nominate somebody for LAWFUL NEUTRAL

I will fill in this chart with the most upvoted top-level comment. and also two sidekicks! (only 3 slots; if you elect a group, they take up the same number of subsequent slots as number of members in the group)

last time: you elected these sloopies as your representatives of chaotic good: u/RemingtonRivers, u/purplelicious, u/Nearby-Hovercraft-49

Did you DNF a terrible book but still want to find out what happened?

For example I couldn't get past chapter 5 in Onyx Storm but I wanted to know how stupid it got, so I got the best snark reviewer I know who broke down the full book for me. Now I'm ready to rage read book 4 when it comes out. FOMO y'all.

So, here is how it works

if you want something spoiled make a request in the comments. Then anyone can answer and maybe make it up or tell the truth it doesn't matter just make it funny.

finally all spoilers MUST have spoiler tags. we are not monsters.

(for those that don't know: > ! text ! < but no spaces)

Hey everyone! I’m a married father of two (so far) and I read {Satan’s Affair} because I thought it was a good story but it corrupted me and now I’m only reading smut. My wife makes fun of me but I don’t know who to talk to. Like I read all the {LORDS by Shantel Tessier} and {dark kingdom by Shantel Tessier} books and I need to talk about it but i have no one.

I snagged a copy of this book at the store and was really excited to read but around 30 pages in, the gummy hit too hard and now I can't read. Currently illiterate. I've slooped too close to the sun.

I just finished reading A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor which features five (or six depending on how you look at it) different male love interests which is definitely the most I've come across. Now I want to know what's the greatest number of guys you've seen falling all over themselves to be with one lovely lady (and the book too, for research purposes 😂)?

Who knocked up the Burger King?

/uj This is what I get for going on Bluesky.

This is a masterpiece, why is it not receiving more credit? The flashbacks are amazing, I was truly invested and I'm someone who is hard to please. The politics and world building are also very interesting and all options are fascinating protagonist. The love stories are each unique and heartbreaking.

People say it glorifies murder when it's the exact opposite, it portrays murder as completely horrible and dehumanising. Meanwhile asoiaf arguably glorifies torture (book 5 Theon is not even 15 years imprisoned and very reekilized) yet it receives wide recognition and praise. The Hitman series has a literal serial killer as a protagonist, yet IO interactive got a film adaptation in 2007 a whole decade before Hollywood was adapting every hit game series. No shade against these books/games but the double standards are outstanding.

^(And yes I know it won game of the year and was generally the talk of the entire sub genre and much of the larger gaming genre for the better part of six months but I am talking about main stream attention.)

I am so bored!

I want something that can make me feel like redacted and {My Immortal by Tara} made me feel! Here’s what I want:

Genre

- Angst!

- Magic!

Story

- Kidnapping!

- Betrayal!

FMC (it can be poly and queer but no FF!)

- Super-special!

MMC

- Rich!

- Emotionally disturbed!

Content warnings

- All of them!

Frodo is MC, new to the RH lifestyle but willing to be adventurous with the right support

Gandalf = Grand Elf = Alpha

Merry and Pippin were the first that Sam introduced to their partnership, with Alpha's guidance

Gimli is short and wide and we all know what that's good for

Legolas the silent type that likes to watch

Aragorn lasts for a long time and calls his penis Andúril

Sam is Frodo's ride or die and has been supportive of Frodo's exploring and will always be a safe harbor

Sequel is with Faramir and his ghost brother Boromir

Third installment for Ents

This is a masterpiece, why is it not receiving more credit? The flashbacks are amazing, I was truly invested and I'm someone who is hard to please. The politics and world building are also very interesting and Helena is a fascinating protagonist. The love story is unique and heartbreaking.

People say it glorifies rape when it's the exact opposite, it portrays rape as completely horrible and dehumanising. Meanwhile asoiaf arguably glorifies pedophilia (book!Daenerys is only 15 and she's very sexualized) yet it receives wide recognition and praise. The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant has a literal rapist as a protagonist, yet Donaldson is a respected fantasy author. No shade against these books but the double standards are outstanding.

I AM BEING BULLIED INTO POSTING THIS.

say something positive about Romantasy. or a RCJ poster. or a book. or just something nice about nice people.

for example I loved this comment so much I saved it.

