[REVIEW] Feng Yu Jiu Tian [凤于九天] Vol. 3 - [威镇博间] by Feng Nong [風弄]

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Read from January 13 to 14, 2015, read count: 1


Feng Ming's naivety is going to cost many lives. He is intelligent but still too young to be able to make good judgement of character. On top of that, he has bleeding heart syndrome despite fallen victim for this weakness of his once.

Finally I get to see the lamb delivered to the wolf den after numerous trials. Things are heating up. The actual tug of war between two biggest power is going to be very exciting.

[REVIEW] Feng Yu Jiu Tian [凤于九天] Vol. 2 - [太子出使] by Feng Nong [風弄]

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Read from January 11 to 13, 2015, read count: 1 


Another good one. Not without fault but I was totally engrossed. Because of said fault I ended up knocking off half a star so this is a 4.5 stars.

I predict the next book in this series is going to be just as exciting if not even more so. I can't wait for Feng Ming and that lecherous Ruo Yan to meet again.

[BL NOVEL REVIEW] Feng Yu Jiu Tian [鳳于九天 - 魂落西雷] by Feng Nong [風弄] - Vol. 1 [Chinese]

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Recommended for: Those who love Gay romance with engaging characters and plot.
Read on January 10, 2015, read count: 2

I have actually read the fan translation of this novel in English much earlier on. Then yesterday I decided to try my luck and listened to the original Chinese novel using Cantonese Text-to-Speech (TTS) instead since I couldn't read Chinese text. Although the TTS quality isn't up to par and there are mispronunciations here and there, I find it quite a satisfying experience.

Feng Yu Jiu Tian is a rare gem I am glad to have found through fan translation channel. I liked the blast to the past time-travel theme with a witty and charming protagonist. I really adore Feng Ming for his quick wits and endearing personality. He's so adorable I wanna squeeze him and not let go. Possessive Rong Tian wouldn't approve of it for sure. *Sighs longingly* Rong Tian is such a sexy tyrant even I wanted to be eaten by him.

There's so much to this novel than just the romance between the two main character. The plots are thick and intriguing. Being in such an enviable position as the Crown Prince no doubt it is more troublesome and dangerous than what Feng Ming had first thought. To survive, Feng Ming has to use his 21st century mind and his natural intelligence to counter whatever trouble he was forced to confront.

This is my favorite cosplay picture of this story:
These two are the best Feng Yu Jiu Tian cosplayer ever! That's exactly how the spirited uke, Feng Ming should look like. And that's the suave Rong Tian right there. O(≧▽≦)O ❤


I am not going to attempt to do an in depth review here. Instead please do visit this awesome review on a fan's blog if you are interested to know more of this amazing boy's love novel. I am going to jump on the next book like right now. Bye!

And oh yes, of course I would highly recommend this fun and interesting novel especially to those who enjoy Ancient China social and political intrigue.

[REVIEW] Pet to the Tentacle Monsters! by Lilia Ford

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Recommended to Kynthos-the-Archer by: ARC from author.
Recommended for: Fans of noncon tentacles erotica
Read from January 02 to 06, 2015 — I own a copy, read count: 1 
 

Snugly Tentacles. Tentacled Dom. Erotic Rapey Tentacles. How fun!

I used to lament that many so-called tentacle erotica out there tends to stinge on actual tentacles action. Most of the times readers have to be content with only a fraction of the goodies promised. Maybe just a short one or two scenes with tentacles sexing and the rest of the book are fillers upon fillers. So it's a nice change to find that this is absolutely not the case with Pet to the Tentacle Monsters!. The book was a chock-full of tentacles goodness in every erogenous as well as ahem non-erogenous hole.

It's exciting to find more than half of the book was dominated by scenes after kinky scenes of tentacles action from the cute and sparkly kind, the dominating and controlling to the sadistic and forceful variety. Poor Benji our young delinquent toy boy for the tentacle monsters was thrown into a frenzy of emotions. While trapped in the new and strange environment he gained precious friendship, learned contentment from his submission and what shock his system most was the intense pleasure he found through the sadistic play one of his masters seems to favor. This new side of him was confusing and the mental challenge was so great he was at a loss on how to handle it without fully breaking down.

