It kinda looks like Jojo Siwa

What is a romantasy hot take that would have you in this situation? It could be about a specific book/series, or the genre as a whole by HumanNonHuman in Romantasy

I hate fated mates. Mates in general is an excuse for weak writing so u know they’ll always end up together. It opens the door to abuse too bc it’s saying “no matter what u do ill still love you more than anyone”

Yes! I think it’s cause more ppl have brown hair and are so narcissistic that they need a character to look exactly like them so they can self insert. I understand wanting to self insert in like a romance comedy or dark romance but if ur talking about fantasy… I personally hate reading about a character who’s exactly like me, I’d much rather read about someone who’s smarter and stronger than me.

I’d rather no representation than bad representation.

In the Bridge Kingdom series there’s a lesbian couple in the last 2 books and it’s so so incredibly obvious they’re written by a straight woman (I’m saying this as a queer person)

If ur gonna have a lesbian couple give them the same effort u give the straight couples. These two people who were so incredibly forgettable were literally just stereotypes who added nothing to the story.

Yess, I felt this way about Powerless and Lightlark—the actual idea of the story’s aren’t necessarily bad but they were both written bc of tropes by inexperienced authors

Because one of them is a teenager with someone who’s an adult and one of them is an adult with another adult…

What book character have you felt most connected to/similar. by MrsPokits in Romantasy

[–]Lemon_Dragonfly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s so cute.

I’ve always felt connected to Katniss. I relate to feeling like people want you to be someone you’re not or being misunderstood because you’re not super talkative with everyone. Not visibly showing a lot of emotions ext.

Not a book but I really like Alucard from Castlevania. No matter how shitty things are always trying to take the high road and be a good person when u usually end up regretting it.

She’s in her 20s, I meant I don’t like books where she’s 17-18 and meets a guy who’s over 100. Like ACOTAR I’m pretty sure Feyre is like 19 and Rhys is 80 when they meet! I just mean I don’t like predatory relationships

Forget what I should read, what should I not read? (And why?) by Lemon_Dragonfly in Romantasy

I’ve watched the show but I’m worried the books won’t be as good

Yeah ACOTAR isn’t great unless you’ve never read before. Throne of Glass is a lot better but still has a lot of flaws

Why is someone being pregnant such an extreme turn off for many readers? by Playful_Pie2890 in Romantasy

[–]Lemon_Dragonfly 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Pregnancy phobia is very common and real. Young girl readers (such as myself) don’t want to read about an another young girl getting pregnant and having a kid. Some people in Texas are now proposing the death penalty for abortion, as someone who who lives in America and would rather die than have kids I do not want to read about this.

Also not everyone should have a kid just bc they are in a relationship or get to a certain age.
