I'm not sure specifically as I haven't read this particular novel. But generally, a 'barbaric proposal' in a novel could potentially revolve around a very extreme or unethical suggestion made by a character, perhaps related to power, survival, or revenge.
Since I haven't read this novel, I can't say for sure who the main characters are. But usually, in a novel with a controversial concept like a 'barbaric proposal', there would be a character who makes the proposal. There might also be a protagonist who opposes it, someone who represents the moral side of the story.
The main idea could be a complex web of power, passion, and moral choices. It might center around a controversial offer that leads characters into uncharted territories.
Similar novels like " The Age of the Wild Growing Behemoths " included " Global Magic Change: The Campus Belle Invades Me to Be Her Demon Tamer " by " I'm Really Not a Martian ", and " Knight: Unparalleled Comprehension, Invincible at the Beginning ". Author: A Horse Like a Dragon, Nightmare of America, author: A Dream Whispers Stardust.
In these novels, the 'barbaric' nature can manifest in the lawless areas of the Scottish landscape, where the characters have to fend for themselves. There are often descriptions of the untamed wilderness. The romance is deeply intertwined with the Scottish heritage. It could involve arranged marriages that turn into true love, or forbidden love affairs. The Scottish dialect and cultural references add to the authenticity and the sense of the 'barbaric scot' world, while the love story gives a soft and emotional touch to the otherwise rough setting.
I recommend you a novel called " I Have a Cauldron of Heaven and Earth ". The main character of this novel brought the precious cauldron to the Primitive World and was baptized by the Old Wu since he was young. I hope you like this novel!
Well, in a barbaric Scottish romance novel, the language used might be a bit more raw and earthy compared to other romances. The relationships might be more tempestuous. For example, the lovers could be from different social classes or warring clans. And the female characters often have to be strong - willed to deal with the barbaric nature of the male and the environment. They might not be the typical damsel in distress.
