      Real page turner that one. Crunchy and fanfic-y in a good way. The pedo stuff way way too detailed for my comfort, but if that’s not a trigger for the reader, then it’s a real head trip.

      I thought that would be a great book. Too much imo, I gave it a rest after the zombie rape scene.

      Worth noting: not an author screed. Which the author was surprised he had to clarify, but I mean, my dude - have you met people?

      Atun-Shei has a great video about it. One of my old reddit comments makes a brief appearance in a shitty tone of voice. I found this out after commenting basically the same thing on the reddit submission for the Atun-Shei video. I have never been nailed so hard in my life.

      Incidentally I do still recommend Friendship Is Optimal as exploration of alignment and the control problem… with ponies. And as a more hard-sci-fi but still buck-wild examination of simulated worlds, Permutation City by Greg Egan.
