So I’ll be honest I started reading erotica when I was 12, thanks wattpad. Obviously I had no business doing that. However none that I’m older I’m able to recognize that a lot of romance books today are only popular because of the sex in them and not the plot. The plots are absolutely horrible. For example I once saw a dark romance book in which the mmc slaughtered the family of the fmc yet he smiled at her and asked if she was OK and of course she fell for him. Everyone in the comments was just swooning over it too.
It’s genuinely concerning. There’s definitely layers to this but woman should not be finding men who assualt, yell, cheat, or abuse the fmc as romantic. I feel like calling it dark romance is just a disservice to dark romance. There is nothing romancing about someone putting a gun inside your vagina.
I used to live reading romance books. But I prefer to read manwhas and romance Mangas now. Or I’ll just read non-fiction.
Personally, I think there is nothing to talk about.If people want and enjoy reading that type of book, that’s their business. I’m not gonna lie. I read these, and it’s just a bit of fun. I am old enough to know that the men in dark romance need to stay in the books and not someone I would want in the outside world.
