People in the comments are ripping on GR, but I've done some digging, and that prize winner received mixed reviews across multiple platforms. Audience reception isn't always an indicator of quality, and this seems to be a book for a very niche taste. And that's okay...
"After ACOSCH, there's zero chance Elriel will be endgame!"
Isn't that exactly what you guys said after the ACOSF bonus chapter? And yet, here we are.
They almost fucked while Azriel was actively trying to get away from your self-insert as fast as possible.
Please, our hashtag is literally #NoValkoNoMoney. Idc if you're playing, pulling, doing whatever you want as long as you're not spending, that's boycotting.
- Not playing, not spending = boycotting ✅️

I always love reading men's opinions on romantasy, a genre they often haven't even read. It's like me giving my opinion on LitRPG.
Tbh, read whatever the fuck you like, but don't come at us for actually putting our money where our mouths are and keeping the industry afloat.
“It's actually a good thing Azriel & Gwyn have no interest in each other yet, romantically or physically. We don't want an insta love, they will be a slow burn."
SJM literally has Azriel realise he mistook shared darkness for destiny with Mor, only to describe Elain as his salvation and his one chance at joy. And some of you are still using shared trauma as your biggest endgame argument?
I stand by what I say, women are constantly getting erased from the media and the stories centered around them, and even from the genre created by woman for women, because misogyny is so deeply rooted inside, and if woman fights back you call them homophobic for speaking up
Supply and demand.
There's plenty of fantasy and sci-fi outside romantasy that are aimed at men. Dungeon Crawler Carl, The Will of the Many, Bastion, The Blacktongue Thief, The Tainted Cup.
They exist. No librarian will tell a 16-year-old boy to read ACOTAR.
Boys: We want books about adventures, quests, and survival!
Librarians: May I interest you in some romantasy? It’s enemies to lovers with fairies!
Boys: *plays video games instead*
Or maybe everyone else actually fears losing their loved ones.
Rhysand loves his family, and imagine seeing your wife and child dead. I'd puke too. Meanwhile, Nesta's worst fear was abandonment.
Her fear revolves around how it would impact her...
