📖 Why Readers Are Searching for a Cleaner Fourth Wing

While Fourth Wing isn’t classified as Young Adult (it’s New Adult), many readers expected a slightly tamer story based on the fantasy setting.Instead, they got:

• Multiple open-door, explicit sex scenes

• Frequent strong language (yes, lots of f-bombs)

• Intense, bloody battle sequences

For teens, parents, teachers, or even adult readers who prefer less explicit content, it’s a challenge:How do you enjoy the story without the parts you’d rather skip?

🚩 The Problems With Skipping Manually

• You miss critical plot points. Important character developments sometimes happen during or around spicy scenes.

• It’s exhausting. Fast-forwarding or trying to guess when a scene is "safe" breaks the reading flow.

• Audiobooks are even harder. Trying to skip during audio playback is clunky and distracting.

There had to be a better way… and now there is.
