Pretty much no update gets a positive response here tbh. Wouldn't use that as a gauge.
I think most of the criticisms are pretty legitimate, especially when it comes to the writers focusing on their own likes/dislikes. Sometimes I'll look to see who wrote a scene, and usually when I'm impressed with the quality of the writing, William or Wahn is the author, but when I'm looking because I'm wondering why the character really, really wants me to know their tastes in sex, it's almost always Savin.
There's a balance obviously, and the vast majority of Savin's writing is seriously good stuff, but there should never be a moment where the reader starts reading biases rather than kinks, or ego over connection.
ie the PC hates anal but does it for Syri, and it's nothing but "you love this, don't you buttslut? you bitch in heat, but not heat obviously, because I'm fuckin' your butt!"
Bit exaggerated obviously, but it leaves nothing for anyone but Savin.
