It really wasn't one solid thing that made me not enjoy this, just like a collection of little things that just didn't meet up with what I was expecting and made it a bit disappointing.

I didn't like Jafar all that much, he was just a little too in the middle of good guy/bad guy and felt kinda passive. I mean yeah he's being a dom and stuff, talks a big game but both times Ali shows up he's not there, and he doesn't really have any development, he wanted to bang Jasmine in the beginning and he's banging her in the end, that's about all that changes for him.

The time period felt weird to me since I was expecting it to be set in Agrabah, then suddenly there's zippers and computers... I get why it's brought into a modern age, but at that point it might as well be any contemporary erotica with Sarah and Will as the protags, you know? I thought it was going to be following a bit more with the Aladdin narrative, like: Ali shows up, Jasmine's into him, they start courting, then Jafar gets jealous, realizes he's into her, she realizes she's into him, yada yada, that kinda stuff.

Her calling him Daddy, and him calling her Baby girl, it felt off. Like I get it's part of their kink but it still didn't feel natural to me.

Whatever, if I keep going it's just gonna be more nitpicky and honestly, most people will probably enjoy this just fine. I'll try the next one at some point, now that I got the feel of the world, hopefully it was just that this one wasn't for me.
