liking romantasy as an ace person who is more sex-indifferent than sex-favorable is so exhausting. there are all these books that look cool but the authors mostly market them based on spicy levels and spicy scenes and it does nothing for me so i just sit here like :| thats nice i guess haha

#nothing wrong with spicy levels btw #but spicy is like a plus for me #i only really enjoy it if i like the romance first so all the marketing is lost on me #which is why i think fantasy romance wip has no target audience at all LOL WHO IS THIS FOR EXCEPT ME SPECIFICALLY #its such a specific niche like #if you like romantasy but queer #and queer as in transmac & nonbinary ppl mostly with ace/aro characters #might have spicy stuff but not much and not for a long time #huge platonic element but the romance is There (I SWEAR)#who wants to read this even #again: this is not a condemnation of romantasy its more a 'i want to read this and there isnt much of it and that makes me sad' thing #ren.txt #i feel like im stuck between regular adult fantasy which is usually very dry and emotionless with no well written relationship to speak of #(romantic or otherwise)#and romantasy which has the emotion i want bUT GOES ABOUT IT IN A WAY I CANT RELATE #*shakes fantasy genres* IF YOU COULD JUST MEET IN THE MIDDLE
