âVivian, I know your potential and what you can achieve. The three books youâve written till now had swept through the Empire in a revolution. I have always found you extraordinary and given you my utmost gratitude. Because of you, our publishing company was able to prosper.â
He swept up his blonde hair and let loose a long list of praises for Vivian. The reason for the little patience he had left was due to the fact that the once near-bankrupt Malicornia Publishing Company was able to build an office in the capital â all thanks to her.
âHowever, donât you think it would be troubling if the fourth novel is like this? There is nothing here that would add to the plot and development of the novel and it hasnât even fully developed as an âerotic novel.ââ
âThe true nature of an erotic novel is not the âactionsâ, but the âsensualityâ, you know?â
âWhat youâre saying is correct, but I donât think itâs something you should be sayingâŚâŚ.â
âWhy? Why canât I say that!?!â
Thatcher put on a sour face for a moment and shook his head as if telling her to forget it.
âThe romance genre, which many young aristocratic ladies enjoy, is always generating more famous authors as if pouring out water. By writing erotic novels, you were aiming for a new and different market and audience.â
She was irritated that Thatcher was saying all the right things. Vivian pushed down her wounded pride and quietly muttered.
âYou dare to debate eroticism in front of meâŚâŚ.â
In this world, before Perdi appeared like a shooting star, erotic novels, in other words âa novel that combined romance and erosâ, did not exist.
Of course, prior to Perdi, there were novels that dealt with lust. However, it was a novel focused on the deed rather than the emotion of love. The kind of lewd novel only drew the images of the relationship and no more.
Thus, the concept of an âerotic novelâ was made entirely for the first time by Vivian, who went by the moniker of Perdi. As the creator of a new genre of novels, it was a feat so great that it could be written into the pages of history.
Of course, it was not merely luck and skill that made erotic novels so popular. It was because Vivian caught onto the changes in trends well.
In the last several hundred years, monarchy took its place in the world, and as religious reformations arose, orthodox religious establishments steadily lost their power. The witch hunt was entirely scrapped. In the midst of it all, religious messages from the temple like âthe sin of chasing after pleasureâ or âsince women were more easily swayed by the Devil than men, celibacy was the only salvationâ were all declared nonsensical.
As such, even in a deeply rooted male-dominated society like the Astia Empire, a new wind began to blow. Once not even considered as a human being, but rather as property, the status and authority of women quickly rose. Now it was standard that aristocratic ladies were able to read and write. Not only that, more opportunities were given to commoners and establishments that were built to teach children to write, also grew in number.
In pace with these changes in trends, Vivian published a novel aimed for an audience of adult women and immediately made immense monetary gains. She had become part of a new wealthy class that had no precedence and had amassed more than enough wealth to do nothing else but play and eat for the rest of her life!
As a result, Thatcherâs conduct of the debate on âeroticismâ in front of the creator of erotic novels was inevitably shocking.
However, Thatcher rebutted shamelessly. And he did so with hard facts that stabbed the sensitive topics.
âUp till now, the quality of sex scenes are alike. Even though itâs an erotic novel.â
âWhat?!?â
âThere isnât even jack shit of sexual tension.â
âAh! As if there isnât even a jack shit!â

âTo put it harshly, it isnât arousing at all!â
Itâs easier said than put!
Vivianâs blood pressure rose in anger, but she was unable to rebut Thatcherâs criticism. To be honest, she herself also agreed with him.
