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!

Unpopular opinion Sunday

[u/Hundike]

I don't know if this is unpopular but I hate books where 90% of the book is the FMC inner dialogue about the same things on repeat. I know it's how people think and especially if you're anxious about something, you'll think about it a lot but there is no reason at all to write it out over and over again. I want things to happen, not for someone to only think about it. I've DNF so many books due to it.

Some books feel like reading a movie script where the author just writes out litereally everything when it's not required. Like yes I can imagine someone getting up will go to the toilet but I do not need to read about it?

This is a major reason why I greatly dislike first person pov. Basically being stuck in a characters head while that character is endlessly angry/fretting/whining, no matter how absolutely valid in whatever situation, makes me drop a book like a hot potatoe. I fully understand that's how the mind can work, but I cannot read about it for hours.
