The Titan's Bride Vol. 1 by ITKZ
1.5
This was recommended to me a LONG time ago, so I thought I'd finally try it. Since it's hard to get the full volumes unless you go to Amazon or buy the paperbacks, I thought I'd start with the chapter volumes available on Kobo. It's a smaller financial and time investment, but a couple of them should give me an indication of whether I want to read more or not.

Chapter 1 : 2*
Sadly, this wasn't at all what I was expecting.
Kouichi is tall, popular and (according to rumour) hung! He's in a basketball team and everything is going great, until he gets home and starts fantasising about a girl who was flirty with him. Right in the middle of *ahem* entertaining himself *ahem* he's transported to another world to become the 'wife' of the first Prince of Tildant, a land of Titans.
This was non-con all the way. For <30 pages, it had ZERO plot or even an attempt at a storyline other than "want wife, must have" and "Where TF am I?"
I'll read Chapters 2 and 3 to give it a fair shot at attempting a story, because they're so short, but I probably won't be investing a lot of time or money into this series.
If you want an isekai book that does great story, world-building, chemistry and spice then try The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter, by Yatsuki Wakatsu. And if you want a fantasy isekai with no modern age characters, then try A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation, by Misaki, Sando and Momochi. It's got no spice, is 10 volumes so far, and has incredible story, world-building and chemistry, with an aside of great adventures that any D&D enthusiast will love.
Chapter 2 : 3*
The non-con from Volume 1 is actually stopped BEFORE "it" happens. Kouichi complains and says no. For once in a yaoi, Caius actually listens and STOPS! He asks Kouichi to give him 1 month to convince Kouichi to be his 'wife', or he'll send him back to his own world.
This was a nice change, though there was still zero storyline.
Chapter 3 : 3*
Caius' ex-fiancee shows up and they're suddenly happy together! :/ Kouichi tries to be chivalrous though he's jealous and becoming attached to Caius. Which, obviously, only makes Caius fall head over heels for him.
Chapter 3: 3*
There's a bit more plot creeping in, but it's just so slow. Everything is about Caius trying to get Kouichi to have sex - which has happened (with consent!) by now - with no real bond or chemistry between them. I'm stopping here, having given it enough time to lead somewhere. I can see why there needs to be 50+ chapters/episodes, but I won't be continuing.
