This is a spoiler free review.
This light novel by MTSP Jin has an official doujinshi adaptation that I read first before reading the light novel and it is something that haunts me and many others who have seen the doujin. It presents NTR in a frustratingly realistic and sad light.
It is a story about three women and a boy who end up in a scandalous relationship with an unfortunate twist. (Its basically NTR)
For a pornographic light novel, the characters are unsurprisingly average with no depth at all yet being simple and straightforward enough in how they acted and talked to be just like normal human
...
beings, if being normal was being horny.
As the source material of the more well known doujin they share pretty much the same scenarios and plot, but where the doujin ends in a more speculative way which leaves readers imagination run wild with how ambiguous the ending was, the light novel does not do that. The story instead continues and gives somewhat closure on what happened which is nice for a doujin reader like me who had to stress over the open ended ending.
The art in this is barely present being a light novel and all, but every time an artwork is presented it is helpful and a treat in picturing each scenario. The thing I find quite charming is that Jin's unique art style is subtle and the usual hentai art exaggerations like ahegao, stomach bulges, absurd camera angles are non existent, it is a nice change of scenery and a fresh breath of air.
(Except for the usual Japanese artistic expression on the female character's chests, those are greatly appreciated)
I cannot comment on the literature as I have only read the English translation which is a slight deviation from Jin's original writing style.
But I do think the translator(s) did great on the translation and the words combined with the wording paint the scenes in my head nicely.
What about the flaws? Im too hurt by this story to point out the flaws, in fact the flaws are part of the story itself, thats how mind numbing this read is.
People with a cuckold fetish will sorta love this while the vanilla enjoyers will be bleeding hearts and enraged when it comes to this kind of work.
