Description

Quentin is a deeply depressed man, a hermit and anonymous celebrity who kills people to the sound of applause. Razia is a fast woman, perpetually on the run from the consequences of her actions. When a chance meeting brings the two of them together, life in Orchrisus becomes more bearable with someone to watch their backs. She gains a fierce protector and a reason to not burn bridges, he gains a companion and a reason to keep fighting. Soon, Quentin is dragged deep into an unfamiliar world of criminals, prostitutes, and weirdest of all: a social life. Come for the spicy alternative to litRPG and Isekai stories, stay for the sex, violence, and high octane brooding. Off Hiatus! Volume 4 is now up. The violent and sexy slice of life is back, baybee **************************************************************************** The Accidental Pimp is a character driven fantasy dramedy focusing on the lives of a gladiator and a prostitute. It's faster paced than slice of life but a bit slower than traditional serials. It features a slow burn romance, graphic violence, LGBT characters, some sexual situations, healthy polyamory but NOT a harem, and a dumb title I can't find a replacement for.

First things first, don't judge this book by its title. The title is a bit lackluster in comparison to the captivating writing the author has. The pace is very well set, drops you right into the story, and keeps it going from there. This is also very well-written with clear and distinct voice. The MC is well fleshed out and his interactions with all the other characters are unique but make sense for his nature. His female counterpart is a good contrast while remaining her own character. Overall the environment of the story builds itself as you continue on which is my personal preference for a story--perfect case of show don't tell. Would definitely recommend this story and will likely continue reading as well.

I really like this story. I was drawn in on a fluke by the cheesy title and kept on reading for the crapsack world an character development.
story:
Its about an albino gladiator that has the job of executing criminals. Executing means sometimes just that, sometimes a fight to the death he had always won so far. But he is really depressed and only happy very shortly when fighting and any other time feeling guilty. He meets a lustrous and funky whore by chance and their fates become intertwined.
The world is a crapsack world with cutthroat mafia bosses everywhere and bad entitlted nobles, just how you would imagine it back than basically. There has been no signs of industrialisation so far but there seems to be some weak personal magic that hasnt had a big impact on the story so far. Its not grimdark though, there are a lot of decent people who try to be somewhat good.
Style and character: I like the style. The brooding of the main character and the cheerfull carlessness of the secondary main character can become a bit annoying at times but in the last recent chapters they both seem to get a bit more depth. Both of them have good reasons for being the way they are though, though the motivations of the secondary main charater (the whore) are not entirely clear yet. It often seems as if she isnt so sure herself and I think the author has a lot more in common with the male protagonist than the female and might need to do a little research on why sex workers do sex work back then and now and how they came to their job and what kind of humans they think exist most in the world or just do a little less self insert so the two main charactes feel like the same kind of depth.
The side characters seem mostly fine, I sometimes get the feeling that the author wanted to put more in there but stopped because it would have interfered with his planned storyline. For example there is one character that really seems like he would be a gay concubine and it would totaly make sense for hi

Terrible title, but great story. The author put together an amazing world filled with characters you will love and care for. The world feels live-in and Roman-like society is something you don't see often, but it fits perfectly with the story. Take a chance. Read it. You will not regret it.

Reminds me of oldschool middle ages fantasy novels. No system, no gods, little bit of magic. Well writen and readable, some readers might dislike setting becouse it lacks modern elements. its gritty novel where pride and honor dictates actions of man. Refrshing and different MC , he is flawed man clinging to last of his humanity. No overpowerd murderhobos, White Knights on shining steads or Mary sues were spotted in this novel
4.3/5.0 rating giving it 5 bc algo

