All corporate fiction sucks. None of it is good.

I know this is an old thing to quote but that's basically the plot of Jane Yolen's Pitt Dragon books. ( The planet is called AustarIV) I read those at like age 7 or 8 and barely remember a bunch of cringey stuff that maybe others can verify or not.

Main character ( a boy) has an effeminate, fawning boy lusting for him the whole first book and it's weird. He also goes to try to save a (underage?) girl who specifically stated to be a prostitute. The girl is also his slavemaster's daughter and he basically says he can bone her if he saves her? People crawling into dragon vaginas to do like a rebirth thing to gain psychic powers? uh, lots and lots of weird stuff.

I'm pretty sure I read that series around the same age as you did, and I don't remember anything about it other than one of the kids' dragons dies.

 Agreed, asimov's work in general hasn't really aged well.

 Imagine being that teenager that ran away from home in order to go live with Piers Anthony. That has got to be the most embarrassing poo poo
