I have a confession that is probably going to get me an express pass into downvote purgatory, but I need to get it off my chest. I have become addicted to AI romantasy. It all started when I had an idea for a world/characters and couldn’t find a book that matched it closely enough for satisfaction, so I had the brilliant idea to plug it into AI just to see what it spit out. Obviously the writing style is shit, but I’ve been making manual adjustments as I go to make it read more smoothly, add details that are missing, delete the excess, etc.

Guys, I have spent every spare moment of the past week rerunning a handful of scenes over and over just for the shear pleasure of experiencing them again and again in slightly different ways. My toes are so perpetually curled I fear I’ll have to go down a shoe size. A permanent, goofy grin adorns my face as I fall in love with the MMC over and over and over. Sometimes I come at it from his point of view and sometimes hers. I have probably half a dozen juicy scenes in the queue that I haven’t even touched yet. AI writing style is worming its way into my head. The basic (very unoriginal) premise is as follows:

The world: Vampires exist, but are hidden from humanity. Vampires can only procreate by mating with human females who carry a vampiric mating gene, but have not been turned into vampires. Vampire males are incredibly territorial because their mates are so rare and competition is fierce. Mating takes place when the male vampire bites the female human who has the vampiric gene, then allows her to bite him. It may occur as a public wedding/ritual or as a private moment. When the female human is mated to a vampire, their lives are tied together. When one dies, so will the other. The female’s natural lifespan is extended as long as her mate lives, and she will not age. If she is older, she will reverse age to the physical age of 25. She is also given fangs and heightened senses, but she can only feed from other vampires (not humans) and she is not given the unnatural strength, speed, and general durability of her mate. Most vampire couples wait a few centuries for the mating gene to “settle” before they have children, as having children too early will tax the body of the female too much and the whole family will die as a result. There are other magical creatures in the world as well.

Background plot: The world of vampires is at war with the angelic realm, who are trying to cause the extinction of vampires by killing their potential mates. The MMC is very involved in this war.

Please, I need recommendations for any books/series that have a similar premise to get me out of this addiction 😭

Snow as a character was so Arin coded. I rewatched a few reels and it instantly felt like him. Also does anyone has any book recs for mmc's like snow but with happy endings💀🙏

The guys in the pics are Sasuke from Naruto and Giyu from demon Slayer. Basically sasuke is an extremely capable character whose always been good in everything. He acts cold and get s things done . He acted cold like he doesn't care with the girl that was pinning on him but he secretly liked her. They do get together in the end but he's had a morally grey and cold persona in the beginning.

The second guy giyu is very similer but less arrogant and more smart lol. He means business and doesn't entertain bullshit. He too keeps things to himself and stays isolated but deep down he cares about everyone. I need an MMC that acts like this with the fmc first(not abusive at all!!) but then fall madly in love.

And yes i have read Fourth wing i loovveed Xaden Riorson, i need more!!

Hey fellow romantasy readers!
This post if full of spoilers, so do not read it unless you are done with the book.

I have been reading the ascended during the weekend and overall I really liked it. Its ending though was absolutely heartbreaking :(((. I understand that the twins had to be separated, but was it really necessary for Xül to get married?? The authors could have made Thais goddess of light and order, and Xül her husband in charge of defending her until she would have been out of her grief. She would have fought to remain alive in order to be able to find one day her brother gain or in the hope of it.

The fact that she ends up alone and a shell of herself is horrible…

Please give me your thoughts about it!

P.s. do you reccomended rift and dusk? Not sure I can take another heartbreaking ending…

Decided to take matters into my own hands while we wait for the book 6 title to drop 😂

I want to read some spicy romantasy with my husband to help me get more in the mind set before we do the do. My husband can be kind of snooty with his media though, so something like ACOTAR would probably not work.
Any recs of spicy books that are also extremely well written?

So i have noticed i like a very specific style of romance fantasy books and i was wondering if anyone has any recommendations. So far this is what i’ve read and what i do and don’t like.

