    The writing itself is solid, and the buildup had potential, but I have to be honest—this did not deliver what the tags suggested at all.

    I filtered for power_bottom, size_difference, rough_sex, sexual_overstimulation, internalized_homophobia—but what I got was mostly some light teasing, a casual bisexual realization, and a half-finished blowjob that got interrupted. Not exactly what I’d consider “porn with plot.”

    There was no real resistance, no actual struggle with orientation, no intensity behind the dynamic. Viktor wasn’t possessive, Jayce wasn’t really conflicted, and the ‘size difference’ was barely acknowledged. It felt more like a slow-burn coming-of-age fic than anything that matched the tags.

    I guess I was expecting something with more weight behind it, especially given the way it was presented. Just a little confused about the direction this is going in.

      hi justthatguy!

      thanks for the feedback! i have some feedback for you as well’

      firstly, when you were looking at the tags, you missed the part where it says it’s only the first chapter out of ten (nine whole other chapters, wow!). we’re aiming for at least 8k words each so that the chapters really have the substance to bring in those tags that we added. so frankly, i think the PWP and other tags are accurate.

      secondly, we noted in the beginning of the chapter and also insinuated that characters are slightly intoxicated when their interaction happens and sometimes people do some things they might regret under the influence.

      thirdly, coming of age fics don’t normally include drunken blow jobs at the club. not sure what other coming of age fics you’ve read, but this certainly isn’t one!

      lastly, we’re saving the size difference for a later chapter.

      hope this helps!
