For example, Rent a Girlfriend, Yes, Problematic. Indeed. Still, Not as problematic as your Average Colleen Hoover Book.

and when I say that what I mean is that Anime can be somewhat toxic but it's toxicity has nothing on a Novel like Haunting Adeleine. Compared to that, even some of the most Toxic of Toxic Animes have NOTHING like if there were a Scale of Toxcitiy the world of NOVELS is just getting worse and worse. Meanwhile, Anime toxicity depends on what you're watching and is nowhere near as toxic.

Like I said, I'm not accustomed to getting my Fix of Romance from the Literary world. The animes I watch and stuff for it, even if they aren't PERFECT even if there isn't a complete and total lack of toxicity, it's the relative nature of things that sent me fleeing for sanctuary. I was so tired of men like Edward Cullen, controlling as fuck. Abusive.

Further, the women writing the shitty books that BookTok is promoting barely seem to understand that abuse isn't defined merely as Physical Abuse. It's as though unless he's beating her, she's not being abused, but that isn't true at all.

One feminist to another, I very strongly disagree with Jezebel's article saying the whole problem with Booktok is the Algorithm, not the Books they're recommending. It's both. The shit they've been peddling is all the most TOXIC romances possible. Forget "Taboo" You can be taboo as fuck without having to explore and put women in every conceivable type of abusive relationship.

The thoughts come later...agghh... I'm one of those people who reads something like this and then later starts to digest the information internally. 24 ounces of semen is a lot. Excessive. lol...agh. I've hated Booktok since it's inception, maybe though, just maybe now that i've read this one i'll find a nice corner of it.

But y'know, reading that monster romance was definitely me branching out. Feeling adventurous.

For the record, as long as I exist, I am a colleen hoover hater. I think Colleen Hoover has some serious Internalized misogyny, and it's completely unexamined.

While I love romance, I don't usually GET my romance b y way of the literary world owing to the trends in recent years. I would go for it by way of Movies or Anime and Those cringing it's like Shoujo Romances are awesome. I'm 30 episodes deep into Nana and considering the Manga. But Twilight and then 50 shades of gray and then Colleen hoovers popularity have taught me to AVOID literary romance.

I hate dark romance. When I Read that, I think hrm, romance in a dark setting? A dark fantasy world? But nope. It's all just toxic, abusive relationships. I hate that bullshit. I read a romance to escape. Not to explore painful experiences.

Almost done.

Its hilarious to me that I read this on a sunday when other people would be at church of all days.

What a wonderful way to kill a Sunday morning as I wait for Tuesdays meeting with out financial advisors. I'm also laughing my ass off, So many other people are at church, and here I am reading this spicy smutty romance novel instead of paying homage to baby jesus.

As I near the half way point of this book it dawns on me that i've never read a romance novel before because I got cliff notes from other people on books like Colleen Hoovers and I fucking hate romanticized abuse. I watch romance movies I do romance anime but novels? This is my first.

spicy and wholesome? lord have mercy. At least it's not colleen hoover.. hoof-ur

I can't believe I'm a man reading this.

Yes, I'm having an extremely smutty book read to me. I'm an Atheist, BTW. There's no god up in the sky! so I do not feel degenerate or anything I just feel curious and amused. I do not feel like I am letting my non existentt sky daddy down.

Not only am I reading it, I'm having it read to me by the Narrator. I'm wondering what her nationality is.
