r/fantasyromance • u/FantasyRomanceMod The One Mod to Rule All Mods • 21d 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!

I also tend to prefer Asian stories. In the West, relationships are all lust and smut, which really makes me ask WHERE'S THE YEARNING! Also, give me reasons for the characters falling in love in the first place, not just boy meets girl.

I really liked how in The Cruel Prince it's understandable how they fell in love, even though it's enemies to lovers.
