This review contains spoilers. I read plenty of adult romance on MP, but I couldn’t get past the story premise. Are these even humans? What’s a reasonable justification for this society? It’s all for the shock value. It’s beyond belief. PWP is fine if you wanna write that. Don’t pretend you know how to world-build! As a fantasy/sci-fi reader, this flimsy plot device (to get the ML and FL together) annoys me. You can do better. There are better versions of this.

Seems like this is for people who like pining, misunderstandings and dubcon. No judgement. Like I said there are stories that have a forced relationship/marriage plot device that are better than this story.

Edit: The next two chapters were free. I wanted to give it another shot to convince me. It didn’t. A few more details were given about the mate system. Still makes no sense. Isn’t this just forced arranged marriages? Uses the term “mates” but there’s no soulmates/magical attraction or Alpha/Omega dynamics or werewolves/animal people/etc to explain it.

At the end of the 3rd chapter the ML is guilty over how he jealously uses the FL to punish her for “having feelings” for another guy. He’s delusional. I call a spade a spade. Trash is trash. If he was really sorry, he wouldn’t be so violent with her. He’s a normal guy; it’s not like there’s any extenuating circumstances. He’s just a jerk.