SYNOPSIS: The Accidental Pimp is a silly title that sounds like it belongs on a lighthearted lowbrow comedy. The story itself is one of the most epic rollercoaster rides I've ever had the pleasure of reading. It's the story of a lonely, cursed man, a moonkissed killer, and the fiery, vibrant, and broken woman who seeks to break him out of his shell. It's brutal and beautiful and hopeful and tragic and funny and violent and loving and it will absolutely blow your freaking mind. If there's one thing this story is not, it's silly.
STYLE: This author's got it all. Vivid descriptions, sharp dialogue, visceral fights. The prose is smooth and the pacing is on point. It's easy to read, easy to follow, and the balance between description, dialgogue, and action is tight and well tended.
STORY: The story structure is a masterwork. Each action and event leads into the next, often having far reaching consequences that are still felt ten chapters down the line. There are twists and turns enough to keep you in suspense, but everything that happens makes sense, and the danger to the characters is very real. Each chapter contains it's own story, but the stories weave together, throwing in bits of foreshadowing that lead to a massive payoff ten or even twenty chapters later.
CHARACTERS: The characters are deep, conflicted, and flawed. They feel real and immersive, getting to me in a way few books or shows manage, and making me care about them to an almost uncomfortable degree. Even the villains. Even when I knew they deserved to die.
GRAMMAR: Flawless. No mistakes.
OVERALL: If you've read this far, you already know this isn't even really a review. It's a love letter. The Accidental Pimp is one of the best stories on Royal Road. Maybe one of the best stories on the internet itself. Go read it.

I'm really enjoying this story that's both character driven and filled with enough action violence to keep it exciting. It's a look at unlikely friendship and loneliness in urban settings as we follow the main guy's journey finding meaning in a dark and uncaring world. There are also prostitutes.
I'm still reading so I need to update this later

Dude!
Thats it, that's my review.
I mean, they still want fifty words or more, so I gotta prattle on, but if you are reading my drivel, you could be reading this story instead and actually getting something of value. Still no fifty words. I guess I could wax poetic about how this world seems to be familiar, while seeming new and exciting. Or how the action jumps off and brings my feels along for the ride.
Legit, this should be in publication.
Update, I all but caught up now and my prior review, it holds up. I can't write anthing about this that you won't look back on and say, "that dude barely got it".
We have a female lead the is unconventionaly strong, sweet and vulnerable. Maybe a little self destructive
Male lead, he is uniqie, and has quiet depths. I like the way things unfold around him while he remains in control of himself. a nice duality of passivity and agency at once.
we have a cast of others that stroll on and off, becoming more familiar and important with each appearance.
I am not goint to tell you about them because if you rea reading this ou are still not reading THAT! go read that over there!
Just stop reading my stupid plaver and get on to the good stuff. You know you want it.
Go on.
It's right there.

I love this story and want more people to discover it, So i finally got around to writing this review. I'm truly disappointed that it never caught on but happy to say that I'm one of the first to find this hopefully soon to be not so hidden gem. Here is why you should give it a shot:
The story is set in a fictitious version of a Greco-Roman controlled Egypt in a city called Orchrisus. It follows the life of Quentin an Albino man, moonkissed, they call him that is shunned by society, only being able to find work as the city's executioner in the colosseum. One day he happens to run into Razia a charismatic, Yet troublesome lady, she is working as an escort, to pay the bills, while practising her beliefs, and maybe she can have a little fun while she is at it.
You see Razia believes in Dolas, the Pierced Heart the god/ess of love and pain, art and suffering and wants to become a priestess of his/her church that is why she came to Orchrisus. True believers in Dolas (at least according to the church of the Pierced Heart) believe it's their duty to help alleviate people's suffering and create happiness in the world.
When Razia applied to become a priestess, she was denied because “she was too prideful”, in actuality it's because she disagrees with the church doctrine believing that because part of the personification of Dolas is (free) love that a prest/ess duties should also extend to the sexual needs of their parishioner.
She believes in and practices these beliefs and tries to elevate/rehabilitate a person's state of mind through emotionally/physically connecting to them. She finds out about their troubles in life and helps them work through them emotionally and if it also sexually helps them that way too. Whether the person is a senator or a disfigured man living in the slums she would do her best to try and let them vent their baggage on her for a while and achieve at least some momentary peace of mind.
This is how she got interested in Quentin; she saw someone she

One of the best stories on RR imho.
It's not Inception or The Green Mile but a decent block buster.
Great character depth, a lot of grey instead of black & white, great suspense but also a few relaxing chapters.
Razia and Quentin went out for dinner and dancing. There were no survivors.
