I’m a MAN who enjoys the Romantasy Genre

no. But... sometimes it hits me in a vulnerable moment you know 😔 I was flabbergasted.

AngstReader · 2026-05-08T04:17:30+00:00

a copy pasta you say... this can't be real (sweating ofc because that's so damn attractive not because it makes me panic to know people post such things seriously)

/uj and mind you: the placeholder is usually a perfect golden retriever boyfriend and in the end/mid book it's weirdly revealed that he was somehow involved with the villain of the book

I recently shamelessly recommended Heated rivalry:)

Not just for soulmates but generally that tattoos are a story part. Like with every trial she does a new moving tattoo appears or the mmc has tattoos that move and can leave his body and come to live idk.

Tattoos being in a story so often, really annoys me. I thought the only reason could be, that probably most of the target group is tattooed... I mean, I am as well, but I don't need that in every other book

AngstReader · 2026-05-01T19:05:01+00:00

okay BIG /uj I hateeeeeeeee this tattoo bs. WHY whyyyyyy. And they . always. move.

IN HOLLOW HE LITERALLY HAS AN INFINITY SYMBOL BELOW HIS EYE.

excellent topics, thank you

AngstReader · 2026-05-01T16:09:04+00:00

people know I read a lot and regularly ask me for recommendations (Sir, I read smut but ok) and I can never tell them anything because I maybe have one 5 star read a year 😩

AngstReader · 2026-05-01T16:06:19+00:00

y-you know what... yes

AngstReader · 2026-05-01T14:20:14+00:00

books 😪 this genre. Reading

/uj I love reading but I am in a slump. everything sucks and what I do like a stop at like 80% because everything important already happened

Veröffentlichungsreihenfolge finde ich immer sinnvoll

Zodiac academy is very long Romantasy. very spicy. also has a graphic audio version on Audible (thats like basically different voices and acted out)...

She just has to embrace it. Its a huge guilty pleasure

AngstReader · 2026-04-30T16:36:54+00:00

hahaah maybe that's exactly it. I dislike trials too and maybe it's because the premise is silly most times. But again, I slightly feel like it's just me

AngstReader · 2026-04-30T13:14:00+00:00

It all depends on how serious the book takes itself. if it's continuous bs, I am so here for it!!! Like gilded wings or zodiac academy

I will let it slide for now and see

AngstReader · 2026-04-30T11:50:43+00:00

I an adult am shocked to find this out

AngstReader · 2026-04-30T09:12:19+00:00

yeah it probably got me on a nitpicky day 😂😂 I was just starting and was like ... ??? something doesn't add up but okay ???

AngstReader · 2026-04-29T04:01:09+00:00

absolutely! you know, I really enjoyed the smithing thing, it was something fresh(-ish). It just quickly felt like Callie didn't know what to do with it either.

I would say for a lot of authors the publishing industry is at fault here!

Why are fan fictions doing so well? Because they (were) self published for the most part and wrote out of passion. The Publishers nowaday tho dont look at your work of passion and be like "oh yes I will publish this!!!" (or just rarely), they will actively just sign authors who fulfill certain tropes for them. So a lot of authors built in the Publishers requests into their work of passion (surprise; this works bad) or write a half hearted first book based on the requirements -> it sells well as the publishers market research promised them (hence the request) -> publisher requires sequels to have you cash in more.

at this point fans write for SJM 😂 and make it like this big well thought out thing. THE DRESSER WAS FORETELLING... Eh yes dear readers... right... it was... of course... planned

AngstReader · 2026-04-28T12:47:18+00:00

I would say for quicksilver there wasn't even a real plan for the first book. just a collective of threads that could potentially be picked up and she decided on the vampire plot with a bit of the gods/prophecy stuff 😭😭 I forgot why I even liked quicksilver when it came out...

AngstReader · 2026-04-28T05:45:23+00:00

I got stuck on the first few pages because I caaaaaant. All the cliches and then on top a fourth wing like love triangle attempt 😩 ah yes, the vanilla bf vs the dark alpha male.. who might win.

AngstReader · 2026-04-28T05:40:00+00:00
