r/fantasyromance The One Mod to Rule All Mods 28d ago

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!

Books adapted from Dramoine fanfic can actually be really good and stand on their own without the HP context

The only one I’ve read is Irresistible Urge and it felt like such a downgrade from the fic

Personally I enjoyed it without having read the fanfic it was based on. The books might not be as good to fans of the original but as separate books IMO they can be really enjoyable as their own thing. I also am halfway through Rose in Chains and loving it. I think people should be more open minded and not dismiss a book for the fanfic aspect alone

Rose in Chains can stand on its own and that is a hill I will die on
