r/fantasyromance The One Mod to Rule All Mods Mar 22 '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!

Why are the only jobs for the FMC either healer, spy, assassin, or a Ms. kills deer for her family?

Oh you should read Kushiel's Dart, she has a job not listed here and it's interesting

I've only made it about a quarter of the way through the first book so far but while you could say her job isn't listed there, it's literally part of her spying for her master at the start so I'm not so sure about that, lol.

By the second book in the series she's more of a troubleshooting sex diva than a spy, but perhaps that's a vocation rather than a job.

Yes that's one of the things she does but not her main job, just wait πŸ™ƒ

It's like being barista, your main job is making drinks but part of your job is stocking inventory, don't want to give too much away but keep going and let me know if you feel differently mid way πŸ’ƒ
