Choppy, awkward writing that's hard to follow and did not pique my interest at all. Didn't read very far, though since there are no chapters, I can't say how many I would have gotten through... yeah, that's obnoxious too. But maybe 25 pages in, I didn't really care about the story. Partly because of the awkward writing and partly because I found the premise (random man stumbles in to a village while they're celebrating May Day, crown him the May Day king, and in so doing, invites him to sleep with anyone in the village he wishes - primarily the May Day queen, who's apparently done this sort of thing many times before - for a certain length of time before they kill him in hopes of a good harvest) pretty disgusting.
