Well then judging by the title it’s about a group of coworkers?

The drawing is super suggestive, that Minotaur is ripped, face looking down while his chest pump up showing physical dominance while his “enemy” with his height only achieving the bare minimum to cover his massive huge humongous…personality

This is fantastic. Thanks for posting the reddit link, which has now been edited further:
EDIT 2: Apparently I also
owe an apology to the small (but vocal) contingent who really wanted this to be minotaur smut.I’m doing my part. Now get typing.Be the change you want to see in the world.
And the linked thread is basically a writing competition that the author is hosting with a $100 prize. The title is “Announcing the 2026 Beefhammer Prize For Excellence in Minotaur Erotica”. Lovely!

He’s upset because everyone made the wrong assumption, it’s actually a story about a sentient staff that gets revenge for being used as a sounding rod for 30 years.

Ouch. Seriously, what was he thinking with that cover. Or the artist for that matter. Should have shopped it out to at least one friend and asked “based on the cover, what do you think this is about?”
I mean the name literally has “The Staff” in it!

This seems to be garnering a lot of attention. Maybe he knew exactly what he was doing.

I’m not convinced that there isn’t a whole lot of gay minotaur sex in this book.

My takeaway here is that there’s apparently a market out there hungry for Minotaur smut.

There’s a market out there for literally any kind of smut you can think of. It might be a small market, but there will be a market.

And small as it may be, you will get paid better for your minotaur smut than you will for all your non-smut writing combined.

Hell there’s even a market for market based smut where craft markets are having anal sex with farmers markets while simultaneously having illicit affairs with stock markets. Everyone needs a little lovin’.
