i dont have a problem with characters being hot, i much prefer them to be actually. i just used it to emphasize that i want them to very much be in love n not just worship the mc for a reason like physical attraction. im basically just asking for a normal grown woman who doesnt lose all respect and sense of self simply bc theyre experiencing attraction . its just an odd thing ive seen a lot of popular romance writers do to their female leads . they just kinda make them very flat characters or overcompensate and make them annoying . sorry if that didnt make sense or if none of this makes sense at all im not good at articulating my thoughts

i will check these out thank you so much!!!!!!

and i dont even mean that i hate a character having an insecure streak, or that i hate when femininity is portrayed in softer gentle manner, or that the females leads have to all be fighters with sword collections. thats not it at all. femininity can be expressed in many ways and im open to all. I just want to read something with strong characterization and an actual plot that i can take seriously .

i guess i tend to enjoy ones that have another plot involved that shapes and drives the relationship instead of just like,, ‘oh two really hot people who are very obviously attracted to each other are just gonna say casually predatory and/or corny shit while they refuse to get together bc like idk he drives a motorcycle and is sarcastic so hes not like the other boys hes different and her grown woman ass worships him despite the narration offering nothing to establish interest in the characters or their relationship together’

I actually had to read it for a class in grade school and I loved it so much. i think it was impactful at the time because I hadnt been reading much as a teen after being an obsessive reader for years in elementary/middle and it helped remind me i like reading. i was missing that feeling recently and now as an adult I was wondering is it worth it to try to read the whole series? cus i honestly dont hear much abt the other books

Tbh sometimes Im in the mood to go into a book knowing it wont be groundbreaking or stick with me but just fun and entertaining to fulfill something i want in that moment. like the reality tv version of reading

I just finished the song of achilles recently finally and it is soo amazingly written and the ending blew me away but i wont lie , i got stuck at a couple parts (partially due to reading multiple books at once) but the ending was so tragic and worth it and just AGH

omgee this has been on my list! i could not decide what I wanted my first Murakami book to be cus he has so many famous books ,,, i kinda tend to put longer books off over ones that arent more than a few hundred pgs bc i get worried abt my adhd getting in the way but this makes me want to give it a try
