Who says that barbarians are barbaric?
Meet the main protagonist, Rae, the beautiful and handsome new leader of his tribe after his father's death.
This is a very pleasant read. I've already read some chapters of this on another site and so far I'm loving it.
It's a slow burn but the scenes are not fillers. The characters are also well-developed.
I'll be posting a complete review after I read all the chapters.

This story is really fun! I'm not usually one for harems, but this feels like a harem done well. Nobody comes off like a jerk or a serial cheater, all the love interests are awarw of each other and have complicated relationships outside of the protagonist. And there's an interesting and tense plot going on that takes precedence over the romance subplots.
I finished the first book and am really looking forward to the next one! I would recommend this to anyone who likes court intrigue, dark family secrets, and a mystery!
