Savaged by Systemd: an Erotic Unix Encounter

I was strolling through the uselessd (systemd fork) forum and found a link to this little gem—erotic systemd-related fanfic [amazon.com]. Here are some Amazon review excerpts:

Left me moist, and unable to figure out how to get myself started again.

Boring romance novel. Some good humour but the sex situations sound like written by dufous. Five more words are required

A potential reader might expect decent erotica, given the title. Unfortunately, the quality of the smut in this book falls below even the lowest of low bars set by "My Immortal."

Assuming "argument array" means argv, not a vararg function, it's arguably anti-characteristic of systemd since Linux passes no arguments to the init binary executed during boot (hence why systemd parses the Linux command line).

This book has multiple technical inaccuracies. This is especially impressive because it is almost entirely devoid of technical content. This is, somehow, smut in dire need of a technical editor
