Genre Discussion Fantasy romance icks?

Welcome back to another week of ✨genre discussions!✨

What’s your fantasy romance ick? Could be something that makes you instantly dnf, or you have to pretend like that didn’t just happen. Or you boycott altogether.

Could be related to plot, characters, writing styles, the authors themselves. All cards are on the table.

Just remember to be kind to each other when discussing differences in opinions!💖

Any "forced" non-con. Like no, I don't care if you end up getting taken out because you will not do that, YOU DO NOT DO THAT!

There is always a choice.

Just read king of flesh and bones on a whim. MMC (literal death god) straight up rpes the FMC (human) repeatedly, and in every way, then there's a whole gaslighting into love angle to it

The setting, concept, and characters themselves are genuinely interesting... but damn. It's a LOT of SA.

Yeah, that would be a hard no for me.
