So im watching this playlist of a bunch of youtubers reviewing the last decade of goodreads awards winner by genre because i love people rightfully shitting on goodreads but like? One of the ones i watched was romance because yeah obviously and the woman who reviewed was like really into the romance genre and im geniunely not trying to be a cunt but i dont understand how someone can be geniunely into the romance genre like!!!! You like books where nothing fucking happens? And a lot of her criticisms were like there wasnt enough romance because it was just a subplot or there was too much stuff from other genres and like.....yeah? You have to like you cant carry an entire book on one relationship like sure thats an opinion because i literally dont understand romance books but like????? Like idk im not trying to be a cunt but like WHAT is appealing about a pure romance book???

#Like obviously im influenced by being a lesbian and LOL LMAO AS IF THATS GONNA FUCKING SELL IN MAINSTREAM ROMANCE a genre dominated by #Cishet women like of course of the 10 books 8 were straight relationships and 2 were mlm gay relationships because cishet women hate wlw #But like even if wlw romance books were everywhere im still like....how can you enjoy something thats just so ...nothing!!! How do you #Enjoy the literary equivalent of your friend talking about their new annoying boyfriend nonstop #Like even if i think about the lesbian relationships in media i enjoy its not in romance books like #I like sarah waters books because theyre historical thrillers not because its just a lesbian relationship existing and then i wait 8 books #For them to fuck like #Like maybe tipping the velvet is the closet waters got to a romance book but theres so much more explored in it like i dont understand the #Appeal of ....just romance like that shit is usually a subplot for a reason!!!!!!#Idk why i wrote all of this but well idk i just...dont understand romance like #ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS REVIEWER had to read 3 coho books and was like??? For it ends with us she said it wasnt a romance book because it #Romance books require a happy ending???????? Like huh????? What is coho if not the worlds worst romance author who is occasionally the #Worlds wost thriller/romance writer???#Like if one of your constraints for the genre is a happy ending like what the fuck thats so restrictive for no reason??? Why would you read #It if you know wow this couple? Who the whole book is about only? Gets together and HAS to be happily ever aftered or else its...suddenly #Not a romance book?????#Like huh?????????????????

It's all fun and games and laughing at BookTok until you can't get on AO3 anymore, as someone who likes both romance and fanfic.

Friends to lovers --> boo, basic, everyone's seen it before

Lovers to best friends with an even stronger bond because they both realized they were aromantic -> new, way cooler, yay, i would pay all i have (2 pennies and a button) to see it
