Description
Perdi, known widely throughout the continent, is a very famous author of adult novels. But Perdi’s true identity is actually Vivian, the Imperial Night Librarian. Vivian sends over the fourth draft of her latest novel to her publisher to be reviewed, but her work is criticized because the way she writes hetero s*x scenes isn’t erot*c at all. “What? So you’re saying I’ll only know what s*xual relationships are like after I experience it myself? But what can I do when I’m bound to a c*astity contract?” Unfortunately for Vivian, she had to sign a c*astity contract in order to be hired as an imperial servant, and has been forced to remain a virg*n ever since. Worse still, only a member of the imperial family could break the contract … but Vivian only has eyes for Ray, a mysterious man who visits the library every night. But as it turns out, Ray is the imperial archduke and the emperor’s brother! One day, he approaches her with a sweet offer that she can’t resist …

My Thoughts on History at the Library
"History at the Library" is quite the ride, a novel that seems to evoke strong reactions, both positive and negative. Diving in, I found myself intrigued by the premise: a curious, bookish female lead who also happens to be an erotica writer. This immediately sets the stage for a potentially fun and quirky story.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the potential for a unique plot. The idea of a librarian drawing inspiration from her surroundings, particularly a dangerous and intriguing individual, felt fresh. I appreciated the initial focus on the female lead's perspective and her struggles with her writing. The early chapters hint at a playful dynamic, which definitely piqued my interest.
What Works Well
Many readers praised the female lead, Vivian, for her cleverness and proactive nature. I agree; she's not a damsel in distress, and that's a refreshing change of pace. There's also a certain sex-positivity to her character that I found interesting, especially considering the premise of a virginal erotica writer. Some readers highlighted the humor and originality of the plot, finding it a refreshing departure from typical tropes. The initial focus on movement rather than sensuality in the earlier scenes also struck me as a clever narrative choice, reflecting the female lead's observer status.
Areas of Concern
However, I can't ignore some of the criticisms leveled against the novel. Several readers found the plot to be lacking substance, with the smut scenes overshadowing any meaningful development. Some even went as far as to describe certain scenes as bordering on non-consensual, which is a serious concern. Others pointed out issues with the translation quality, including confusing pronouns and awkward phrasing, which can definitely detract from the reading experience. The slow pace and infrequent updates were also a common source of frustration.

Final Verdict
"History at the Library" is a mixed bag. While the premise and the female lead's character are undeniably appealing, the execution appears to be inconsistent. If you're primarily looking for a smutty read with a strong female lead and are willing to overlook potential plot holes and translation issues, you might find something to enjoy here. However, if you prioritize a well-developed plot, nuanced characters, and a polished translation, you might be better off looking elsewhere. Ultimately, your enjoyment of this novel will likely depend on your tolerance for its flaws and your appreciation for its strengths.
