Criticisms
Critics have maintained that his books have a tendency, when utilizing male protagonists, to come across as misogynistic and trite. Kultgen claims to frequently, "get messages from people who didn't enjoy the books. They tend to be a bit irate and usually take the time to tell me that I'm the worst living writer, the world would be a better place without me, I have no understanding of women or all of my books should be burned."[4] The New York Times published a piece on his work in 2011, based on interviews with him, and including people who claimed that his works were based on their personas.[5] Penthouse has called his work, "appalling," while Maxim has labelled it, "pure filth."[6] Journalists frequently make reference to purported over-sexualization and sexual obsession of many of his protagonists, especially in the form of male leads objectifying female characters.[citation needed]
