Hey everyone,
I’ve been on the lookout for a book that have a rather unique premise and I’m hoping someone here might have a recommendation. Some time ago, I read manga that had a interesting premise but didn’t quite deliver on the storytelling.
Here are the key plot points I’m hoping to find in a book:
* Humans are abducted (they are teenagers in the manga)
* The abductors breed them like cattle
* Ultimately, they’re killed and consumed by their captors
* Abductors allow favors from some captured humans to extend their “breed” process, such as calming others or preventing suicides
* Because of these favors some humans fight with each other and have a kind of hierarchy between them
* The abductors could be either humans or any other species (in manga they are elves if I remember correctly)
I’ve searched for this in this sub and others, but haven’t quite found a book that hits these specific plot points or at least have something similar. If anyone knows of a novel that at least comes close to this narrative, I’d greatly appreciate the recommendation. Thanks in advance!
I already read Tender is the Flesh, which have some similarities.
