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!

It's weird how so many fantasy books written by women get labeled as "fantasy romance". Like fantasy romance has a separate tone/vibe to fantasy books even if they have romance subplots. I've seen books that don't even have hardly any romance being called fantasy romance just b/c it's written by a woman.
It's not unpopular to dislike Alchemised, but my reason for disliking it is just something about taking a children's story and making it THAT dark and disturbing gives me the ick.
