Description

An outbuilding entered by chance. The man was completely naked, not even wearing a single piece of clothing. Leeseo’s jaw dropped. … … Oh my god. The thick pillar positioned between the man’s legs was still ere*t even when pointed downward. It was the size of a person’s forearm. A languid voice flew like an arrow and struck her ear. “You’re staring too much. Does my d*ck look so tempting?” When Leeseo reluctantly opened her tightly closed eyes, it was still there. A hideously large penis, that is neither lacking in length nor thickness * The moment their eyes met, Taegyeom’s intense gaze seemed to engulf Leeseo completely. It was a fierce kiss that swept everything away like a violent typhoon pounding against the window. – Leeseo clenched the hand that was reaching out to him into a fist. She didn’t need to fall any deeper for this dangerous yet captivating man. Whether it was the flotsam of emotions this man carelessly let out or a sinister habit that aroused the vindictiveness of the women he lured into his bed. – Taegyeom felt it. Once he had tasted this enchanting flavor, there was no going back to what it was before. Whether it was a poisoned apple or the dark allure that led him to destruction, once it fell into his hands, it was now his possession to devour.

My Thoughts on Lights Don’t Go Out in the Annex

"Lights Don’t Go Out in the Annex" is a web novel that certainly took me on a rollercoaster. Jumping into this book, I was expecting a melodramatic romance, and while I got that, I also got a healthy dose of mature themes and some pretty intense smut. The overall experience was a mixed bag, but ultimately, I found myself enjoying the ride.

First Impressions

The title itself struck me as a bit odd, leaning more towards a mystery than a romance, which set a slightly misleading expectation from the start. The initial chapters felt a bit slow, and I struggled to connect with the characters, especially the male lead. His initial portrayal as a "manwhore" was off-putting, and it took a while for me to warm up to him. I also found myself wanting more plot development early on; things felt a bit aimless for a while.

What Works Well

Despite my initial reservations, the novel has its strengths. The smut is undeniably a major draw, with some scenes stretching across multiple chapters. However, what really hooked me was the male lead's character development. The way he falls for the female lead is intense, bordering on obsessive, and it's fascinating to watch him transform. I also appreciated the female lead's initial assertiveness and how she navigates her feelings, even if she sometimes lacks confidence in the male lead's abilities. The side stories were also a highlight, providing some sweet and satisfying moments.

Final Verdict

"Lights Don’t Go Out in the Annex" is a flawed but ultimately enjoyable read. The initial slow pace and unlikeable male lead might deter some readers, but the intense romance, steamy scenes, and eventual character development make it worth sticking around. While the plot relies on familiar tropes and the ending has its issues, the novel offers a compelling exploration of obsession, power dynamics, and the complexities of love. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
