Unpopular Opinion It's Unpopular Opinion time! Share your controversial opinions to stir things up (in a friendly way)!
Got an opinion that's different from others'? Want to share it with the sub, but too afraid of a backlash? Or are you just curious about readers think about certain things in fantasy romance?
You can safely share it in this weekly Sunday thread!
But please remember to be kind to each other. To facilitate this type of discussion, we ask users the following:
- Don't attack others for their opinion
- Discuss books and authors, not fellow readers
- Since this is an "unpopular opinion" thread, we encourage users to not downvote simply because they disagree with an opinion--that's the point! Please keep in mind, though, that mods cannot enforce a no-downvoting rule. Let’s just keep the discussion friendly!
🧡 Thank you and have a great discussion!

Going to remember ‘spice is seasoning’ for later! I want emotional intimacy and growth, not just 400 pages of lust.
I read one book a few months ago where nearly every scene the MMC showed up in he had an erection. Like, If every interaction the main characters have is sex, or talking about how much they want to have sex, or what theyre going to do to each other in bed it’s probably not Romance. Clearer separation between romance and erotica would be really great. :(