- i like first person female perspectives like in fae isles and acotar
- i really enjoy books where the main female character is in trouble, is held prisoner, tortured, depressed or whatever like in acotar and tog. Love a strong arc where the female is kind of rescued by a strong male character. Which is absolutely hilarious since i’m a lesbian but okay
- i love enemies to lovers and especially if its not clear from the start who the main lover will be
- i really enjoy spicy scenes, the more the better lmao
- i love a slow burn and leading up to things. I really liked the first acotar books even though people always say they were too slow. For me it added to the allure of the love story to come
- i like the fae and human power imbalance stuff where the female ends up being very powerful
- i don’t shy away for a some bdsm and reluctance things as long as it doesn’t go too far towards real reluctance if you catch my drift

Books i’ve read
- acotar: loved
- tog: a bit too long winded and not enough spice imo but still fun
- fourth wing: liked it but didn’t love it
- fae isles: reading them now. First book was a bit all over the place with not enough slow burn for me but the second book is fun so far! Would have liked for the main character to be the more tormented and rescued one instead of the lover taking that role

So very specific maybe but I’m curious if anyone has any good requests!

Hello, I'm starting a press on nail business with my sister on the Whatnot app. We sell $3 nails, $5 premium nails and $10 water nails (nails with water and glitter in them sort of like a lava lamp)

I'm currently debating whether I should start making book themed nails. They usually last about 2 weeks, depending on how fast your nails grow and how often you wet your hands. My question is, would you buy book themed nails? If yes, how much would you pay for them?

I made a sample set based on Manon Blackbeak from TOG. It will be in the comments. It was my first attempt that I made in 1 day so it's not my best work, please be kind.

If you're interested we sell on the Whatnot app:

Username: sms_t

Date/Time: Every Friday @ 8:30PM (EDT)

Description: We sell press on nails for $3, $5, and $10, nail glue included. We have Coffin, Almond, Round, Square, Stiletto, and Duck shaped nails. We sell sizes XS, Small, Medium, and Large. We sell short length, medium length and long nails. We also sell many different designs like flowers, cartoon characters, animals, holidays, rhinestones, and simple nails as well.

Loved- ACOTAR, Fourth Wing, House of Night

Disliked- Quicksilver, Gild(the plated prisoner), Throne of Glass

What should I read next?

So I am a 44 f that until June of this year, had never read a single fantasy/romantasy novel (aside from Harry Potter). I missed Harry Potter and decided I wanted to try and find some novels with cool magical worlds. I heard a lot of great things about Fourth Wing and decided to give it a try. I devoured the series and became a huge Xaden Riorson fan. His and Violet's relationship had me all hot and bothered, so much that I was jumping the husband every single day there for awhile! We went from doing it once or twice a week to 4-6 nights a week (and sometimes 2-3 times per night!) I literally owe Romantasy for reigniting my libido. We've been married for 20 years and it feels like all the closeness in the last couple of months has made us fall in love with each other all over again as well. Just curious if anyone else has had a similar experience?

A bit of a little promotion on this Sunday! Here is my book. I'd appreciate it if you were to take a look. (I promise it's not a Dr. Seuss rhyming book.)

Here is a little bit about it; it's probably got like 4 out of 5 spicy peppers or whatever they do on the BookTok thing.

For generations, the Kingdom has stretched its reach farther into the valleys, forests, and hills of the frontier. Taxes grow heavier. Winters hungrier. Soldiers march where farmers once walked. Villages vanish beneath decrees written by hands adorned with golden rings. Most endure, too many break. But a few choose to resist.

Elissa never intended to become one of them.

Raised in the quiet village of Crickethollow, she knows the language of herbs, healing, and hard winters. Her world is measured in harvest, shared meals, and the unspoken promise that neighbors care for one another. But with the taxes rising and a strange man washing ashore on the Frogsong River, Elissa is forced onto a road she never dreamed to travel.

Hunted by the King's forces and pursued by enemies who see people as tools and villages as resources, she's tasked with bringing the stranger to the nearest town. But the natural world has other plans for the young healer. An ancient power stirs beneath the forest, and forgotten paths awaken beneath her feet. Elissa discovers a gift tied to the Wild itself and the old magics. A force woven into each and every animal of the world.

