There are parts of that series that I love, and parts I feel quite uncomfortable with. I love the world building side of it, and it has been fun bringing together four different series into one larger narrative, but the focus has often been more on exploring unusual sexual scenarios at the expense of real character development.My choice is the Zar series by @AlinaX (first part here).
Love all of those.Up until two weeks ago, it would have been: "On the Simplicity of Words" by @onehitwanda but now it has to be "Midnight's Daughter" by @onehitwanda
Also worthy of mention is "I Dare You" by @bi_cathy
I feel that lack of real character development is less of a bug with S&S and more of a feature. Or at least an optional feature.There are parts of that series that I love, and parts I feel quite uncomfortable with.

I thoroughly enjoyed @MelissaBaby the entire novel series 'My Rise and Fall'. There was raw 'real life' emotion and passion. Thank you Melissa.

This story is the kind of thing I like in amateur long form erotica. In fact, I'll go a little harder. This story is the kind of thing amateur long form erotica should be. Let me elaborate...
The plot is insane.
The pacing is all over the place.
And it's incredibly smutty.
All of this is good. If I want formula, clean three act structures, and tasteful sex scenes I'll go read something broadly published, with mass appeal. Authors doing it for the money have to drive between the lines. Amateurs can take risks. And so, it's right to do so. This story takes risks. Some of them pay off. And I love it for that.
Some of my favorites are by people who are so well-regarded they don’t need my endorsement. Others are by people I know well or who are friends, and it feels a little biased.
It's not about your endorsement, it's about me finding great stories to read.Some of my favorites are by people who are so well-regarded they don’t need my endorsement.
Fair point:It's not about your endorsement, it's about me finding great stories to read.
@pink_silk_glove You're right.I believe that it is actually titled My Fall and Rise.
