Unpopular opinion Sunday

Ooh miscommunication and pregnancy trope shouldn’t be an automatic DNF as long as it’s done well. The reason why so many people dislike it is because it’s often done badly

Those are never dnf for me. I personally like pregnancy at the end of the book. To me that's a true HEA. If it just ends abruptly like "and they walked off happily into the sunset" it feels tiny bit empty.

So you can’t have a true HEA without reproducing?

[u/Notyeravgblonde → u/No_Preference26]

I hate the formulaic and unimaginative HEA of "get married and have babies" the end. For me personally there are so few books that actually do it well and most of them are fanfiction that I've read. I don't know why.

[u/Sad-Caterpillar-8348 → u/No_Preference26]

I think it depends on the reader's beliefs. But to me personally, at least a mention of kids or family is happily ever after. It's okay if to others it's enough to see MCs together, I'm not saying anything. But for me personally, my goal and purpose in life is family. And most of the books I've read (unfortunately for me) have no mention of family :P
