And she is portrayed as someone who has enjoyed the privilege of being pretty and popular, but her feelings and emotions are never dismissed for her former privileges. Haru is a pretty, fairly popular girl in her class.Here are some times when Haru talks which put this book above so many different US based fantasy books. Because for once, there’s a woman talking.
She never goes quiet, and I think that’s why I loved this book. Haru’s voice is present in every interaction, sex scene, and moment of violence in this book. And, trigger warnings – ALL THE TRIGGER WARNINGS – this book really doesn’t hold back on the explicitness, which might occasionally come up during this review, so please be warned for sexual violence and sex worker death. Still, I’ve made friends with some of the girls, and if I can juggle Chiba’s idiocy and Sumo the virgin’s emotions on top of all the various kinks my customers throw at me, things will be all right…won’t they? This world treats women even worse than the one we came from, so things get…rough. Gotta earn money somehow - but since I have to do it, I’m gonna kick ass at it. Then we got transported to another world, which I guess is like an otaku dream come true, or something? Chiba ends up with cheat abilities, and what do I get? Nothing! Lucky me, I get to be a sex worker instead. Not by choice, I can tell you that! It started when my weirdo classmate, Chiba, tried to save me from a runaway truck and got us both killed instead. You’re probably wondering how I got into this situation. *freeze frame on Haru Koyama getting choked by a horny naked dude* I don’t review well when I can’t give spoilers, so keep that in mind. Because I gotta talk about it, and especially its context and what it means for men writing women. Let’s talk about this Light Novel I read in one sitting on Saturday.
