Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Valley of Amazement


Plot Summary Part 2


Magic also promised to hire a homosexual actor to teach Violet different sex positions. This makes no sense. What would a homosexual know about having sex with a woman? If he were teaching Violet about ass sex, I could understand, but using a gay guy to teach about heterosexual sex makes no sense. What if he gives Violet some version of Chinese AIDS? Since the gay guy won't be aroused by Violet, we are told he'll masturbate before each session to make his p_nis hard, heh heh I can't stop laughing as I write this!


It gets even better. The gay guy will teach Violet how to suck on stalks of rice as if she were sucking dick.  Violet even will be given homework--she'll be ordered to fondle herself  with lotion and  a "pearl polisher" every night in bed for practice, heh heh heh sorry I can barely type because I am laughing so hard!!!!

Violet accepts being a whore. She also accepts being half Chinese. She's accepted being a half-Chinese whore.


Violet gets ready for her first whoring assignment. She meets a nice guy named Loyalty Fang. She wanted to prostitute out to him first. She was horrified at the idea of being forced to whore for another man for her first time, but not horrified at having sex at 15 years of age with Loyalty. Luckily Violet got her fondest wish--to lose her virginity at the age of 15 in a whorehouse to Loyalty Fang.


Violet took off her clothes and let Loyalty inspect her v_gina. He was happy that it was pink colored. This is odd because all v_ginas are pink--are Chinese v_ginas supposed to be orange or green or something?


Loyalty put his very loyal p_nis in Violet's v_gina. She screamed in pain as his most loyal p_nis penetrated her hymen. There was blood everywhere as if someone had just slaughtered a cow. Loyalty was very pleased by her scream and pain, it only delighted him more. He decides to rent Violet for a year of p_nis-v_gina dialog.


But they start to argue over time because Violet becomes jealous when Loyalty bones other whores.  Violet feels that Loyalty should be faithful to only one whore, himself, and is angry that Loyalty is treating her like a whore, which she is.


Loyalty gets so annoyed with her shit that he stopped boning her, and Violet was set free to start boning other men.


A few years later Violet apologized for being a bitch. Loyalty understood. He even started boning her periodically again, though again she quickly became jealous.


Violet whores herself for a white man named Edward. Edward falls in love with Violet. But Edward is really fucked up. He is haunted by the memory of the time when he was playing with someone else's doll by the river. Some guy tried to get the doll back but he tripped and fell into the river and died. Edward felt guilty because he was playing with the doll the guy wanted.


This is so ridiculous. The guy fell into the river on his own. Edward was just playing with a doll. But Edward acts like he put a shotgun to the guy's head and pulled the trigger, and moaned and whined about it constantly to Violet.


His pussy-ness turned Violet off, and she refused to see him again. Then a page later she changed her mind and agreed to marry him. It was a big sacrifice for Violet because she would have to give up whoring. Could Violet really be a one-p_nis woman?


Violet got pregnant with Edward's baby. Magic Gourd offered to shove some abortion herbs into her twat, but Violet said she wanted the baby. Magic G warns Violet that if she leaves the whoring profession she will be so poor that she will live in a shack and dogs will have sex with her. Ruff! Ruff!


Magic G says that Edward wants to marry her so he doesn't want to pay for the sex, heh heh.


Violet resolves to go with Edward. The only tiny problem is that Edward is married. Despite that, Violet and Edward live in a house owned by Lu Shing, who Violet learns is her real father, who is trying to help her. Magic G also moved in with them, knowing it is always helpful to keep an extra whore close at hand. Violet gives birth to a baby named Flora.


Edward gets Spanish Influenza, probably from an illegal alien. A Chinese doctor sticks needles into him to cure him, heh heh, but he dies anyway.


Violet learns from Edward's lawyer that Edward left all the money in trust for her daughter, Flora, to be managed by her mother.


But then Violet f's up and tells the lawyer that she is Edward's legal wife, the one he was still married to, so the name of Edward's legal wife gets put on the baby's birth certificate. This was very stupid to do and unnecessary--if Violet had told the truth she still would have been able to keep the baby, as it was her own child, as well as the money.


Then Edward's real wife Minerva appears, holds up the birth certificate, and says, "Guess what? This is my baby, bitch. Now hand it over." She takes Flora away.


This makes no sense to me. True, Flora was Edward's daughter but was not Minerva's daughter. Why would Minerva want to raise her husband's bastard child? It's totally unexplained.


But anyway Flora is stolen from Violet. Violet, as the birth mother, makes no attempt to retrieve her, and just returns to what she knows best: whoring. She calls up Loyalty and asks for his help getting a good whoring job. Loyalty promises to give her the best reference possible--his dick, heh heh.


Violet starts getting boned by Loyalty. Once again she gets upset when he bangs other whores, even while she herself is being banged by other men. The competition in the whoring market is fiercer now because some college students "give it away for free" and carry around contraception sponges in their panties, heh heh heh.


Violet meets a poet named Perpetual. He tells her a poem. When she repeats the poem to other men they think she is sexy and want to bone her.
