with the title as the author's statement on the cancellation at first.

Heh... that's an offbeat headline if I ever saw one.

The last thing we need is another LN that's a magnet for controversy, so the cancellation is definitely a good thing.

Okay, risque LNs and manga abound, but what in the actual hell is this premise? "12 year old" and "sex slave" should never be in the same space. The author shot themself in the foot with their tweets, but I have to wonder whether or not canceling this series would've been the right call regardless.

Plot could have been compelling if the guy were the sex slave as intended, that would have at least been different.


Still surprised something like this was even published. Seemed like something one would write as a self published thing or as an original fiction posted anonymously.

I cant imagine how you'd feel showing up saying the title of your book in front of friends family or a meeting.

Yeah. This is honestly the trashiest of trash LNs have to offer

This is why the authors (manga and LN alike) need to stay the fudge away from the social medias.

It probably was made on the internet and then the author was contacted by a publisher to get it in LN format by a editor

Who pays a little attention to what I write, knows that I go in a very different direction from the politically correct and how I defend the creative freedom of someone since in fiction everything is worth (paying attention to the indicative classification, of course).

But my friend, what a ridiculous series title.

The title and plot make 50 Shades of Grey look like a masterpiece

A shame to see this happen. That novel sounds like it could've been fairly interesting.

Regardless, if the author really had an outburst against the artist, that's not cool.
Just because an artist can get tired of drawing certain types of things, doesn't mean that they don't enjoy it, or that it's an insult to the one writing those scenes...
Artists really should get more respect than that, and it seems the author is the type to take some things way too personally...

Anyway, I hope the artist is able to find a new project to work on, since this one has been canned. Maybe move into doing R18 work, since it seems he wants to go in that direction anyway.

Who the Hell keeps publishing these stories? Christ Almighty this sounds like a doujin or an erotic novel.

Also man even from the covers the art looks basic as Hell. It looks so plain & unmemorable & the two chicks have the same face.

No creativity at all here.
