What am I in for?
>>
literally every other romance novel written by a woman
>oh i'm a boring, down to earth girl who hates guys every girl loves especially this Chad here who I'm forced to hang around because of some retarded situation and he totally won't fall for a plain girl like me
>>
>>24847802
Is that Kyle Ron and Ray from the new Star Wars movies?
>>
Give me one good reason why I should not use AI to write smut and make a fat pile of dough. The retarded bitch who wrote this probably made millions from that book alone.

Cruch the fucking numbers, this shit is insane. The minotaur milking book that went viral last year probably made the author something like 4 million bucks.
>>

I actually read the milk farm book last week because I kept seeing it mentioned here. Then I found out that some friends went to a book fair (or fest, 2nd language sorry) where people were raving about it. So when I saw that it’s less than 300 pages and that my evening had no better plans in store, I went for it.

It is every bit as bad as one can expect, but funnily enough, it made me ask myself the exact same thing. Could I pull a Rina Kent, make bank, then just chill?

(For context Rina Kent is some deranged writer who’s in the “dark romance” department - aka she dedicates the books to “the girls who love bastards” and has like rape and necrophilia in the novels iirc - at the same time no one knows who she is so me personally i think she’s a he)

I think there’s some vanity in me because the main problem that I see with it right now is whether I’d be able to live with it afterwards.

But the more I think on it, we don’t owe each other nothing in this life, so if shallow people wanna see someone suck off a centaur (cause if you ask me, I like those better than minotaurs) and there’s money to be made, fuck it and fuck them.

unless you're a woman or a tranny, the publisher most likely will pass on you

/lit/ may not want to hear it but she's objectively the most talented author alive today. Seeing moderate success in writing your niche autistic commentary on some forgotten Greek philosopher is easy you dont have any competition. Rising to the top of a competitive field like romantic novels actually requires talent.

This premise is a symbol of matriarchy. Glorified sexual assault. Women taunting you with how they're privileged to commit infinite debauchery while men are castrated for existing. Cast it into the fire.
>>
>>24848075
I want your centaur fellatio novel by next year.
>>
Women always close their eyes when they kiss and men always keep theirs open

Why?
>>
>>24848807
Is it talent or is it just luck? What makes this romance authoress better than all the other romance authoresses? Why was Daisy Ridley chosen to play Rey when there were literally thousands of other pretty but not too pretty actresses who could have played her just as well?
>>
>>24847966
>>24848075
The thing is there are millions of these crap books and only one in a million get lucky and catch on. Please don't add more slop to the world, just play the lottery instead.
>>
>>24848909
Probably because they put out for the right people, and then maybe blackmailed as a bonus incentive. There is no such thing as luck, it's just causes we don't understand and coinciding of events.

this is exactly the same as seeing a retarded video like hawk tuah going viral and thinking 'i'll make a retarded video and go viral too!' no way won't. you'll make a retarded video and be lost in the sea of 1 trillion retarded videos uploaded that day and get 7 views. you'll write smut equal and comparable to viral smut and get 20 sales after an aggressive ad campaign. the success has nothing - NOTHING - to do with the quality of product, of which there are, in the romance category, not thousands, not hundreds of thousands, but literally millions of near-indistinguishable works. unless you can market like audra winter - which isn't calculated but rather the culmination of narcissistic personality disorder and a planetary sized ego - luck is the be all, end all. so go ahead. write that shit if you want. you will never, ever make a buck from it.

Rey x Kylo fanfiction.
>>24848871
it's done in illustrations to show who wants it and who's surprised by it. In real life guys close their eyes too because it's weird staring into a girls eyes from 1 inch away.

Normie woman falls in love with autistic gigachad.
Light romcom. I liked it.
It gets spicy toward the end, albeit nothing exceptional.
>>
>>24847966
you are right but my sense of honor prevents me from doing it.
>>
>>24848648
So use a pen name and decline interviews.
>>
This was originally star wars fanfiction. Every single one of these romance books has the exact same style of cover, it's nauseating.
>>
>>24849103
>Normie woman falls in love with autistic gigachad.
She falls in love with a /fit/ user?
>>
>>24848909
That's cope because you're annoyed with her success.
I hate pop music, for example. Hate the stuff. But, if I listen to a pop artists latest album, its pretty obvious why the song that topped the charts did so, its got a catchy little hook or something.

Sloppa enjoyers are the harshest critics (see /tv/ capeshit and our SFFG threads) , their tastes may not be broad but they demand that their narrow set of beloved tropes be served up just-so.

You need to be an industry plant.

>its pretty obvious why the song that topped the charts did so, its got a catchy little hook or something.
But the question is why the jewish man who actually wrote the song and his record label chose that specific pop whore

Can we band together and create a romance-for-men literary renaissance. Writing romance books that piss off female readers; stories where inkwell losers get chased by stacy and naomi and get lots of head. Oh wait that's Murakami.
>>
>>24847802
The most intellectually exciting book of all time.
A woman struggling with the enigmas of energy conversion in mitochondrias in the hope of finding clues to stop aging is paired reluctantly with a microbiologist who spends all time trying to reverse engineer the original bacteria that became the mitochondria.
The woman's discomfort grows and grows till she snaps an esoteric insult that is a reference to Hegel's Phenomenology of the Spirit. The man, however, quips back by quoting Abhinavagupta, Spinoza and Joachim de Floris in one line.
The woman is annoyed, but her cunt moistens and opens.
The rest of the book is about the passive aggressive sexual tension that grows amidst biology and talks referencing such matters as postmodernism and Egyptian alchemy, cytology and astrology, hemifusomes and the relations between Onmyodo and analytic philosophy, until they finally fuck.
The love hypothesis is a kinda cheesy attempt to answer the symbiotic enigma of mitochondria within cells.
It will make your dick hard and your brain tumesce.
10/10.

You're talking about two different things, impressing the crowd and impressing a couple of people at a job interview.

I would agree that getting through the door is largely governed by chance. But whether the public likes you or not is not just dumb luck.
>>
>>24849855
I checked the synopsis to verify and this is bs, just so no one actually goes and reads this.

However,
>plot is about female PhD candidate dating a male professor at her institution
what the fuck? this would absolutely not fly ever under any circumstances
>>
>>24847823
>>oh i'm a boring, down to earth girl who hates guys every girl loves especially this Chad here who I'm forced to hang around because of some retarded situation and he totally won't fall for a plain girl like me
books like this but about an ordinary guy that some kinda troubled but not in a gross way hot woman falls in love with?
>>
>>24849015
I was afraid someone would say that because I can't rule it out and that makes me sad because she (Ridley) seems like a nice girl
>>24849629
I'm not annoyed at her success at all. But why did this particular piece of fan fiction slop get skimmed out of the slop bucket? Take Fifty Shades of Grey for instance: terribly written Twilight fan fiction. Made the author a multi-millionaire and a household name overnight. This wasn't the case of some kind of slop meritocracy operating, it was just blind luck.

any romcom manga
