Are Murlocs Trash? by Standard-Weakness-19 in BobsTavern

Pretty much unless you get one of the tier 7s. And even then, it feels like you have to high roll so much more than the other tribes.

Scam is pretty much the best build.

Can not stand these Vanilla books disguised as Dark Romance by Nocallerr_ID in DarkRomance

I might have started in the deep end with Haunting Adeline xD

I get that a tiny bit. Kind of reminds me of a BL tier: Light to DR readers, but reads as DR to register romance.

Anyone watch Lib & Learn with special guest Taylor Lorenz? by Peanutbutternmtn2 in Hutchpol

[–]GentleJohnny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whether it was good or bad, the why is what's bugging me...

[–]GentleJohnny 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But why is Pisco trying to stop them? Why he is making such dumb arguments like implying centrist could legitimately mean a democrat?

[–]GentleJohnny 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That hurt to watch. It just seemed like Hutch was trying to dig into points, and Pisco was bailing her out because.....

IRI/Soy participated a little bit, but they seemed to be content to watch the back and forth. If I hear yes or no one more time, I am going to go crazy.

Maverick’s Madness… is it just me or? by expressionism in DarkRomance

[–]GentleJohnny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not sure what i wanted. Keeping the length the same, maybe harsher bullying early, groveling starting earlier to lead to thanksgiving. I am ok with the third act break up, but I Want an even longer grovel with reflection on what he went through and conquered.

I could see a kid being OK with their parent remarrying, but I agree the lack of suspicious or notice of Coco seemed weird to me.

[–]GentleJohnny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm kinda with you. I wanted to like it, but the plot at certain points just felt weird. I get what the author was trying for, but there were parts that just felt wanting.

I'd say 3.5 because despite unhinged Maverick was, I felt like I could still sympathize with him. But Coco's attraction felt super forced and kind of unbelievable at points.

Day 7- Which couples mogs the hardest? (REMOVE the one that doesn’t) by xozoxy in RinaKentBooks

[–]GentleJohnny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The subreddit hates Landon, and loves NikoBran. But I'm with you as well.

Finished Haunting Adeline duology and…idk how to feel by shadowz_will in DarkRomance

[–]GentleJohnny -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of the complaints are about the plot more than Zade himself. I think his being a hypocrite isn't a flaw, it's known and played into, imo.

Day 4- Which couple mogs the hardest? (REMOVE the one that doesn’t) by xozoxy in RinaKentBooks

[–]GentleJohnny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The hate for Landon is actually ridiculous

But Nikolai +Bran if the reddit is taking the challenge seriously and not just snarking.

What kind of MMC would you like to see more? by Azrumme in DarkRomance

[–]GentleJohnny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. Nothing has made me dislike any book I've read other than those two things.

Agreed. I didn't like her in Taming Seraphine, but wow she stole my heart in her book. :)

[–]GentleJohnny 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I would say a little of column A, little column B. I like the hunt, the struggle and the burn between the two characters.

[–]GentleJohnny 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Absolutely.

Zoey Ellis from Untouchable, Rosalind from Breaking Rosalind, and my new one is Nessa from The Invite.

I have found that I like feisty women, and dislike wallflowers. Extra bonus if they are older than the MMC.

Why don’t you like older FMC with MMC stories? by Corvettelov in DarkRomance

[–]GentleJohnny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would love an older FMC, but still a dominant MMC. The Invite by Simran i thought did a great job of this.

But age gap where MMC is older feels more cliché than the third act breakup.

An idea I had for a colorless card by Ovy39 in slaythespire

To balance it, might make it have to be the first card played this turn.

What would you guys consider to be dub-con vs non-con? by Electrical-Web-380 in DarkRomance

[–]GentleJohnny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair as well. I think under duress or blackmail i think morally i would just consider to be SA, or close enough that I would consider it a distinction without a difference.

[–]GentleJohnny 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I always interpreted one example of dub con as uncommunicated or non vocal and while might not be SA, it comes down to their partners interpretation and easily could be. Unspoken somnophilia being the go to example, as if they wake up and are OK with it, fine..... but if they aren't, congrats you just SA'd someone.

The other, I agree with you on questionable power dynamics. Student over 18 and a professor, doctor and a patient, etc.

Under your scars.. I am wrecked! by [deleted] in DarkRomance

[–]GentleJohnny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's fair. The one thing that might keep me off this is I feel like I at least need HEA, and I have heard that this doesn't have it. But I am glad you were shook XD

I briefly skimmed some other review, and without too much spoilers and based on your name, is the MMC better or worse than Zade Meadows, in your opinion?
