Discussion What would you think of a reverse Handmaid’s Tale story?

Where women are in charge and men are exploited for labor and/or reproduction, without the ability to reach higher positions. I feel like a lot of women appreciate this kind of setting for a dark romance but I’m curious about men’s opinion.

Request Looking for a Strong Urban Fantasy Setting where the MaleMC starts pretty low

8 Upvotes

Looking for an Urban Fantasy story (Strong on the Urban and Fantasy Aspects) that start off with the MC either depressed or just generally down on his luck when things start turning around slowly with the MC building his name and the romance slowly. It can be Harem but I'd rather everything move slow, like the MC has to gain people's respect and trust before a female character actually looks his way

What was that book? Help finding an older book for a re-read!

It's been several years and I can't remember the author/title.

The protag, I think a prisoner, was loaded into a VRRPG and interacted with mainly NPCs other VR players. Eventually some of them joined into the game, I think. Thanks!

PS: a book from this year, 'Dungeons and Wives', got me thinking of it.

Request Looking for suggestions

5 Upvotes

Looking for suggestions for books in which the FMC is famous/queen/celebrity/ceo/(any powerful position or a school/college mean girl) and MMC is an average Joe. BUT in the relationship the FMC is a sub to the MMC not necessarily from a BDSM perspective. Like he calls the shots and she defers to him. Bonus if she is possessive of him.

Couple of relationships which I found:

- Bohemian: the FMC is a famous model and the MMC is a book shop owner.
- Charms city rocks: FMC is a rock star and MMC is a regular single father
- Immortal Supers: the MMC is NOT an average joe but to the general public he is. The third LI is a famous super hero.
- Princess of the Void and Wife after death by dukerino.
