RTC, but I loved this story!!

Thank you taramisu 🥛🐂 for this!

This is a story from the perspective of a researcher alien who is breeding humans, one FMC and three viable MMCs. The MC finds “tenders” (humans) to become fascinating, realizing they can communicate and have autonomy and sapience. They have an affectionate dynamic with the FMC. Prime is the MMC that the MC tries their hardest for the FMC to breed with, and she does, reluctantly and unhappily, but Beast is a scarred MMC who loves the FMC and the FMC loves him. The FMC does have affection for Prime too.

And then there’s the third MMC who is the stereotyped version of men: abusive, animalistic, and grotesque.

Thank gods MC sees that and punishes accordingly.

I liked this novella and bought it! Great sci fi book! 

The only reason I didn’t give this five stars was that this was tagged as why choose. I thought Prime and Beastly would be with the FMC, but I guess not.

Still a good story though!
