Description
“Sin… it’s a word that suits me, not you.” A mesmerizing low-pitched voice rang into my ears. It sounded heavy and deep as if it came from a cave. It was a devilish baritone, like a deep rumble from a cavern. Lily didn’t seem to notice how it sounded like he was restraining his anger. This was the first time she heard his voice. “Tell me. Who were you mourning for until our wedding day today?” Lily wore a plain black dress that covered her from neck to toe in uncomfortable and unsightly fabric. Even if she really was mourning, the outfit was just too excessive. “Is it for your first husband who died during the war? Or is it for your second husband who died recently?” “It’s not like that. I’m really… Ah!” He turned her over until she was on all fours. A hand mercilessly slid into her dress. The sound of the stiff fabric crumpling accompanied her scream. It was obvious what a touch to the inner thigh meant. Tension and fear curled in her gut as the duke firmly held her by her hair, causing her to look up and see the sacred artefacts and statues on the wall. Her conscience flinched. Lily shut her eyes and his voice pierced through like a punishment once again. “Or were you thinking about your third husband’s―my―death?” Duke Vladislav de Winter. And as of today, Lily’s third spouse. They were supposed to be having their wedding in this very chapel. Lily was unable to answer his question as his fingers unexpectedly dug into the apex of her thighs. Thick, calloused fingers spread her flesh and brushed against a particularly sensitive spot. Electricity coursed through her body.

My Thoughts on If I Disobey the Duke
"If I Disobey the Duke" is a web novel that definitely sparked some strong opinions in its readership, and after diving in, I can see why. With a blend of drama, fantasy, romance, and a healthy dose of smut, it aims to deliver a captivating story, but whether it succeeds seems to depend heavily on individual tastes and expectations.
First Impressions
Initially, the premise grabbed my attention. An arranged marriage, a seemingly abusive past, and a strong emphasis on sensuality promised a complex and intriguing narrative. The early chapters certainly deliver on the heat, establishing a palpable tension between the leads.
What Works Well
There's no denying that the smut scenes are a major draw for many readers. They're described as steamy, descriptive, and well-written, catering to those seeking a more explicit romance. Beyond the spice, I appreciate the exploration of trauma and the slow burn development of the relationship, even if it is frustrating. The female lead's journey of growing confidence, while painstakingly slow, offers a glimpse of potential. The translation is also consistently praised, which is always a huge plus.
Areas of Concern
However, the slow burn seems to be a double-edged sword. The biggest criticism I noticed revolves around the female lead's character. Many find her frustratingly timid, submissive, and unable to communicate effectively. This leads to stretched-out misunderstandings that test the patience of some readers. The male lead isn't without his flaws either. His actions, though often intended to protect the female lead, sometimes come across as possessive and controlling, further fueling the communication breakdown. Some also feel that the dialogue can be confusing, hindering the overall understanding of the plot. I think that the dynamic between the leads is not for everyone, especially readers who prefer a healthy, communicative relationship.
Final Verdict
"If I Disobey the Duke" is a novel with a clear target audience. If you're primarily seeking a steamy read with explicit content and are willing to overlook communication issues and a potentially frustrating female lead, you might find enjoyment here. However, if you prioritize a healthy, communicative relationship and a strong, independent female lead, this might not be the novel for you. It's a story with potential, but its execution leaves something to be desired.
