His character has absolutely no redeemable factors whatsoever. This is a non-consensual abusive relationship and while I can appreciate that people find it a good story (especially as you are a good writer), all I can hope is that they take a minute to think about what is being portrayed. Anyways, I repeat the fact that you can write whatever you want to and people can read what they want to. Just PLEASE ADD TRIGGER WARNINGS!

this story fits a saying in our country - pinagtagpo ngunit 'di tinadha - and it's frustrating

I dint notice there was another page lmao yesssss

How could you end it like that omg I love the story ugh hated the scene with xan .-. It was good but I just couldnt stand that it was happening skipped through it :p but like I also guess that its good she'll never see him again especially with her son this was just a wild ride and enjoyed it a lot thank you so much ahh

I've read this story before and came back to read it over again. The way this story ended was perfect. Happy endings come in all shapes and sizes.

Oh my god.
That was one of the best things I've read in a long time on this site.

Thank you :)

I'm going to leave a very honest review. I both loved and hated this fic.

Hated it, because it was extremely detestable to all my senses. The main character, from the very beginning, I viewed as one-dimensional, weak, and frangible, and that never really changed. She was never strong, she never overcame anything. In the end she just gave up, though in a different way then suicide. She succumbed to Stockholm Syndrome.

All the other characters too, were equally detestable, but for different reasons.

I loved this fic because it did what it was supposed to do. This story was never supposed to be about redemption. I was never supposed to like these characters or the situation the protagonist was placed in. Everything about this story was supposed to depict the utter pits and bowels of the human condition (as your summary nicely pointed out to begin with). And it worked. With startling intensity.

I absolutely loathe this story, because it goes against every good sense I own. I hate the weak (but human) protagonist. I hate the other characters for their vile acts and their disturbingly barbaric culture where it is okay to treat women as property and sex slaves. I hate the fact that in the end, nothing was truly resolved or redeemed. But that was not the point of this fic. So in that way, your writing was brilliant. It did what it was meant to do.

That being said, I will probably never read one of your stories again, without the proper warnings and labels added onto the summary first. Because "mature" doesn't really say anything. And "dark" would not either.

I would not include romance as a genre for this story, because that confuses people. I would add warnings and labels like "non-con" "abuse" " "dark and mature themes" "trigger warning" and even something along the lines of "what doesn't kill you can seriously mess you up".

Honestly, any additional and detailed warning you can give for this fic is not only recommended, but necessary for people who are easily affected by these sorts of themes. Don't warn them in the disclaimer (because no on pays attention to those). State these in your summary. That's all I have to say.

:)!

I finished this story and read the sequel on my ipod that wouldn't log me in for some reason so I couldn't review. I'm on the computer and I now will. I read this so quickly because it flowed wonderfully. There were so many things that happened that made me absolutely furious...and yet. Some things were nice as well...I only wish that that guy at the end wasn't Daq but her lover. I wish Miana did move on and continue her life. It's not fair that she didn't get to experience what love is really like. Because it seems she really was experiencing Stockholm Syndrome and he abused her. What they had was an abusive relationship. Period. I'm not saying you can't feel something for the other in that kind of situation but I am saying what he did to her was not okay. She deserves better than that. She isn't weak. I had hoped that by the end she would realize that what they had was NOT LOVE. But she never did :'( and that makes me sad.

Read this years ago and came back to bookmark because HOT DAMN. Had a hell of a time finding it xD

I have to admit that is not the type of story I usually read, simply because erotica isn't something I'm especially searching for in fiction any longer (and from what I guess it'll get steamy here in a few chapters). The build up is rather good however; you have a very nice style without any obvious mistakes, good grammar and a certain flow that many lack in storytelling. I like the details, the village in the tree and the demon tribe. There's definitely cliché in the way the story progresses, and particularly the character of Miana (who could use a little bit more individuality, or perhaps just some quirk that sets her apart form the usual heroine in romance/erotica themed stories), but that doesn't have to be a negative, and so far it isn't for me.
What I'm really curious about is the name Shikimiyanakatari, because it is so obviously Japanese-themed I couldn't overlook it. That meaning is it supposed to have? So far I'm stuck at shiki-miya-na-katari i.e. shiki: "the four seasons, leadership, moral/courage", miya: "palast, prince", na: "name, vegetables, wild apple", and katari: "tale, deceiver", though Shikimiya could simply be the actual surname with Katari as first name. Tell me please, I'd really like to know :D

hey i was reading this story on my phone (cant review from my phone it kinda sucks) so i went into the lands of friends to find a computer just so i can review your story cuz i loved it. your story managed to make me feel soo many emotions it was like a roller coaster of ups and very low downs i found myself wanting to shake the poor girl sometimes she could be such an idiot but i completely understood where she was coming from. i know i would never be as strong as she was i would have probably jumped from the hut the moment i was raped. but she kept on going. i do wish there was at least one girl in the village that had befriended her at least one who would be kind to her but no my hopes where crush every time. and then that demon who was kind to her died and i was like noooooo! cuz he was the first one who actually asked her what she wanted to do and he died overall it was an amazing story

interesting

ALMOST

Oh my God! Shit! I can't effin review oh my god oh my god! I'm about to read the next one! Shit! I love your work! I'm like a crazed fan and it's 3am where I'm at :D
