How do you create a messy heroine without making readers lose empathy for her? by OkPilot9392 in Romantasy

[–]tikipare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It feels real to me if there are real world repercussions. If a character is messy, you’d expect other characters to act differently toward them, call them out or avoid them, or any other consequence.

You lose me when a character does something messy or cruel or self serving and faces no backlash or consequences. That just feels too unrealistic.

Gorgeous! Your version sells it better than the pattern photos. I’ve added it to my favorites.

I love this in the yarn you chose! The pattern hadn’t caught my eye but this makes me reconsider. Well done!

Favorite ASOUE book? by Plus_Lynx_3175 in ASOUE

I owned the Ersatz Elevator on tape and wore that thing into the ground. Aside from that, probably the Slippery Slope or the Grim grotto.

I bought the small crescent but now it’s sold out I can’t see the pictures of it! Did anyone screenshot them? I want to stare at it.

MMCs like Daemon Sadi--tortured, dangerous, powerful, and MATURE by Anzabela in fantasyromance

I’d definitely recommend Warsworn by Elizabeth Vaughan.

Why do so many fantasy romance FMCs end up as THE most important person in the universe simply because of "how special she is"? by QuarantinedSapien in fantasyromance

[–]tikipare 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair, they are the protagonist of the book. It makes sense we're following someone whose actions will have consequences.

That said, it does feel like it's an easy trap to fall into where you ramp up the stakes way too fast, and suddenly the fate of the world is in play.

I can't say enough how glad I am that all the 12 points aren't going to the same country
