LICD strikes me as lame wishful thinking from the author.
It mostly consists of a character telling us how attractive he is to women and how much sex he has, even though we see almost nothing to actually indicate that any woman would find this loser attractive.
The author really wants to write about character who is a love machine, but since he has no idea what such a person is like, he is unable to write it and we have to just take his word for it.
SICD on the other hand...that is a work of freaking genius!
The guy who writes that deserves some sort of medal of awesomeness.
I base my life on Fable Boners teachings.
You havn't read much of LICD, because there are often pillow-talk scenes. In which Rayne is in bed, with the woman he just slept with.
And it's not 100% about how epic Rayne may or may not be. There are several political comments made. Such as when Rayne, previously homophobic, befriends his gay doctor and defends him when he is insulted by a homophoic woman.
Then there's the time we find out that he doesn't mistreat Urchin the street orphan- he provides the kid with food, clothes, a home, and maes sure the kid goes to school, because the kid is deathly afraid of the foster system.(the comment here was that the Foster System is broken, and it is)
