I didn't mind the series much until book 5, where the author went full raunchy and used "cock" 30 separate times instead of anything creative to describe those scenes. She took my theatre of the mind from cinemax in the first four books straight to pornhub level gonzo shit. Bah.

I've seen more creative effort describing a penis in furry ERPs.

[–] redhorsejacket@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Yeah, but describing a penis is to furry authors what talking about small town Maine is to Stephen King. They do that shit for the love of the game.

To be fair, dicks from that demographic could be anything so they do have to be descriptive.
