    Most love triangles aren't really triangles though, more like two people both interested in the same person. I would love to read more real love triangles!

    About Happy/Unhappy endings: I agree with and I’ll go further to say that I LOVE a bittersweet ending. Everything is great, you defeated the bbeg but you lost everything, or maybe you lost the battle but you saved a bunch more from impending doom. That definitely hits harder for me.

    A good ending, happy or unhappy, has to be fitting. I was thinking of the ending of His Dark Materials. Lyra and Will have to be separated permanently, which is very sad, but it fits the story.

    i don’t love unhappy endings but they won’t ruin a book for me if they make sense and are maybe complex.
    like, if they leave me with interesting things to think about.
    a cheap weepy, i do not like.
    i actually agree with most of your placements, which was surprising and fun.
    do you ever get into nonfiction?

    Just started following you and have now watched every video you have put up. My favorable take: a very well modulated voice that discusses the book and not self promotion constantly: your mov. ment toward romance because you are both honest and you know your audience has read red, white and royal blue 50 times. You have me onboard and my TBR list is growing with every episode.

    my rankings if anyone cares:
    LOVE: incapable of romance, happy ending, unhappy ending, major character death
    LIKE: dystopian, twist ending, the chosen one, enemies to lovers
    ITS OKAY: grumpy/sunshine, unlikely allies, the double cross
    EHHH: monsters, only one bed, cliffhanger
    NO: love triangles, misunderstanding

  • @RiverMark
    @RiverMark Před 2 měsíci

    I "like" the realism of unhappy endings. They sometimes annoy me in the moment (after first finishing the story), but after taking some time to reconcile the story, I do like it (Example: "Never Let Me Go"). I can't categorize it as "love" because of that initial annoyance, so I approve... "like." This was fun.
