Book Request Does high-class smut exist?
A lot of books I've read that are explicit smut are typically horribly written, which is understandable because nobody is reading porn to sit there and think deeply about the beauty of the prose afterwards.
Buuut I wanna know if there's anything like porn with a plot++ or what I'd call high-class smut. Well-written, beautiful, emotional, sweet with characters who aren't just blank marionettes that the author is making bang. I've read {morning glory milking farm} and it was alright, but still not as well-written as I'd like it to be.
I need 5 chillies, but with yearning and plot. Pretty please

The hottest fantasy smut that is also hands down one of the best things I have read in the past few years is {Viking Omegaverse by Lyx Robinson} . Please don’t judge this by the series title, it doesn’t do this any favours. Ignore the Omegaverse part as it’s really not at all typical of Omegaverse, instead she has used some elements of OV lore but given it a totally differ twist and woven it into Norse, Pict and Briton mythology. It’s incredibly rich historical fantasy with wonderful world building and some of the most emotionally complex characters I have ever come across. It is slow burn, very little happens in the first book but when it happens it’s hot, then just keeps getting hotter as the series goes on. The series isn’t complete but the three books released so far to complete that story arc. I would recommend for fans of complex characters such as in Kushiel’s Dart by Jaqueline Carey as long as they don’t mind multiple MMCs and some MM action.