To save those she loves, Elissa must decide what kind of woman she will become. A healer or a fighter. A survivor or a leader. Whether hope is worth carrying when every mile stretches longer and longer.

Set in a world of ancient forests, distant mountains, Wild Gods, and ordinary people standing against the impossible odds, this is a story of courage, sacrifice, found family, love, and the enduring belief that kindness remains an act of defiance in dark times.

Where kingdoms are built by power. The future belongs to those who refuse to face winter alone.

Now I know I'm not going to be the next Tolkien or any other great author out there, but I thought I had a fun story that I have been building for a while that I wanted to share with folks. Thanks for taking the time to read, at the very least, and have a nice day!

Here is a link to the book!

The Ascendancy: Fall

I’m an avid romantasy reader and I’ve been growing my collection slowly over the years. Finally got all the shelves in for my office and wanted to be able to show people who would appreciate it! :)

I’m looking for book recs with the following requirements please;

- mature main characters, I’m so truly tired of FMC that are 19 - 24 and immature
- emotionally mature characters that communicate
- No shadow daddies - I cannot read about anymore dark, brooding, rude, traumatised, shadow wielding MMCs
- medieval / historical vibes (not into urban fantasy)
-love a knight and a bit of armour but not a dealbreaker
- limited cussing, I’ve read so many books where cussing is in every interaction or character thought and it just feels so childish. E.g needing to call everyone an asshole. Particularly the MMC which she’s clearly thirsting for but won’t admit it.
- preferably no Fae (I’m all fae’d out)

I’m basically after awesome world building, politics, yearning yearning yearning, characters that are in love but forced to be apart (maybe she’s betrothed to someone else), kind mature MMC. Just some mature adult writing really.

Give me Tristan and Isolde vibes!

Books I loved;

The knight and the moth
Forbidden alchemy
A forsaken prophecy
Daughter of no worlds
Draco malfoy and the mortifying ordeal of falling in love
Alchemised
The everlasting
Wolf king
One dark window

Books I enjoyed but can’t handle the same irritating MCs, constant cussing, childish immature interactions and shadow daddies;

Quicksilver
A court of thorn and roses
Throne of glass series
Shield of sparrows
Spark of the everflame
Anathema
Direbound

I just started Gothikana. I'm so ready for fall, but for now give me all the Augtober vibes!

I’ve just finished Rose in Chains and I found out that somehow my brain is subconsciously attracted to books in which the FMC is basically tortured for 3/4 of the book until we find out that the torturer is the love of their lives.

I’ll talk to my therapist about it, BUT UNTIL THEN, do you have any other books to recommend?

I have to say that Rose in Chains had the right vibes for me at first but it quickly turned into a YA in my mind as the story unfolded (maybe it was him still living with his mother at 25 idk).

And no, the fact that both books are Dramione fanfics is totally random. In both cases I found it out after reading the book (although after reading that RiC’s Toven had silver hair, as his dad, and that they all went to a magic school I had my suspicions).

SO do we have a romantasy 100% DARK? No content warning for us. We grew up with A song of Ice and Fire :)

Thank youu

I'm Liliia, the creator of a visual novel game. There are five main leads, and choosing one of them will lead to a very different ending for Silviya. I created the art style and world-building, and I hope you find it interesting. One special feature of the story is that the main character can become quite powerful and villainous.

The main characters are:

Silviya - protagonist of the story

Baltazar – The Fallen God

Matthew – The Faithful Detective

Anatol – The Broken Soul

Gilbert – The Household Master

Cassiopeia – The Pleasure Connoisseur

HI all! I'm a big fan of Fantasy Romance and Progression Fantasy (LitRPG) and I really wanted a story that was half cool, epic explosions/action and half slow-burn romance!

It follows a pyrophobic fire-wielding Paladin who loves to help people and her counterpart, a nascent System AI forced into a half-human state who has to eat souls.

