any romantasy worth reading?
>>
I would have sex with her if presented with the opportunity to do so
>>
Why is half the catalogue nowadays just bait threads with mid bitches as the OP pic, this shit is so annoying.
>>
>>25530470
Read one and tell us, you fucking retard.
>>
>>25530470
No. There really isn't. They're all written the same way. First person POV, from the perspective of a woman who thinks she's smart but has the vocabulary of a high schooler. They're incredibly boring at best and will make you hate women at worst.
>>
>>25530509
ok. which one?
>>
Mostly the stuff that is normal fantasy with a romantic subplot that is mislabeled as romantacy for marketing reasons.

I have tried the stuff where romance is actually the main focus and it's mostly awful in every way.
It isn't even that I dislike romance, it's that the writing is bad, the characters are bad, the plots are bad, and the editing seems nonexistent. The vast majority reads like the first draft of a bad fanfic from a highschooler.
But for the main customer base the storytelling matters about as much as the storytelling in a hentai manga. It's just about emotional beats and melodrama. That is the only thing they care about. So the standards for everything else are absurdly low.
>>
Sometimes while I'm driving and I stop at a light I look around at all the mid but still totally fuckable women around and think, if this bitch had a youtube channel or something, some guy out there would convince himself he's uniquely attracted to her and she's uniquely attractive

Meanwhile to me she's some broad on the street, in a gaggle of 6 broads, standing partially in front of the broad I'd rather be looking at. Will never understand the waifu phenomenon

I suppose I am pretty intimidated to read Don Quixote after all this time. I just feel like either I'm not going to get it, or that it's going to be too hard or something in the first place. Like later Henry James, or something. I like the idea however, so I'll give it a go eventually.

Romantasy is an eyesekeye manga for wahmen

literally who cares? literature is the last medium where anybody cares about new shit.

dude, don quixote is one of the best selling and most translated novels in human history. its extremely pedestrian and deliberately written to be quite digestible by the common man
>>
>>25530516
>thinks she smart but has the vocabulary of a high schooler
So it's a realistic portrayal of women

>>25530470
Twilight if you're gay or a woman

>>25530494
ok /lit/ what are your thoughts on e-readers
>>
>>25530692
probably something to do with the fact that most guys who simp to streamers don't have the nerve to talk to any mid women irl. Their content is the only way they ever see a women looking at them and talking to them nicely.
I'm a moderately attractive dude and I do pretty well with women, I don't really succumb to the waifu phenomenon but there is something about the atmosphere of being online that is inherently lonely to me, even if I have friends to chat with. If I had no friends/never got girls and was maybe 2-3 10ths uglier I could almost see myself accepting that reality. I tried during covid to half ironically find a titty streamer to get into and I just couldn't do it, I don't have it in me. That said
>>25530470
who
also I would totally try a romantasy book just to fucking see. I hear it trashed on so much but I've never given it a shot. A lot of my favorite art exists in relatively low-brow spaces so even though it doesn't seem good to me I can't knock it til I try it

Is there romantasy dresden files?

No. I’m not even sure there’s romantasy not worth setting alight
>>
>>25532716
I can't even imagine the levels of cope you have to be on to simp for or imagine yourself as the object of affection of a woman whose job it is to whore out her affection to hundreds if not thousands or even tens of thousands of people. that isn't "loneliness", that is legit, full-on, break-from-reality levels of psychosis.

so not only is her job to be a whore, but even if you knew nothing about her job, you could tell just from looking at her that she's a slut. so the level of delusion needed to think she cares about you is even higher.
>>
>>25533829
I wonder what her favourite breed is
>>
>>25530470
The sex scenes for women are repetitive and unappealing to me as a man. It's very blow by blow, while at the same time being euphemistic. Some of them must have good plots, I didn't hate the actual story in Alchemised.
>>
>>25533072
It's because their outside doesnt match their inside. Very old trick.

stinky, sticky fingers

This girl isn't mid, but i get many of the points itt. She's Dutch. Dutch women are weird. Many of them seem to be autistic or just odd, but they're still pretty attractive overall. Compared to American women. There's got to be a catch. The simping could stop but i don't think men's standards can be changed. Guys aren't that picky when it comes to women.

She seems genuinely like a nice person, if she is somewhat intelligent and critical of the world around her she would probably make a great gf/wife and mom.
She seems balanced.

any actual recommendations??
>>
>>25538758
My friend's gf made him read A Court of Something and Whatever, he said it sucked.

The only thing I'd recommend is Gone with the Wind because it actually dares to have an unrepentantly horrible protagonist that has to suffer through some shit, much because of her own horrible decisions. I find that type of actual agency and reconciliation with being a shit person is far above anything modern romance authors could write, it's all self-insert bullshit for Beckies.

Leonie used to be my classmate back in 2009. She was a weird emo/scene girl and clearly autistic so she got bullied a lot and was an outsider that didn't fit in in any group not even the misfits where I belonged. She was also very annoying and pretentious in an attention seeking way.

It's forever funny to me that there are simps here that thinks she is attractive. She is considered undesirable in the Netherlands, but I guess for incels a woman being undesirable and thus "attainable" is a feature, not a bug.
>>
>>25540733
Dutch women would be perfect if they weren't so tall and didn't have the horrible accent.
>>
>>25540733
She was like 12 in 2009.

>>25540750
Yeah, that's when we begin high/secondary school.

"Fourth Wing" is a Pern knockoff with a hilariously bad worldbuilding.

>bad worldbuilding
Who fucking cares.
>>
>>25540733
I am not sure what you're doing here, being such a massive normie faggot.

People that look good but do not fit in are usually the most desirable people, because they feel more genuine and have less exposure to normie bullshit, like partying, sucking cock and cunt every week, drinking, being loud and tattooeed, just being annoying in general.

This particular girl may be a retard but she is not like the average girl, and even looks above average so she is definitely desirable compared to the average western whore.

It's written to make women coom, not admire the worldbuilding.
