If you are familiar with anime/manga then possibly Fruits Basket is the comparison that comes to mind. The Sohma family are afflicted with a curse in the form of animals of the zodiac. The central female protagonist Tohru is something of a ‘queen’ to them and cures them of their zodiac altering one of them into a cat. However the tone of the work is very different to Missing Links and is far from a romance harem, more of a heart warming work that focuses on the emotional healing that the main character brings to the group of ‘monsters’. There are 12 Sohma members plus Ofune the cat, rather than 9 main males that the central female leads to transformation in this work, which is much more wholesome and less focus’d on steamy moments than Missing Links.

There’s this really pretty cover for this series of novels. It’s a woman in the center and she’s surrounded by these gorgeous, glowing men. Some of them have animal features but they’re all really pretty. The books are all really pretty too. Every now and then I look at the cover of Spoiled by My Nine Beast Husbands and start to imagine the story. My imagination for the story of Spoiled by My Nine Beast Husbands might even be better than the actual story. That would be the ultimate free version of the book – just making it up as I go along. I could make up whatever I want – the plot could go however I want it to, the pacing could be whatever I want it to be, and I could make up the personalities of the nine husbands to be whatever I want them to be. There’s no paywalls to get in the way or bad translations to get in the way of my imagination. Maybe my desire to read this for free is just my desire to play in this one woman’s fantasy world and I don’t need the text of the book for that.

Viewed through a critical lens, the ending of our story fails its female protagonist. Despite the plethora of power she had accumulated over the course of the novel, in the end she is set up as the passive object around which the men in her life perform a ritual of great complexity. They are the ones who set up and defend her and negotiate the terms of her bond. The female Catalyst of story’s end is also its Reward; rather than being the architect of the solution to her personal dilemma, she demands of no one and chooses only to agree to the terms already laid out for her in the biggest choice she gets to make in the entire story. She is set up on a pedestal, revered, even worshipped, and in the end, made powerless by the devotion of the men around her. It’s all a symbol of empty empowerment.

It’s also possible that the translation just got abandoned by the group or solo translator who started it. Many, many fan translations get this way – someone starts translating a really long novel, gets 50 chapters done, and then life gets in the way or they lose interest. All the half-finished work can still be on the translator’s blog, sometimes on WordPress or a free Blogspot site. If you search for “Wolfless to Queen of Wolfs chapter 1” you might find a link to an old blog post that the author hasn’t updated in years. You won’t get the full story, but you might get a few chapters to give you an idea of whether or not it’s worth your time to search out more.

Ugh, the paywall is real. I spent my hard earned cash buying coins after being addicted to the free chapters. I have to admit it’s a slippery slope though. You read one free chapter, then before you know it you’ve spent 40 dollars or so within a weekend to continue reading the rest of the story. These apps are literally designed to make you continue to spend, so my advice would be to set a budget before you start to download the app and then just buy that amount of coins to spend within the app and then that’s it once they’re gone, just like you would with a video game. It’s not worth risking your rent money for a story that isn’t even Shakespeare, although it is fun.

And the title of the book implies a sequel. ‘Too Hot at the Backseat’ is a journey to some end point. The backseat of the car is a transition point between passenger and driver. So, a sequel to this would logically be ‘Just Right at the Destination’ or ‘A Chill in the Driver’s Seat’. I admit I was playing with the title of the book, but the implication is clear – the author is setting up a narrative promise that isn’t being fulfilled in this book. The structure of the book reads like the first act of a larger saga. We don’t get to learn more about the protagonist’s power in this book. We get the origin story for the protagonist’s power, and then the story ends with a big curtain fall. It’s the worst kind of ending for a superhero-adjacent story.

This map is very intricate. There’s the official app for reading a novel, and then there’s this shoddy aggregate site that mashes up a bunch of different sources. And then there’s this person who’s put together a beautiful Epub. The way people access things to read on the internet is a very fragmented space right now, and translated content especially so. There’s no one “right” way to do it.
We are all just digital scavengers trying to piece together our reading experiences from a myriad of sources. Sometimes half of a discussion about a story is about accessing the story. It is a very unique problem for our time. Maybe in ten years there will be a Netflix for all web novels and we can look back at this time as the wild west of web novels.

I’m here to read the comments. Mostly people post really interesting ways to find media that most people have never heard of, and those are more interesting than the media itself.

This was such a great series. It’s an audio drama so should be up on all standard podcast platforms. I listened to the whole series on Spotify with no issues. The creators studio is called Static Echo (or similar) so you can try search for that too. Each episode is very short, about 20 minutes, so lots of them to binge through. The voice acting is all excellent but the lead actress in particular does a great job of conveying her characters’ panic through her breathing alone. Yes it’s a ‘hot car’ story but it’s not really about a car left in a hot park at all – more about the psychological feelings of claustrophobia. I wouldn’t recommend listening to this whilst driving on a hot day in your car – it’s a really immersive story and would be much better listened to on your headphones in a dark room!

As for ‘Rejected the Alpha Queen’… I seem to recall a similar story by an author who publishes their work serialized on Dreame or GoodNovel (those are two apps that specialize in paranormal romance novels). You might want to check if the author has published anything else on Dreame or GoodNovel, or even look up their Patreon (a search for ‘Patreon + [author name]’ should lead you to any early drafts they’re sharing). I recall Royal Road’s forums mentioning a few werewolf plot recommendations, although most of those would likely be LitRPG.
