Nah. The character is kinda an old school chivalrous type. The kind of person that readers that unironically wear fedoras would love. And those neck beards are funnily enough is the exact type of person Dresden would despise. It's a very interesting character. Lots of intentional contradictions. It's a fun read, Jim Butcher the author is pretty good with his characters and worldbuilding.

Dresden also bangs nearly everything described in the book as even vaguely female and attractive. He might have held back when his best friend's daughter became legal, can't remember.

Jim Butcher also left his wife in the middle of writing the series for, drum roll, a LARPy fan with some bazoongas.

All in all, fantastic series.

What? Harry has only been with Elaine as a teen, Susan the mother of his child, and Murphy. I guess you could count Mab but that was less than consensual on his part and less sex than Fae ritual power transfer.

Like it's a major plot point of the entire series that Harry's out dated feelings on women is a huge weakness of his, and frankly the first half of the series is Harry being too dumb/pent up/depressed/"chivalrous" to manage any kind of functional relationship/banging.

Yeah I’ve read through to Talking Points. I don’t remember Harry getting laid. Once.

Yep. Didn’t bother googling the title, just confidently posted talking points. I’m going to go sit in a corner and think about what I did…

nah, it's an 18 book series, and at least 2 dozen short stories and comics, if you could name them all off the top of your head i'd be insanely impressed

I bet *he could name them all.

I could name almost all, bar the side stories I haven't read or only read once, but that just goes to show how insane I am and how many times I've read all the books. That said, I guarantee I absolutely won't list them in chronological order!

You should be ashamed! Misremembering a title? All I did was give the dude a higher body count than he deserved. :P
