this also leads to something japanese is absurdly good at which is shortcutting/abbreviating their own language so you get the abbreviated titles as well that tend to flow easily off the longass title

Lesbian Manowar
i worked in e-book porn a couple years and yeah it's absolutely a self publishing fistfight thing

Lesbian Manowar
if your title wasn't both seductive and a giveaway as to the kink it was time to go home

Lesbian Manowar
ultimately japanese at high levels can become a set of rapid fire verbs, verbs are the only required piece of info, the rest is something you can infer from the person speaking to you/circumstances/area/etc

lucineblue
right, japanese is very contextual, eh?

Lesbian Manowar
japanese is easily 99% context and tone

Lesbian Manowar

lucineblue

Lesbian Manowar

BERSERKER
