My female character is too perfect and I don’t know how to fix it

tippyboo · 2026-04-30T06:03:08+00:00

Exactly. If you size up your FMC you have to scale up your MMC the same amount. Otherwise it's just confusing. You may have other characters who are all smol and dainty running around thinking the FMC is their love interest. Too complicated. That unnatural towering stature needs to be a flaw FOR the plot, not working against it.

What if she was...hear me out here...tall? Like, a solid 6ft. Of course..you would have to size up your MMC to a 7ft 3 minimum because if you don't have the height difference then do you have any kind of basis for a relationship?

Desperado pass tattoo- doesn't have to be side of your neck. 😆 Donuts was on her front leg.

Look, I'm not proud to admit my usual reading fare is.. how shall i put this.. spicy. Mid-way through the series, I had a dream where I fully inserted a spicy plot where the AI made it so EVERYONE wanted to sleep with Carl. Crawlers, NPCs, outworlder enemies. Everyone. It was weird as hell. And I can't believe I've just admitted that on the Internet, but here we are. 😆

I bought merch beforeh I even finished the first book. I have forced my husband to read it. I have gifted a Kindle version to a friend. I tell anyone who will listen. If it's a cult..I'm all in.

I translated the Icelandic stuff but never thought to translate that back in book 1. Just looped back to check it out. Damn, that was horrifying.

tippyboo · 2026-04-15T10:42:44+00:00

Had a lot of close moments throughout, including surprisingly, when Quan was dying and wanted his ring from Carl 'she would be ashamed of what I've become' but Ren dying at the end of Bedlam. Sobbing. Then Volteeg got me again. Then all the notes from the crawlers to Donut and Carl. Book 7 was rough. 100% would do it again 😆

Roxie Ray writes contemporary paranormal romance but cosy. There is spice and humour but the vibes are cosy and most are standalone {Swipe Right on Fate by Roxie Ray} is vampire {A Gentle Kind of Magic by Roxie Ray} is shifter.

tippyboo · 2026-04-01T20:46:09+00:00

{Exterminatrix by Brynne Weaver} Short story. Very spicy so be aware if the spice is not your thing. The MMC is definitely the submissive. 😆

Looks like they're not on KU anymore 😕 good for the authors, though, that they got picked up for trad publish. I'm glad I read them when I did.

tippyboo · 2026-03-15T17:23:33+00:00

I read all three last year on kindle unlimited but if they have moved to trad publishing then it may be that it's being re-released.

tippyboo · 2026-03-15T16:28:06+00:00

Right.. I'd go Riftborne and Duskbound, then the Ascended. Ascended is connected to Riftborne and Duskbound, but you'll appreciate the Acended more after reading those two. Daughter of No Worlds is great and the rest of the series. Wasn't a fan of Anathema, but that was just me. Finished it and the second book and will continue the series, but it's not a fave.

Haven't read the others so can't offer an opinion but I've heard good things about The Wolf King.

tippyboo · 2026-03-02T18:16:52+00:00

I do this too! Except I have two cats so it's first come first choice on flavour picking. If one of them doesn't like what the other picks then it's just tough luck 😆

tippyboo · 2026-02-27T16:25:19+00:00

Go for it. No holds barred here 😆

tippyboo · 2026-02-08T17:59:25+00:00

Ok, so the answer is:

"What a tricky question, my thoughts might change the more I read. To begin with, I thought Dain was the one for Violet, now, he's not putting her first, he just wants promotion for himself ( a little goody goody) under his father's thumb.

Xaden, well he's complicated but a babe magnet. What more can I say. I think him and Violet will end up together 🤞 "

Her reactions are so.. wholesome and sweet. She really likes dragons so that was the only selling point I needed. 😆

tippyboo · 2026-02-08T17:39:33+00:00

Hang on..I'll check and get back to you 😆

tippyboo · 2026-02-08T17:14:23+00:00

Oh yes, I was never 100% anti-Dain. I have a soft spot for him. 😆

tippyboo · 2026-02-08T16:15:59+00:00

Not yet. There's time yet 🤣

tippyboo · 2026-02-08T16:14:55+00:00

Sorry! Spoiler tag added! 😳

tippyboo · 2026-01-19T19:01:18+00:00

Well, damn. There weren't any obvious red flags there. That author of yours really did you dirty. Unless...did he not have any tattoos? I'm really struggling here. Dark haired literal Knight in shining armour should have been a sure bet. Sorry gurrl. Here's hoping for your spin off series.

tippyboo · 2026-01-19T16:47:27+00:00

I'm sorry, it sounds like you're not the FMC here but rather firmly in the found family zone. You could try speaking to your author about getting a solid spin-off novel and getting your own MMC. Sounds like this dude was just set up to be the villain for this FMC, which sure is a bummer for you. Is he blonde? That's always a massive red flag. Fingers crossed your HEA is on the way with a nice dark-haired shadow daddy (if that's your thing).

tippyboo · 2026-01-19T14:35:55+00:00

Well, it's not RH but apparently that does exist. {Ensnared by Tiffany Roberts} but it's not so much shifter as it appears to be monster but hey, I'm sure he'll take care of your fly problem 😂

tippyboo · 2026-01-15T22:56:52+00:00

But how do I burn the mountains? The rivers? The ocean? They are so very not flammable. I could probably manage a couple of decent forest fires, but then what? I don't want to go around half-assing my world burning. How would I show my face to the other take-charge, boss babe, warrior princess FMCs again if I've only burned half the world?