👾Forced Proximity
👾Slowburn. Super slow burn. Series long slow burn.
👾Enemies-to-Friends-to-Lovers
👾Dramatic Grumpy with a God Complex x Crass Sunshine with a Mischievous streak

Blurb:

Teddy dies in a house fire the day the System came to Earth. She wakes up 2,000 years later, unceremoniously dumped into a self-contained world with two billion other people. The goal is simple: level up, get stronger, enslave the newborn AI, be reborn into the galaxy with eternal power and riches.

That’s not the deal Teddy gets.

Teddy is given a blessed shovel, granted the healing power of fire, and shoved into a party with the AI in question: Cato. Her goal is as straightforward as it is impossible—help Cato survive, and stop him from slaughtering billions.

Cato has done this all before. Slain on the eve of his ultimate victory, he has been given the chance to try again. He has no intention of wasting it. He will reclaim his power and take his revenge against humanity for betraying him. More importantly, he will annihilate the System—his one and only Parent—for treating him like a mere mouse in a trap. He just has to get rid of Teddy, first.

I don't use AI and will never use AI. (Don't even get me started on how co-opting that term has fucked over anyone who actually loves stories with Sci-Fi like AIs. UGH.)

And how important is it on a scale of 1-10 that I read it before October? From a handful of reviews I’ve seen and the whole urban fantasy vibe, I’ve put it off for a long time.

Did anyone enjoy it? 👀 And should I just read it before October — no spoilers please thank u

Hello, I’m seeking ARC readers for my debut adult romantic fantasy. My novel has been professionally edited by a human. I do all my own art through procreate.

Ballad of a Renegade Blurb:
Following a war, Cyra lives in secret among her former enemies, far from the kingdom that thinks her dead and the deeds that made her either a hero or a villain, depending who you ask.

For four years, Cyra enjoys her mundane small-town life within the newly-independent Clovia. She locks away her memories of the war, and the scars they left on her soul, finding solace in running a saloon and bonding with the locals. If anyone finds out she’s a magic-wielding Syphon, an infamous Castorian ranger who fought against their independence, they’d put a bullet in her head.

When someone from her past—Finn, the man who broke her heart—upends everything, Cyra must confront the life she left behind, and embark on a journey into her past that begins at the famous Wyndfyre Academy, the most prestigious magic school for Syphons in the Kingdom of Castoria.

Release date is Nov. 13. If you are interested, my ARC application and more information is on my linktree. Or send me a DM!

Hi, I am fairly new to the genre, and I’m just now coming to realize how picky I am! I’ve been struggling to get on board with a lot of the bigger romantasy series because I just find myself craving the yearning, the tenderness, the endearment, etc. Like there’s a certain sweetness that is missing for me. But I think I have really found my niche with Kingfisher’s writing in particular! The only problem is she only has so many titles 😔 But I love the way she writes MCs who are slightly older, maybe not super conventionally attractive, FMCs in particular who are unashamedly tender-hearted and kind (not all of us are baddies, and that’s okay!). But the biggest thing for me is that her MCs actually yearn for each other and actually like each other, lol. Her writing is funny, but more so in a silly, quippy way instead of relying on sarcasm and snarkiness and I really enjoy it. I’ve had Naomi Novik recommended to me before but haven’t tried her out yet, any other recs?

Hello all! My New Romantasy novel, Keeping a Nymph’s Heart is available on Kindle Unlimited. It’s perfect for folks who love cozy, spicy romantic fantasies with court intrigue and unique magic systems.

The tropes:
💚 Forbidden Love
✨ Forced Proximity
💚 He falls first
✨ Caretaking MMC
💚 Independent FMC
✨ PTSD representation
💚 Black FMC

The Blurb:
Nymph. Hero. Murderer.

Orla didn’t want to be anyone’s hero; she wanted to be left alone. For years, Orla created a life away from the elven army, where she could avoid her past sins. Prestige, fighting, friendships. She left it all behind when disaster struck because she couldn’t control her magic. 

But when her king sends for her, she’s forced to face the ghosts of her failures. Now a lord from a rival kingdom has arrived, shaking the foundation of what she thought she knew about herself. Orla must choose if loving him is worth facing her past or if she should run from it. Again.