The book is kinky. It has a long list of kinks going on but I would only list a few here:

Lots of this...
The breathplay was a nice touch.

Some of this...
I do like the syrupy fluid but it would be nicer if it has a function like a calming effect, a muscle relaxant or better still an aphrodisiac. Nothing beats having them fighting against forced arousal.

There's quite alot of this...
I like the corporal punishments but wish I could get into the head of either the one inflicting it or the recipient of it. Standing outside of the scene watching it from the side isn't as much fun as knowing what goes on in their mind while it's happening.

A touch of CBT as encouragement for obedience.

Generally there are wonky parts in the plots and writing but overall it is a nice tentacle erotica that actually delivers the porn as well as the plot. Hell, the tentacle porn starts as early as 20-30% into the book. This means that 70% of the book was pure kink since it was marathon tentacle action as soon as the kink engine started. Fans of noncon tentacle sex would love the forced orgasms, sexual torture and fruitless struggles of the violated innocence.

Don't be afraid to try this book out because Kitty here knows best when it comes to soothing the hurt and comforting the soul. Just so you know, there's plentiful of hurt & comfort in this book and I prefer Silver's version of hurt & comfort play the most.

Lastly one more thing to share; everybody loves Kitty except me. Begone Kitty.

He wakes in a plain white cell to find three very different monsters determined to make him their pet.

[MANGA REVIEW] The Caterpillar [Imo-Mushi][芋虫] by Suehiro Maruo (Illustrator), Rampo Edogawa (Author)

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Recommended for: Horror Erotica Fans
Read from January 01 to 02, 2015, read count: 1

The tale might be visually grotesque and psychologically twisted but it also showcase highly creative poetic expressionism from its intricate artwork. Thus I became a moth to a flame yet I regret nothing.

After experiencing Suehiro Maruo sensei's work here, I am keen on exploring his other works as well. His artistic style complements really well with Rampo Edogawa sensei's daring work of fiction. Both of their works often focus on the darker side of human nature.

Now that I have read this manga adaptation of the novel, 芋虫 Imomushi aka Caterpillar (キャタピラー / Kyatapirā) by Rampo Edogawa sensei, I shall be moving onto the book next. I am saving the movie adaptation of the novel for last. Actually I have skimmed through the video a little and it wasn’t as morbid as this manga and I find the actor for the ‘torso man’ looks rather pleasing. He is nothing like the poor lump of flesh depicted in this manga.

Of all things twisted that had happened in the story oddly enough my mind chose to fixate on that unique way of marinating bananas illustrated in the manga. Does that sort of bizarre food preparation really happen in real life? Or is it only in the mind of a hyper creative cum erotic writer?

*Sighs longingly* Damn! All this is giving me a cliterection.



BOOK DETAILS:
Illustrator/Artist: Suehiro Maruo
Author: Rampo Edogawa
Publication Date: 2009 (First published in January 1st, 2006)
Publisher: Enterbrain
Type: Manga / Graphic Novel
Genre: Adult, Historical, Horror, Seinen, Tragedy, Ero-guro, Psychosexual Horror Erotica, Manga Adaptation of a Novel

Description:
The Caterpillar is an adaptation of the 1929 Edogawa Rampo short story of the same name. The Caterpillar is a haunting psycho-sexual tale of Lt. Sunaga, a disfigured and limbless veteran of WWI who returns home to his young and beautiful wife. Sunaga initially is given a hero's welcome, but is quickly forgotten and shunned because of his injuries. Unable to speak or care for himself, he is completely at the mercy of his wife as she grows to loathe and toy with him.

PREVIOUS COMMENT:
Just found out that this manga is adapted from Rampo Edogawa Sensei's famous psychosexual horror short story, 芋虫 Imomushi (The Caterpillar). I have sort of skimmed through the movie adaptation of the novel and I must say that this story is so not for the faint-hearted. I would expect the no less from this manga adaptation. Therefore do consider yourself warned.
