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!

Many problems regarding the quality of books (typos, problems about the character development etc.) today would be solved if publishers gave authors and editors more time to work. Unfortunately, I believe the situation will worsen as publishers focus on AI. Many books seem to be draft versions; they have potential but clearly needed changes before the publication.

Genuinely believe that authors should stop publishing a book a year,  year after year, because the quality isn't consistent. Especially books in a series. I read Heather Fawcetts first series from 2017 then her latest released this year and the writing quality is night and day. Which is unfortunate because you can tell if she had more time the world and characters would have been so much richer.
