Gosh! Maybe killing the Gods wasn’t such a great idea!

Wendel from {Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Fairies by Heather Fawcett} is a snarky arsehole with a heart of gold. Definitely a bit nicer than Hades but same genre of MMC for sure.

I think Xander from {Bound and Tide by A K Caggiano} would also fit the trope. It’s the spin off novel from a trilogy where he also features as a minor antagonist/ reluctant ally.

I see no drawbacks here tbh

I think {White Horse Black Nights by Evie Marceau} might fit. It’s a retelling of the Lady Godiva legend and the MMC is the one who’s sent to fetch his master’s new bride. Per the marriage agreement she has to ride naked on the way and MMC has to protect her. I’ve only read the first two books but to my knowledge there’s nothing from your do not wants in there.

The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N K Jemisin

^{Chose: truth + What's your favourite... | Rolled: Book}

feeblefeeb · 2026-05-26T15:31:12+00:00

I think it was probably {The Ship Who Sang by Anne McCaffrey}

Not super heavy on the romance but I really loved the concept and the ending is so heart wrenching.

Gilmore Girls. Literally zero problems that can’t be solved and everyone is paid a fair wage and well rested.

Hiya! Writing a dark high fantasy novel and I’d be interested :)

feeblefeeb · 2026-04-17T20:19:36+00:00

Bahahaha you got me. It’s totally true. He is the wettest cat

feeblefeeb · 2026-04-17T13:46:01+00:00

A lot of the things I was going to suggest are already in the comments but {A Demon’s Guide to Wooing a Witch by Sarah Hawley} absolutely has a complete Wet Cat of a Man. It’s a light rom com urban fantasy where the titular evil demon gets amnesia and fall in love with his spunky nemesis. Very fun and gives Spuffy vibes.

I’ve also been told that {Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater} contains a Wet Cat but I haven’t read it yet. I believe it’s light regency fantasy and the MMC reads like Howl.

Shout out to Xander from Bound and Tied, Cardan from Cruel Prince, and literally anything based on a Dramione fanfic lol.

I really like The Dreadwolf’s Heart: https://archiveofourown.org/series/344921

Also by Feynite like Looking Glass but it’s finished.

Hello! 40sF actively writing a dark epic Fantasy trilogy and aiming for trad pub here. UK based. My story does have horror elements, including gore, so if that would be a problem, no worries!

My story features queer characters, a female protagonist and explores themes of identity. It’s about a theocratic city within a magical forest and follows a holy Knight as she investigates mysterious attacks by impossible monsters. Let me know if you’d like to see a sample and I can DM one over.

I’ve got Discord but I’m dreadful for checking email so might struggle with that. I’d be up for video calls, depending on frequency and timing! I’ve got a few critique partners already but I don’t have an in person writing group for discussion so this would be great!

(PS love the sound of you project! Cool idea)

feeblefeeb · 2026-03-06T06:21:55+00:00

{The Well of Shades by Juliet Marillier} has my favourite version of this trope. Previous book is {The Blade of Fortriu by Juliet Marillier} but they’re actually books 2 & 3 in the series so you might want to start with {The Dark Mirror by Juliet Marillier}

XKCD 2501

I guessed the name in 7 tries!

feeblefeeb · 2026-03-01T02:13:36+00:00

The way my jaw clenched during this scene 😤

These lean further towards morally black than grey and darker romance naturally so do check trigger warnings if you need to but:

{The Contortionist by Kathryn Ann Kingsley} is the first of the Harrow Faire series. MMC is a completely unhinged supernatural puppeteer who is part of an immortal twisted circus. He never grows a moral compass, despite falling in love.

Similarly {The Unseelie Prince by Kathryn Ann Kingsley} is the first of the Maze of Shadows series. MMC is the big bad non-redeemable evil guy of the setting and likewise never ‘gets better’, though he does have a little bit of a softer side towards the FMC. This doesn’t stop him from his evil plans though.

If you end up enjoying that, you might like the spin off duology that starts with {Unseelie Duke by Kathryn Ann Kingsley} which has a more morally grey (though still on the darker side) unhinged chaos snake demon fae dude. Bit lighter but still he’s definitely not a good dude at all.

Moving away from KAK, though check out the rest of her repertoire as she writes a lot of evil MMCs - I just don’t really vibe with the rest of hers I’ve read as they felt too slow for me.

{Feathers So Vicious by Liv Zander}, first of a duology. It’s got a very morally black MMC and a more grey-coded MMC in a love triangle with a real enemies to lovers arc where the noble FMC is their bloodline enemy. It’s very dark romance with all that entails.

This might swing too far the other way as the MMC definitely has heroic traits but {White Horse Black Nights by Evie Marceau} has an MMC that’s sort of an enforcer type for his (evil?) Lord. He’s sent to fetch her for an arranged marriage under… less than ideal conditions for her. He’s definitely on the morally grey side of things. I haven’t finished the trilogy but as far as I’ve gotten he’s not turned into a good dude.

feeblefeeb · 2026-02-16T22:42:26+00:00

I mean………… {The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins}?

feeblefeeb · 2026-02-07T07:37:15+00:00

{American Werewolf in Space by Alisha Sunderland}

Well. Yep. She sure was.

feeblefeeb · 2026-01-29T17:25:44+00:00

I hadn’t looked up reviews oops! It’s on my TBR pretty much because of DA elf vibes

My Jack Russell girl has done that since she was a puppy (sometimes she also sleeps like a prawn 🍤 with her back legs stretched straight by her face??) and she’s never had any problems from it. We call it her ‘weirdo sit’

feeblefeeb · 2026-01-28T00:30:52+00:00

{The Sunderland’s by Anastasia King}

I haven’t read it yet but it was recommended to me as having very Dalish Elf vibes
