I am not a prude myself, but for me it’s like trying to fill holes (ha!) in the story with smut scenes. I get it, the characters had sex. Big deal. 🤷♀️

Now you’re making me curious if there are series like this where full-on sex scenes have actually important info/growth/plot relevance without feeling like cheap filler. Overall though I think scenes like that can still serve a purpose when done correctly, like show off a different side of the characters. I feel this series is a good example of that - compare “normal” and “tea time” Pell (to use manhwa’s terminology here).
Also, I’m not gonna lie, well drawn smut can be a great read from a purely technical point of view. I love analysing how people draw stuff, especially bodies as nature is something I have HUGE problems with myself, so even without plot relevance I tend to get something out of things like that. I know people often joke how they check these things for art but that’s actually kind of where I’m at most of the time.

As usual, no notification… 😢
The only one I can think of is Lucia, but I also am not sure if there’s a non R19+ version.

I can try pinging you in my replies to see if that helps, if you want.
Lack of lower age version isn’t a problem considering what we’re talking about, I’ll add it to the pile and check when I have some time. Thanks!

The main issue is that I had to switch from Sync to Voyager, and the latter doesn’t have push notifications. Not sure pinging me would help. 😢
Talking about the pile:
