which POV do you prefer? MC or FMC? I prefer MC.


message 2: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra (romancefrenzy) | 8 comments I like them both but I really like MMC because I guess it feels like you are getting a viewpoint you don't irl 🤷‍♀️

Unless you're a guy...


message 3: by Cécile (new)

Cécile Smits  | 24 comments Depends on what’s happening in the chapter.
I like to see what the one that’s in the centre of the action is thinking.


btw….i love your group rules,Misty!😂

I like that we're getting a diff POV that I'm not used to and then we get to hear more about the possessiveness and jealousy which I love.

Viv “BookVixen” Gutierrez I prefer MMC, but I also need the FMC pov to complete the story

Same. I prefer the MMC because I love to hear the possessive and sexy thoughts. I want to hear how completely obsessed and in love he is. I do like the FMC to throw a bit in there too so we can get an idea of what he looks like and his energy.

Exactly this! And also men tend to have less repetitive inner monologues

❃A.J❃  (bibliophagist) I like the pov of FMC better. It just feels more relatable and easier to understand you know.

Exactly!! For me, I already know what most women think!!! I need the sexy alpha man ready to lose his mind! Especially because I listen to a lot of audiobooks and nothing beats a sexy, growly voice in my ear!


message 21: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra (romancefrenzy) | 8 comments Oh yeah. I love that in audio books. I want to hear/read them absolutely losing it over a woman.


message 22: by Ana (new)

Ana Santos (teacher-ana-santos) | 5 comments When I said I “listen”, I actually don’t “listen”. I always read, but I listen to them in my head.😁


message 23: by crystal (new)

crystal (crystalx1f52ex1f344) | 2 comments it depends on what's happening. I like both. I think alot of the time I like MC more.

Thumbs up! (i'm too lazy to look up the HTML) I really like a combo but I find more often than not, authors do FMC POV only. Plus with audiobooks, which are my favorite, I prefer to listen to the male narrator whispering sweet nothings in my ear! LOL


message 25: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra (romancefrenzy) | 8 comments Oh yeah. I love a sexy voiced narrator


message 26: by eguls (new)

eguls I really like 3rd person because it means you can usually get to see what is going on in all the characters’ heads 🥸

Same here! One of my favorite books is Penmarric as 4 or 5 viewpoints.


message 36: by Jessie (new)

Jessie Lee (jayleetheninja) | 2 comments 100% MMC POV. I wanna hear all the possessive, jealous thoughts and know all the things that I think might run through a guys head, but also might not 😅 gimme gimme that MMC 🤗


message 37: by Hooked On (new)

Hooked On Romance | 4 comments I prefer to have the POV of both main character but having the MMC is definitely my favorite... especially if he is a moody, broody, OTT, possessive alpha male. 🔥🔥😘


message 38: by Amy (new)

Amy | 2 comments I’m good with either BUT only if the author is adept at writing a males perspective. Some just can’t do both. IMO anyways.

Agree. A book I just attempted to read had the MMC with just kindergarten sentences. You could tell they didn't know how to write from a male perspective.

Yeah, same with me. I love to have the male perspective. I think it adds depth to the story. But alot of authors can't pull it off. When they do, it's really great!
