The “other place” might give me more views (and they vote better too, haha) but good old SoL just works better. You can actually maintain a regular posting schedule here.
Looking back at it, chapter 4 is probably the weirdest chapter of ATWB. I suppose that’s not really a good way of putting it - there is nothing all that weird about ATWB. It’s probably better to say the chapter is the one which leans most into the idea that the story is taking place in a different world - almost a “high concept” kind of thing… hahah.
By setting the story in a different world, I was able to play around with some of the common tropes and conventions of smut fiction. For example, the ability of the MC to rail multiple women, several times a night. Well, as it happens, in the world of ATWB, there is a pill for that.
As I’ve said previously, I didn’t want to make a “big deal” out of this, in the same way as I didn’t want other elements about the setting to come to the foreground, the way they do in Fantasy (with a big F) fiction. Ultimately, the story is meant to be a romantic boy/girl* story - it isn’t “about” the setting.
* Well, boy/girl and all the other girls the girl likes having sex with because, after all, it's smut.
