Talk:Desire & Decorum, Book 1/@comment-24378197-20180916121948

From what I've seen so far, this book is extremely divisive. There are people who love it because of the immersion on how people act in the Regency Era and the fact that they're fans of Jane Austen (or Regency-Era romance novels). And then there are others who hate it for primarily focusing on romance, its similarity to TRR and, to a lesser extent, RCD, or because they dislike Regency-Era romance novels. I see good points from both sides, and people are entitled to their opinion as long as they don't twist facts to suit their preferences.

As for me, I'm on the fence. I won't deny that I enjoy it somewhat, especially the choices I can pick for my MC. At the same time, I also think there's a lot more this book can offer besides entering a relationship and the daily lives of upper-class people, such as technological advances (the Regency Era happens during the Industrial Revolution), political intrigue (both domestic and international), and even some mystery on Harry's death. So far, they've focued on racial and social issues, albeit just the surface.
