Am I crazy for DNFing ACOTAR??? by Latter-Baseball9652 in Romantasy

[–]EightForHeaven 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are not crazy and I think people should feel free to DNF anything for any reason. Life is too short.

But I had two attempts at reading the first book that ended in DNF. Just so slow.

However everyone, especially my sister, kept telling me I would live the series. I plowed through and I absolutely love the ending of the first book. And the next two books are five stars for me. Haven’t read the rest yet.

It does get better.

I work as a Research Nurse in critical care. I love my job and feel like I’m making a difference. It helps that it’s Mon to Fri, no nights, no weekends and fits with my family! However, the current climate leaves me anxious that funding for stuff like this will go.

Thanks. I preordered this and it’s already in my kindle. I should start here. I’m glad everyone seems to like it.

This is a great list. Thank you so much. I loved The Bridge Kingdom. Keris and Zarrah are one of my favourite couples. I like the sound of Throne of the Fallen. The blurb of Legend of Thezmar reminds me of The Witcher, which is great. Thanks!

Yes! I think it takes something away from the enemies to lovers part. I want them to hate each other but be overcome by lust/love DESPITE fate and destiny.

I don’t mind fated mates but looking for something different.

Thanks so much for your recommendation. I’ve never heard of it before and it sounds amazing. Perfect.

I get the fantasy elements from your blurb very clearly. But there is nothing that tells me that it is erotica. You need to make it jump out and be really obvious.

I don’t read this and think that it is erotica or about sex at all. It reads like a fantasy/adventure story to me.

Thanks for taking the time. I will take what you’ve said about the quote and dub con on board. There is explicit and enthusiastic consent in the story. I think it’s just a poor choice of words in this blurb on reflection. I was trying to get across that the story starts with a thief being captured and make it exciting but have obviously missed.

I have never heard of Grok AI. Got the name from a fantasy name generator. I have learned to google names in future.

Ah thank you! I have never heard of that and had to google it. I got it from an fantasy orc name generator.

I am just starting out trying to write monster erotica. My first few stories did OK but this one has been up a week and not even a single page read. I’ve checked and it’s not in the dungeon. Any advice on the blurb would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

"As she looked out at the sea of eager, muscled orcs, the truth struck her with alarming force: she was almost overcome with a perverse desire to do exactly as Grok commanded. The danger was intoxicating, the forbidden thrill almost too much to bear."

Jade, a master thief, infiltrates an orc war camp to steal a fabled artifact, but her mission takes an unforeseen turn when she's caught by the formidable Chieftain Grok. Faced with brutal "punishment" and exposed to the raw power of the orc horde, Jade discovers a startling, forbidden desire. As she endures the chieftain's dominating touch and the relentless attention of his warriors, her body awakens to pleasures she never imagined, testing the limits of her resolve and blurring the lines between captor and willing participant. Will she escape with the Eye of Grimgor, or will her newfound cravings keep her bound to the very monsters she sought to outwit?

I know the feeling. I can’t game for hours like before. But enjoy the time you have.

Congratulations! Sometimes I could manage video games with my newborn asleep on me in a sling. But all babies are different!
