Just read my first Snek Guy book, Heart of The Mountain

After reading the WYLAMG series and The Last of Her Kind by Annabelle Hawthorne I was looking to read another non-human FMC story. Recently I remarked that seems like every other week there is a /r/WritingPrompts thread where a knight fails his mission to slay the dragon in the most spectacular way possible usuall with the knight falling in love with the dragon 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Someone on our discord pointed out that Heart of The Mountain by Snek Guy has this exact plot.

I gave it a read, and it lives up to its premise. Heart of the Mountain is the story of Iden, a cynical mercenary who looks to retire from his deadly job before he dies by slaying a dragon and claiming its horde of wealth (Insert dragon FIRE joke here). I enjoyed the unfolding relationship. Of the course of three long smut chapters the Iden lays the dragon, and with each encounter the dragon shifter Isabelle stays in progressively more draconic forms. My main complaint is that the three chapter length sex scenes make up 30% of the book (I went back and counted). While I find it impressive that Snek Guy is able to maintain dramatic tension and develop a relationship through that much smut, that is still too much smut for me. I would categorize this book as erotic romance. I ended up skipping the last smut chapter. After reading this, I switched to a chaste non-romance book as a palate cleanser.

I’m wondering, does Snek Guys other books have this much smut? I enjoy is writing, but I’m not sure I’m ready for that much smut again.
