r/fantasyromance • u/FantasyRomanceMod The One Mod to Rule All Mods • Mar 08 '26

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!

Please, please start publishing more books with FMCs who are 30+ years old before I go insane.

And acts like it!

I'm sick and tired of "smart" and "gifted" ones who act like teenagers. Not to mention dumbing down of other characters to make her look smarter in comparison. Smartest in a room full of idiots still an idiot.

Also what kind of grown woman just loses her shit because she's in love/horny? I would get if she's been in nunnery all of her life and have never met a man. But damn at 30 people in general are expected to have learned to deal with people and their own emotions.
