S*ave President, Master Secretary

My Thoughts on S*ave President, Master Secretary

Alright, let's dive into "S*ave President, Master Secretary." Going in, I knew what to expect: a healthy dose of adult themes, BDSM, and a power dynamic that's, shall we say, interesting. After finishing it, I have some thoughts.

First Impressions

The premise is definitely attention-grabbing. A president and his secretary engaged in a BDSM relationship? It screams potential for some steamy scenes and power play. The initial chapters hooked me with the promise of exploring that dynamic, but whether it delivered is another question.

What Works Well

The novel's strengths lie primarily in its smut. When it hits, it hits. There's a certain depraved, pervy charm that some readers, including myself, found enjoyable. It's a fast-paced, concise read, which can be a plus if you're just looking for something to spice things up without a huge time commitment. I did appreciate that the author didn't drag out the intimate scenes for excessive lengths. It knows what it is and doesn't try to be something it's not.

Areas of Concern

However, there are some significant drawbacks. The "plot," if you can call it that, feels rushed and nonsensical. It sometimes feels like it's there to simply bridge the smut scenes, and not in a particularly compelling way. The BDSM aspect itself is somewhat lacking. It felt more like a surface-level exploration, missing the crucial elements of consent, communication, and aftercare that are essential for a healthy dynamic, even in fiction. I can see why some readers felt uncomfortable with the power imbalances and potential for manipulation. The transitions between positions during intimate scenes were sometimes confusing. I also felt that the characters' motivations weren't fleshed out enough. The MC is acting like a child when he is supposedly 30 years old, and the ML is 25 but somehow has 10 years of slave training.

Final Verdict

"S*ave President, Master Secretary" is a mixed bag. If you're looking for a quick, smutty read with a BDSM theme and aren't too concerned about plot or realistic dynamics, you might find some enjoyment here. However, if you're seeking a well-developed plot, nuanced characters, or a thoughtful exploration of BDSM, you'll likely be disappointed. For me, it lands somewhere in the middle. It entertained, but it also left me wanting more.
