Sen has no memory of the castle he’s in or the princess he’s about to marry. Things grow even more confusing when the handsome demon god Lilivite shows up to kidnap his bride. He claims Sen was his lover, and if he wants to leave him for this woman he’ll have to go to his dark realm and rescue her.
Somehow, Sen knows it’s the truth. Nothing makes sense except what he felt when he saw the demon Lilivite. He’ll go to the dark realm, rumored to have energies so perverse men die of exhaustion when they dare enter, and find his answers from the demon who so compels him.
Loaded with yaoi hentai scenes, male/male loving, touching romance, and a mystery to be unraveled. A full novel in one installment with a guaranteed HEA!

Sen is the son of the god of light and purity, and his dad is none too happy that Sen’s set up house with the demon of lust and depravity. It surely doesn’t matter that they’re in love; Baldeer won’t have his offspring tarnish his reputation and thus has erased Sen’s memories.
At times sexy hot, at others, it was a bit squirm inducing. I overall liked the concept as Sen sets out to regain his life back through some rather eyebrow raising challenges. This ended somewhat abruptly, but Sen and his demon lover Lilivite, are at a very good place.
Regardless, this short will surely satisfy your “special” craving for something different. I wouldn't be opposed to reading more about these two should the author choose to write more!
Uh .. I don't know how I feel about this story. I kinda love it and dislike it a bit too. The story is very short which is ok but what's not ok is the background of the story is weak. And the ending was so abrupt without epilogue. A story NEEDS a proper wrapping. So far, the storyline is decent, MCs are sexy, it's a erotica and VERY erotic and lusty. However, you shouldn't have much expectation about the proper features of a novel considering this is a short EROTICA.
Okay, so...the story started off okay. I was intrigued by the memory loss aspect. But then they had Sen being betrothed, about the marry, a child! A literal 14yo girl. WTF? Then, his boyfriend appears and whisks the girl away to punish him, telling Sen to go find her and rescue her if he loves her so much, because he won't be ignored. Like a whiny teenager, sobbing and threatening to hurt their ex because they dared break up with them. Okay... So, big hoopla ensues - boyfriend learns the truth, Sen must go through trials to regain his memories safely, and - oh, by the way - boyfriend lives in a place that makes you erotically charged 99% of the time, until you die of exhaustion. Unless you're a God, which Sen is, so...that's okay. Swiftly followed by...what I can only describe as numerous rape scenes. Fishing with cock and ass. Fish violating Sen, when he clearly doesn't want it, while a robot holds him down to force him to endure it. Numerous violations by tree vines, and more...but it's okay, because it gets Sen hard and he comes. Oh, and then the clincher - being raped by the vines is fine, because boyfriend is watching.
WHAT. THE. EVER. LOVING. FUCK?
I'm sorry...this book does more to rationalise rape culture than any other I've ever seen. Just because a body reacts and gets hard or comes does not mean it is NOT rape. That is some weird justifying shit right there, and why a lot of rape victims don't come forward.
No. Just...no.
I have never been this disappointed or frustrated by a book/story by this author before. I can handle a little non-con or dub-con in my books. That's not the issue. It's the thought process and rationalisation behind it. The concept of it all being okay, because: a) it's a trial to regain his memories b) it's fine because his boyfriend is watching c) even the thought that he's being forced into it, but it's okay because he once did it for fun before he lost his memories d) they're not sentient beings, so that doesn't count
NO. I don't give a crap what he wanted before. That's like saying it's okay to rape someone because they enjoyed having sex with you once before. Which IT. IS. NOT. And it's not okay just because it's vines and fish, because that's implying rape by objects is better than rape by human. Or that having your boyfriend watch while you're raped makes it better. But that is exactly the mindset of this story.
I almost DNF'd after the fishing with dick incident and...honestly...I wish I had. I wish I hadn't read any more of the book, because then I wouldn't have had to think about all the other ways this book frustrated me. Perpetuating rape culture is not okay. And using fiction does not make it any less dangerous.
The lack of triggers warnings mean I walked into this blindly, and that's not okay either.
This is a yaoi story which is male with male love.
Lilivite is upset as Sen prepares to marry a mortal. Sen was his lover until he disappeared. Now in the mortal realm he has lost his memory.
Lilivite steals his bride. Sen's father Baldeer seemed unconcerned but Sen went to save her.
No mortal man can survive in Lilivite's realm. Sen is surprised to uncover who he is and facing trials to get his memory back.
The ending is fun but Sen's explanation of how they first met was a little weird, as he was talking about Lilivite as if he was not there, but he was saying it to Lilivite. That part along with a few errors and an incomplete ending made this a 4* and not 5, but it was certainly worth the read.
The characters are really good but the story needed completion. I wanted to see their event and find out the father's reaction. How the Princess felt and how the two went forward in time. It stopped too soon.
I don't have a problem with erotica. If I did, I wouldn't buy it. The problem with this story isn't the plot (actually, the plot is quite interesting), it's the writing and the pacing. Entire sections seemed rushed, and the end is literally one big exposition dump. The descriptions are peculiar and the imagery supbar. I'm not asking for a 500 page novel, but I would like some amount of effort.
Even some simple editing would have been nice, considering the amount of grammatical errors.
While the plot is interesting and the world enthralling, the execution, pacing, and writing make this story quite difficult to wade through.
I really did enjoy this story. The yaoi merged with hentai was devilishly fun, and the bratty Princess cracked me up. I DO agree with some reviewers about how abrupt the ending was. Seeing the two mains married and happy while Baldeer got what was coming to him would have been the icing on the cake indeed!

Short and steamy. I enjoyed it but wanted to see the arrogant god of light displaced and shamed with the big wedding celebration. Instead just got the insinuation of it. Otherwise good read.
