Enemies to lovers went from being about two people who fall in love with each other despite their hatred and differences to an irritating, annoying privileged man forcing himself on a woman.
@@DarwinRoger893 very well put!
@@theatomicanniethank you, I'm so glad people understand my frustrations with how tropes are being written. Last week I saw someone call a book enemies to lovers between a victim of kidnapping and the kidnapper. Like that is not enemies to lovers. AT ALL
when i see people only having sjm books in their bookshelves I get sceptical…
I don’t mind romantasy existing, I just can’t stand how it’s being shoved down my throat. It’s harder to find fantasy without romance in it. I found Fourth Wing independent of the hype, and I won’t deny that I had a good time reading it. But honestly, I think that’s because I truly didn’t care about whatever romance violet and xaden had; I was there for the dragons lol. All the sexual tension and stuff went in one ear and out the other, I was reading the non-dragon parts to get to the dragons lol. Iron Flame is definitely worse and the ending is incredibly stupid.
Also, I’m of the opinion that a person who truly cannot read a book without spice doesn’t like reading, they enjoy using books to consume pornography. I don’t think that’s a bad thing, but I don’t think they’re readers.
I absolutely agree. I also think that the dragons were the strongest aspect of Fourth Wing. I need to read up on the Iron Flame ending I think. I am too nosy :D especially with the third book coming out soon. I can't wait to see the reviews of what is likely to be a total mess.
@@theatomicannie Xaden turns into a venin to save Violet for some reason, I think she was being threatened by a venin lord or something and xaden turned into one to save her? I don’t fully remember, I just remember hearing it through the audiobook and being like, “that’s… so dumb.” Especially since the reveal of it was cringy and melodramatic.
I love the editing in this video so much its funny, just the right amount of cuts and memes!!!! Keep it going
thank you so much! 💕 editing these is so much fun as well!
Great video! My thoughts exactly on ' romantasy ' / romantic fantasy. I used to love reading it but outgrown it because everything is the same. Love the break down you did. Wishing you more subscribers ! 🙂
thank youu for your comment 🥺🥰 happy you liked it!
@@theatomicannie 😊
16:05 whoops. The bitter truth 😂
I’m getting ready to query an epic high fantasy and I’m searching for comp titles and actively have to avoid romantasy because it’s like a plague in the industry right now. I do think it’s going to burn out though
I feel you! I am in the dire need of proper world building and good writing after reading all of these 😩
I also think the trend will eventually die down. But I feel like it will just get replaced by the next weird hybrid genre.
The characters are supposed to be very not skin deep if they follow their life experience, but are always so shallow and obsessed with looks its just off putting. No progress just being for the sake of being. Its not believable. Also should be 500+ years old but think and act like 16. So irritating
