Cheat(er) Code

Rise and shine, people of the internet. I have a recommendation you will thank me for! There is only one thing that is better than a graphic novel full of humor, sex, fantasy, and gorgeous art, and that is a graphic novel full of humor, sex, fantasy, and gorgeous art and the best diversity I could have found! I'm talking about Cheat(er) Code, written by S.A. Foxe and art by Daz.

An erotic graphic novel that pushes all the right buttons, Cheat(er) Code is a hilarious, sexy, and surprisingly tender story about navigating heartbreak and rediscovering your own confidence.

Kennedy and his boyfriend Seth have been together six years, and honestly, it's pretty comfortable. That is, until the couple gets into a huge, potentially relationship-changing fight. Kennedy turns to his trusty video games to distract himself, but when a random power surge hits, he's transported inside his video game library. Dazed and incredulous about his digital predicament, Ken finds himself seduced by a silver daddy, rutting with a couple of barbarians from an epic fantasy, and sorting through a lot of confusing feelings about his favorite anthropomorphic cheetah character. Kennedy will need to confront his biggest fears to get back to reality before the game glitches him out of existence, but sometimes, the unexpected (and unexpectedly sexy) is just what you need to hit the reset button.

I've been going through so much stuff as of lately that when I found this book in the Queer Liberation Library I had to get it. It was worth all the wait and then some because it's the type of story that we need, that we want, and that we love. Let me make this clear: there is sex, lots and lots and lots, but the social commentary about gay culture is just as huge.

From a chubby, heartbroken guy to a swinger couple that couldn't care less about stereotypes, adding a gorgeous art and a solid script that gives you more character development that you could ever dream of, this is a mandatory reading for every queer person in sight. Yes, I'm looking at you. You better be getting your QLL membership right now.

Now that we have established that this is juicy fantasy porn, I want to get serious for a second. This is not a story that touches social aspects of culture, but explores them in a savage way that surprises you, and it does it quickly but naturally. Come on, it's the definition of a solid script with amazing character development and growth.

With different forms of body shaming, playing with stereotypes, diversity in bodies and relationships, along with a solid, wholesome friendship (and no, not with benefits), there's nothing to complain about. Cheat(er) Code is the book we need for times like these, a wholesome, yet wildly queer story that heals those who read it. And that might help you relieve some stress, too.

Kinky regards, K!
