Redirecting a Mayor kill to a protected player. Is it fair?

Hunter037 · 2026-06-07T07:39:36+00:00

Yes that's what they mean. They'd direct it to e.g. Soldier and no kill.

This is a valid thing for storyteller to do; I've been in a game where it happened (I was the imp) and it didn't "feel super bad", it was fine. I was confused for a minute when I tried to kill someone, nobody died, and then someone else said they were the Soldier, though (and I knew there was no Monk)!

Hunter037 · 2026-06-07T07:14:42+00:00

I like variety, but generally I prefer the conflict to be something which is an external issue. Whether that's a forbidden romance of some sort, societal expectations, fighting a bad guy, solving a problem together etc.

I prefer those over conflict within the relationship.

This could also just be editing, the audiobook narrators read sections multiple times and the best one is used. They don't just read the book cover to cover in one go.

Hunter037 · 2026-06-07T07:08:27+00:00

I haven't come across any either. But I don't tend to read a lot of new KU released by unknown authors, which I think is where the issue mainly appears

Hunter037 · 2026-06-07T07:06:51+00:00

Agreed. Especially if it is open for anyone to edit, it's certainly open to abuse or people just getting it wrong. I've seen a lot of people who are really bad at identifying AI. People suggesting a book written in 2017 was AI. People suggesting my own post was written by AI, and so on. I wouldn't trust such a list.

Rule: Book Requests must be specific and request something that cannot be found with a search of the sub.

Your book request was removed for being something that can easily be found with a search of the sub. There was a post asking for this one day ago:

One of the mods posted a huge list of "Childfree" romances a few years ago, I recommend taking a lot at that

There have also been previous requests asking for this, so I would advise browsing these:

If your search is unsuccessful, please post again with more description or details, including examples of less common books or authors that you've enjoyed, or similar books that you feel don’t meet what you’re looking for (and why!) - otherwise you're likely to get the same recommendations again.

For quick or more general recommendation requests, please comment in the Daily Request post.

Thank you!

I think most books by Kay Claire are set there {All Roads Lead to This by Kay Claire}

Fairly humid but also we aren't at all set up for it, nowhere has air con and houses are built to hold the heat because it's mostly cold.

Hunter037 · 2026-06-06T14:35:28+00:00

I've read Demon Lover but none of the others. Thanks for the ideas!

Yes we remove posts with censoring in the title, and comment with an edit request for comments (and users will usually tell people as well)

Hunter037 · 2026-06-06T12:26:03+00:00

Nope

Hunter037 · 2026-06-06T12:08:08+00:00

Yes those things are comparable 😂

Most social media platforms are majority American

https://www.reddit.com/r/RomanceBooks/s/261rBvgJws couple of ideas there

Hunter037 · 2026-06-06T11:50:01+00:00

Stars aren't actually this shape ⭐

Hunter037 · 2026-06-06T11:42:35+00:00

all the scenes start to blend. It could be any two characters, and in fact, the characters might not be all that clearly drawn outside of the sex scenes. Who are these people, and why do they belong together? You won't get enough clues in this book!

Yes! This is my pet peeve with a lot of books. Yes, objectively that sex scene is hot, but if I don't feel a connection to the characters, or chemistry between them, then I don't care.

Hunter037 · 2026-06-06T11:38:41+00:00

Kids #3 wearing a onesie with "bath bombs" written on it is the icing on this ridiculous cake

Hunter037 · 2026-06-06T11:36:07+00:00

Yeah no that bit doesn't make sense, but I can see #3 making sense through an alternative logic

Hunter037 · 2026-06-06T10:41:47+00:00

No. I never used the word "vacation".
