The Titan's Bride · review
It's a bit hard to judge The Titan's Bride, because it is trying to juggle so many genres at the same time. It wants to be a fluffy romance, a hawt kinky smut, but also a political isekai fantasy. It's a VERY respectable effort, however the result can be...uneven. As a political story, it is overtly optimistic for the scale it tries to portray, with almost every obstacle seemingly crossed by goodwill and determination. As a fluffy romance, it's a very competent story; even if the sweetness between Caius and Kouichi are linear and annoyingly saccharine at times, they are told with a really heartfeltmanner so that the sweetness does not become nauseating.
And as a smut, it's a masterpiece that manages to add scorching hot smut while also giving a hefty dose of loving romance and actual plot.
I actually love the controversial egg arc, even though I do wish it can be divided into several smaller arcs instead.
And yes, some points can be made about the straight-to-gay plotline that occurs at the very beginning. I feel like that's a very lazy start. But the way the story unfolds sort of makes up for it, to me.
Nevertheless, Caius hot.
