So many of those urban fantasy paranormal book series! If it's written by a woman, it's almost certainly that kind of porn shit where everyone man (and male creature) fucks the main female character.
It's so bad, because I want more good urban fantasy.
what's funny is the modern supernatural aren't even the most prominent settings/genres (at least not traditionally). you have western, victorian, and medieval settings quite often.
sadly kinda true. i actually liked the anita blake books at first, but they got so smutty after a while, i just couldn't stand it... put it this way, i guess her editors figured out men were reading them, because the author actually had a lesbian scene that was so out of place, it was an actual turn-off...
Hell yeah.
I did. It had lots of good parts, but also so much cringe. I remember one of the novels that had Dresden speak to Titania, and out of the fucking blue, the author wrote a pro-gay marriage manifesto. Completely broke the suspension of disbelief, and seemed utterly out of place.
Or in the most recent one, he randomly killed off Murphy in a moronic way (even if I didn't particularly care for her), patently obviously only to have her be out of the way while he writes his fetish of Dresden being in a relationship with a vampire, and being "forced" to take part in it because of Mab, so that we can't hold him responsible for moving on from his long-term relationship at the drop of a penny.
There were many memorable events, like riding a tyrannosaurus skeleton to battle or channelling the power of a leyline to fend off an immortal shapeshifting creature, but the amount of woke, 4th wall breaking crap, makes me hesitant to really recommend the series to anyone.
