Tap that little slide thing to see what's possibly upcoming for the male lead and female lead stories and the difference is stark. I wish there were more female lead fantasy novels with not such a huge focus on her "love story". Or how great her abusive s.o. is.

LostInFictions just a comment on reasoning for rapes being forgivable. There are none. Rape is something that happens when someone has no self-control and commits a malicious act. Its not to protect themselves or to save someone. Murder can be accidental, rape is not. As for the stories where "the pheromones were overwhelming", "they couldn't resist the aphrodisiac", or, "they'll die if they don't have sex right this minute- no matter what!" That just feels like lazy writing. A "shock" for the reader to induce some sort of emotion. It happens in the world and too close to home, which is why I refuse to read stories that have it. (Ty, NU ) I think what I was trying to get to is there is never a "hero" that should be forgiven for rape. I don't want such a cruel hero.
I'm a little annoyed as well about the changes made, but I want to ask a question. Some of the commenters here keep mentioning they can go to other websites where they can read these stories for free. You do realize that the translators get no recognition or compensation? Those free chapters probably came from here, didn't they? Am I wrong? (Somebody tell me if I am.) If you despise the translators and writers here so much that you begrudge them even a decent wage, why are you complaining about not being able to read their stories? How spoiled are you? I love free things as much as the next person, but this is their JOB.
I am a fast reader. One chapter, especially a short one, is devoured in a few minutes. If you like a story or are curious where it's going, the urge to keep going is constant. But I don't believe that, just because I want to eat it, someone else should keep on feeding me for free. (Not gonna lie, tho, my brain is screaming "Moar! MOARRRR!!" )What a hunk of junk. Just slowly remove all features that let you read free and ta-da! Pay to read literally everything! What a fantastic update!
So basically (rant aside), any suggestions for novels with awesome female leads? And ml (if there is one) isn't a p.o.s.?
Time after time, all of the novels for women look the same. Romance, romance, romance. I love a good romance just as much as the next woman (and I'm not saying to remove it from the story), but seriously? What I really want is a STRONG FEMALE LEAD. The stories I find like that are few and very far between. Others start out that way, but then the male lead steps into the story, where HE then becomes the lead and the woman weakens. Men can rule the world, but women have to wait for their husband to help them? What is this crap? I'm not asking for a harem situation or a dominatrix. Just a woman with a strong will, who CONTINUES to have a strong will throughout the story. Also, having a male that comes in and treats her like crap or manipulates her into doing what he wants also feels very scummy. Like someone gave you a cookie but dipped it in dirty mop water. In rl those men are no longer trancendentally beautiful. They are scum. Is this a trend in novels? Or just the novels that are chosen for translation?
I've been reading for several hours on my desktop with the big screen (so I can read and knit at the same time ), but the time hasn't budged at all in the reward section. Does this feature just not work outside of mobile? If this is the case, why is it even visible here??
MirEva I didn't notice that. Thank you for pointing it out!
Me three. And Insanely Pampered Wife. (That one's actually my favorite but it gets updated far less )
Yeah, but what about IPW and Black belly miss?! A week+ and I feel like I'm suffering from withdrawal.
So if I want to read the story again from the beginning (which I do for most of my favorites once in a while) I have to pay for each of the chapters I already read? Nope. Not happening. Unfortunately, this won't be the first time that this has happened, either. Lame.
