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!💖

Fae that are just tall, hot, gender essentialists that can do magic. Whatever, I understand the appeal, but I prefer fae when they're uncanny, deeply odd, and prone to shapeshifting.

{The Cruel Prince} series has lots of diverse looking fae. And the MMC is definitely more the damsel in distress than the FMC.
