There is such a thing as too much smut

I never thought I would say those words but there's just too much sex. (⊙…⊙ ) I know. But, seriously, the sex took over the plot at some point and I don't even remember what was supposed to have happened. Don't get me wrong, I love PWP (porn without plot) when it establishes itself as PWP. Gimme the briefest of introductions to the characters and then draw them in bed- cool. But this went through the trouble of setting up a plot just to have nothing happen but sex. It was almost like the author would throw in a sex scene whenever s/he had writer's block...It reminded me of one of those cheesy pornos where rpthey set up a 15 minute intro with some delivery man or handyman coming to a lady's house, only to turn into scenes where you couldn't tell them apart from any other characters. Why even waste our time with the narrative in the first place then?

    fam you're not even wrong

    You're completely right. That was exactly what I was thinking. The story wasn't half bad, but the sex scenes were just too much and also of that run-off-the-mill porno quality. They made it difficult to follow the story. Well, fast forward helped a lot, though ^^. That's such a pity. Harumi Chihiro's artwork is so nice and the stories are pretty good too. Velvet Kiss also suffered a bit from this, but not to this degree.