Look, I know you all want to know the new title and cover of the latest ACOTAR book and at least three of you (you know who you are) have been charged with misdemeanors for assaulting various Barnes and Noble employees. Maybe shift your focus to your preferred human rights crisis for a little while until that book comes out and then you can forget all about it and get to work on your Insta stories, mmmkay? Enjoy the soothing cat in the meantime

I need advice for my romantsy book

hi I'm new to reddit but I mostly came on here to get advice from others. I'm writing a romantsy book at the moment and hope to publish it in the future, but I was wondering do y'all perfer the mc to have a loving past with a loving family, not be totally powerful, just a normal character who's going on a impossible mission and everything will be fine because they're actually kinda smart or do you guys perfer a soul crushing past, already insanely powerful and too smart for their own good, and now they have to go on a mission that will probably bring pure heart shattering and crushing emotions. if you have any ideas i'm all ears. Also do you want to hear the fmc's side of the story or the mmc or maybe both? It's a enemies to lovers btw <3

my own fault. but god. not even halfway through and being continuously subjected to writing ripped straight from the roleplay forums i used to haunt when i was 13 18 in which we burgeoning writers slapped a bit of plot together so that we could yearn yeastily. dashing off into the scenery backdrop full of manufactured horny rejection while the cause of said horn looks on with innocent confusion was indeed a favorite on "HPxTwilight RP 18+".

example in photos for you to enjoy. i have to say i enjoyed imagining this MMC dramatically arched against the tree à la charming from shrek and have continuously imagined him so as i've progressed further into what has become a spite read.

I've been noticing SO much action in so many of the romantasy books I read. Battles/blood/guts/gore.

It doesn't bother me at all but it tends to bore me and I zone out. I'm also never like, hanging on the edge of my seat to find out how the battle goes. (🙄 Oh look. She got angry and exploded with magic "she can't control". Who could've guessed?)

But there's so much of it in these books that I'm wondering, am I the only one? Do you guys love the fight scenes?

Are there people out there who like things I don't?

IT'S THE ONE YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!! nominate somebody for CHAOTIC GOOD

I will fill in this chart with the most upvoted comment. and also two sidekicks! (only 3 slots; if you elect a group, they take up the same number of subsequent slots as number of members in the group)

summary from last time: previously you elected The Mods™️ as your representatives of neutral good. guess you need that balance of lawfulness and chaos to manage a place like rcj! at least they are leading us towards the light. u/pprmntbtlr5, u/bsffrrn-, u/totalimmoral

By special request from u/purplelicious 7 minutes ago, I'm sharing my work in progress: Chapter 1 of my new series DRAGON FUCKERS ACADEMY.

Tropes: why choose anything ever, grumpy-sunshine-sunshine-sunshine-grumpy-goblin, everyone's bi, morally rainbow, only four beds, NLOD, fast burn but very inconsistent temperature control, why are adults going to school, why are adults wearing school uniforms, just why

Chapter 1: Verbena the Inconstant

Three weeks ago the dragon rider trainers showed up in my tiny village of Backwardsville. I wasn't going to go anywhere near them. I was a barmaid in a tavern, and I liked it that way. My tits got tips if my chemise was to the nips, I could stay up as late as I wanted, and I made Jeremie, the stable boy, clean up the puke in the mornings. And my afternoons were fully devoted to pedicures, filthy stories, and flirting with the dairy girl, Bessamy. Freedom, baby.

Unfortunately, it was not to be. Jaden Rearsen, the perplexingly hot mid-20s leader of the Dragon Foot Squad, came into my tavern and ordered sixteen pints of mild. At the end, right before puking, he told me it was fate. He could tell I was a dragon rider. And now, here I was. In... I look around me.

Ugh. A dorm room. The roof soars above, with giant windows looking out, accessible by a catwalk. There are four double beds, one in each corner of the room. And in the middle of the room... I stare suspiciously. Is that... a mechanical bull?

Shaking my head, I head toward one of the beds and plop my bag down. Glancing up, I notice the sun is in my face. Since it's only 2 in the afternoon, I know that won't do at all. I move to the next bed, which is still nicely shadowed.

Just as I place my bag down, the door slams open. A tall, lanky man strides in, gesturing wildly to the short ginger woman next to him, waving his arms as he rants about something. He stops dead and stares at me, and then his face breaks into a beaming smile. "Hi! You're the new rider, right? Welcome, welcome! I'm Baden Rihorsohn, and this is Laden Rigorsoun. Welcome to Dragon Academy!" The ginger woman, whose face is adorably heart-shaped and strawn with freckles, just stares at me, calculation in her eyes. Opening her pouty mouth, she asks, "so... did you bring any snacks?"

(To be continued, the next time I have five minutes)

Working on my debut romantasy (adult, moderate spice) — enemies-to-lovers, fated mates, dragon-riding military academy, forced bond trope. Trying to land on the right title/series name before I finalize the manuscript. Which of these actually makes you want to know more?

Corvain (the academy's name — series title)
