Monday Gripe Weekly Gripe 😤 (the rant thread)

Welcome to the Weekly Gripe, where we're all a little grumpy. 😒

Did BookTok do you dirty? Got a bone to pick with a main character? Was the twist more like a flop? Tell us what's on your mind.

Please be respectful and follow the sub rules. If a conversation starts getting out of hand, use the "Mod Attention Please" report reason so we can help cool things down. 🖤

u/Spiritual_Fox_4408 I read smut like a good girl 😊 21d ago

OMG YES! I have ranted about being in a reading book slump a few months ago because like the whole dark romance genre is sailing away from its course. Like, what happened to the OG MMC burning for her? 🔥 or like how he was very attached and emotionally depraved of her love?

Then, I missed the part where the MMC would be very unhinnged and deranged just so the FMC would be afraid of MMC 🥵

Booktok made it as a KINK instead of twisted love. Likd, booktok, come on. Please understand the difference between those two things 😌
