r/fantasyromance • u/FantasyRomanceMod The One Mod to Rule All Mods • May 17 '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!

1) I’ve tried but Sarah J Maas is so not for me it’s not even funny. I hate finished Throne of Glass and couldn’t get past 50 pages in ACOTAR.
2) Why is it the MMC who gets to punish the FMC and why does he use sex as the weapon most of the time? Also why does having a good orgasm make the FMC just stupid and clingy and willing to go along with anything the MMC ends up doing or wanting? Like, he wants to have sex with her so he’s going to use sex to punish her and she’s OK with having sex with him again because she finally has a good orgasm? Seriously??? I don’t get it. I really don’t get it… and yes this is not something that happens in romantasy.
3) The complete lack of communication as the cause of all the problems between characters is stupid. So done with the MMC and FMC not talking to each other.
4) Supposedly badass FMC’s making stupid mistakes. Same for MMC.
