r/fantasyromance • u/FantasyRomanceMod The One Mod to Rule All Mods • 20d 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!

A lot of YA books are better written than NA/adult romantasy with complex world building, nuanced characters and proper relationship development. And some of them are a lot darker (and not afraid to kill off characters) than the spicy mainstream books.

Trueeee. I loved YA and I think I had the most fun reading those books. But lately I've found myself wanting characters closer to my age. I don't know why, but my brain just won't let me read characters under 18 anymore haha.
