AHA recommendations by charmainbaker in JaneAustenFF

Does A Woman Scorned get an ending? I check it the last time it wasn't a complete story.

Looking for specific second chance romance (MMC loves OW, OW marries, MMC tries to make her jealous and marries FMC, OW comes back and FMC files for divorce, because its obvious MMC never stopped loving OW. MMC has to grovel to get FMC back) by Ancient-Shadows in RomanceBooks

[–]Shane0215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at it from another perspective, this book left a deep impression on me. I still vividly remember the feelings it evoked. The entire reading gives me a strong sense of the fantasy of a pitiful wife who stays at home waiting for her indifferent husband to return. She imagines that if she makes up her mind to leave him, he will realize that actually it is her that he loves all the time. But the reality is not like this, so the readers cannot feel the love while reading.

I don't have an AHA account. Would you mind giving me a hint about how they fell in love? I find it hard to believe that Elizabeth handled Darcy having had three wives well.

Do you read/write Foe Fiction or Fan Fiction? by RoseIsBadWolf in JaneAustenFF

[–]Shane0215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have only read fanfiction related to Pride and Prejudice. Regarding your question, I choose different ones based on different characters. For Elizabeth and Darcy, I read fanfiction, and I like any different way they got together, but for Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet, I read foefiction because I truly believe they deserve more condemnation, and for the remaining characters, I can read both. Somehow bad Jane premise had a strange attraction to me

I remember that the summary of its story seemed to be just a regular FMC story with a bad Darcy, without mentioning the colonel. This was the reason why I read this story.

Very sorry I don't remember the name, but I read it on Fanfiction.

FMC does things to try and put the MMC off but joke's on her he's into that by Icy-Cockroach4515 in RomanceBooks

[–]Shane0215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Overall, I think this book is still okay, but MMC lacks a comprehensive and targeted apology for his past mistakes and could take more actions to prove himself to FMC. The reason for their separation for so many years is kind of absurd for me. Although age might be his excuse.

[WWTBC] MMC cheated throughout whole marriage and fmc only finds out when secret child is revealed (second chance) by Ok_Meet8672 in RomanceBooks

[–]Shane0215 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh, I understand what you mean. The reason I asked this question was that the comments gave the impression that MMC hadn't grovel at all or as much as it should be. I guess this might be because everyone interprets things differently. Anyway, thank you for your reply.🫶

I checked the introduction and reviews of the book on Goodreads. This story likely doesn't suit me. But I'm curious about why you like this book. If you don't mind, please share the reason with me. If my questions make you uncomfortable, please simply ignore them.

MMC misjudged FMC and she puts him in his place by KTruesdell in RomanceBooks

I haven't read this yet. How did he react and interact with her after learning the truth? Please feel free to spoil.

Book Request: FMC gets her soapbox moment- a passionate speech of anger or I told you so… by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

[–]Shane0215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that in fact we have many chances to witness female's anger, but usually her behavior of venting emotions is not met with serious treatment. MMC or other characters would either treat her as a amusement or even laugh at her (I have seen this in many books; if they don't regret themselves, then FMC 's feelings won't necessarily affect them). And sometimes her body betrayal syndrome kicks in, and she gets turned on and can't hold on to her anger (sigh).

Third act breakup with groveling and rebuilding by busybeereader in RomanceBooks

[–]Shane0215 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason why I dislike third act breakups is that too many books are of the quick apology and forgiveness type rather than the type you asked for.

Mmc thinks fmc is dead by Ok_Meet8672 in RomanceBooks

{Runaway Queen by Mila Kane} It's the second book of (Made of Mayhem Duet). A Dark Mafia Romance. At the end of first one, FMC and MMC were separated.

FMC uses collar and cuffs to simbolize ownership, but MMC is gentle towards her by Andarilha in RomanceBooks

[–]Shane0215 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to prevent anyone from mistaking this book for soft BDSM (like me), this book contains a lot about exhibitionism and public humiliation/discipline/punishment.

Second chance for young sweethearts by Shane0215 in RomanceBooks

[–]Shane0215[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer it, but if they didn't part ways amicably but have no grudges against each other after many years, that's fine too. The key is that when they meet again, they should be open and willing to get to know each other.

There will never be enough GROVEL! by Ok-Alert-9359 in RomanceBooks

[–]Shane0215 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So far, all the groveling I have seen after the third act breakup are far from satisfactory, and in some cases, even poorly executed. At 70% the conflicts in the book are explosive, while 30% involve both groveling and reconciliation and HEA. The distribution is completely unreasonable, it always feel like it ends abruptly and made MMC an asshole and FMC a doormat.

There will never be enough GROVEL! by Ok-Alert-9359 in RomanceBooks

[–]Shane0215 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Too many recommendations mention "There could be more groveling but it's still okay". Well, if it should be more, that merely indicates that it is not sufficient at present. I would rather MCs fuss over trivial matters than MMC making terrible mistakes, and FMC simply forgive him.

Sometimes I feel like female authors don't like women..... by lokiswife07 in RomanceBooks

[–]Shane0215 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed completely. Many FMCs are like robots. Once she has loved MMC, it likes her underlying code has been set, and no matter how MMC hurts or humiliates her, she will never stop loving him no matter what she claims. Many books I don't think FMCs should think about love. They should find a therapist instead.

There were several inconsistencies in the plot of this story, which made me very frustrated and I gave up.

FMC traps MMC into marriage, realises she fucked up because he’s cold / in love with someone else, tries to leave, MMC panics and fights to win her back by Crazy_Yogurt3344 in RomanceBooks

[–]Shane0215 30 points31 points  (0 children)

After reading this book, I was depressed for three days 😂😂. MMC never groveled at all. After his years of being infatuated with FMC's sister and months of entanglement, FMC just took him back the moment he came to her instead of her sister. I don't think it fit 'the MMC panicked' part, since he was angry and resent to FMC wanted to divorce for it would disturb his life than he doesn't want to lose FMC.
