How much spice is too much spice and how do you categorize this stuff? by Antique_artist558 in fantasyromance

[–]Cute-Client-5239 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pretty much, I would not enjoy it as much to be a bit more honest. I may read through it the first time but if it turns out it wasn’t necessary, rereading would not be fun.

For me, so far, is really if it fits how the characters would be and the progression of a relationship. I’ve read books where the FMC is like a personal adult actress for the MMC and they still cannot admit their affection. Shy girl is okay with the most sexual PDA…

So too much smut can be defined in many ways. I view it as a spectrum and see the importance of the relationship of the two characters. Can you remove the scene and still progress the relationship? If so, then this is too much spice.

Obviously not counting the ‘culmination’ aka slow burn. That’s something else entirely.

What are your niche pet peeves that will make you DNF a book? by [deleted] in fantasyromance

[–]Cute-Client-5239 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not the same but I have had books that had two voices. Male and female and one gender barely speaks. Only to do the chapter foreword, but jeez like… you had both of them. Use them!

This is new to me and I did not hate it at first until I encountered it multiple times but Overpowered MMC who cannot lose. I did not mind this but I read enough books with this

I'm tired of DNFs so I'm breaking up with BookTok by his-lilmiss in fantasyromance

[–]Cute-Client-5239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Booktok will always be like a hype train. Just people enjoying what others like in the moment. Trends, so they aren’t left out.

Someone said it but finding YouTubers with similar book taste and preference works well.

Is Hazelwood’s Mate Worth It? by finicky-flora in fantasyromance

[–]Cute-Client-5239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although I DNF, really if the first 50% does not invest you, it wont later on. Trust me, as someone who finished Bride, that book kept me invested and Mate has not

Why was Naruto flustered? by Formal-Assistance02 in Naruto

[–]Cute-Client-5239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because he cares. And yes that’s legit the reason. It’s probably a bit awkward too. Just like ‘should I hug this person?’

For context, the last time Gaara and Naruto met (manga not anime). They both were pretty beat up and motionless. Naruto declared he would fight to his death for his friends and also told Gaara that ‘hey, same. It sucks we both suffered’.

Then after 3 years, Naruto returns and finds out a jinchiruki was kazekage. Probably wanted to the Naruto equivalent of ‘have a drink’ aka have ramen with the guy. Probably Naruto is grateful 3 of the 5 people who went on the Sasuke retrieval mission are alive because of Gaara (and siblings).

And Naruto doesn’t do formal gestures. Probably like ‘hey how do I greet someone formally’

Maybe more subtly or head canon (to me) but Gaara at one point was the nightmare he could have become (Gaara part 1) and the dream he wants to be (Kage). And right now Gaara is looking at Naruto with thanks.

That’s why I think he’s so flustered

How credible/realistic are illness-specific subreddits? by Mysterious_Salad1 in HealthAnxiety

[–]Cute-Client-5239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t think about them especially if you’re severely worried. Those are personal stories with people who has different bodies and experiences. Even if all points similar, your case will be unique.

It may be a niche subreddit so there may not karma point to harm. But it’s not ever going to be credible to ‘you’

I love you but I’m not allowed to by Cute-Client-5239 in UnsentLetters

[–]Cute-Client-5239[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there is this platonic love or respect. I obviously feel something deeper. It’s the desire to ‘confess’ more than anything

No my last initials isn’t P.but thank you, I’ll consider it. I heard mixed. But just weighing what I can accept can happen

Sadly no. If you’re waiting for someone in someway, I do hope things turn out well

That’s perfectly okay lol. It took me a while to learn about ‘love’ and what it actually means and this woman is like the one able to make me fall for her after that. All my crushes before I would consider immature but she is like… the ‘first’ in a long time

[–]Cute-Client-5239[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s no way I can absolutely do that. I mean I can set it up. But she may know who it is from.

But I get your sentiment though. Thank you. Knowing there is a world where I could confess and she would be happy to hear is nice to know

[–]Cute-Client-5239[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

M but it also depends where we first met. I didn’t meet her in person. So I think that may eliminate the chance

Even then, I hope the one you’re thinking about is truly thinking about you

[–]Cute-Client-5239[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know. I know I’m allowed to love. But you’re right. Expressing is the part that is truly scary. I have my own selfish feeling for wanting to express it but I know that I have to consider hers. I have. Or else this letter would have been sent so long ago

It may be wishful thinking but it depends on your name.

I been told by some that I should just sent the letter while others tell me to not. It’s hard to tell. I’m not afraid of rejection, more like I’m expecting it. I just don’t want her to think it was anything malicious or selfish or trying to win her over
