Why Romantasy Books Are So Disappointing Now

Romantasy (fantasy romance) is my favorite genre to read, and to write, as an aspiring author. And it’s not just a personal favorite; it’s one of the most beloved genres in the reading community, especially on BookTok, where it has propelled authors to unprecedented levels of success.But, recently , many readers have started to notice a decline in the overall quality of Romantasy books. This growing conversation is what inspired me to make this video and explore why this is happening in a genre that has given us some truly incredible stories.In this video, I explain the main criticisms surrounding Romantasy today, discuss the current problems within the genre, and suggest three key changes that could help improve the quality of future releases.Of course, these are just my opinions, we all have different opinions, I hope you enjoy the video!

Love Triangles Are Getting Worse. And No One's Talking About It.

Love triangles have been quite popular for a while now especially in mainstream media, we find them in many popular books, movies, and shows old and new like Twilight, The Vampire Diaries, and The Summer I Turned Pretty. But the fact that they're popular doesn't mean they're always good. In fact, in my opinion, we have seen many bizzare love triangles recently, and there are many things wrong with them that I discuss in this video essay. Some things I talk about is the main problems with modern love triangles, how they make the main character seem so unlikeable and indecisive, and I also give some ways to fix them and make them better!Of course, these are just my opinions, we all have different opinions, I hope you enjoy this video!📌 Subscribe for more deep dives, character/storytelling analysis, and videos on music, movies, and books!

So Apparently...Reading is A Competition Now?

I personally love BookTok, it has brought readers and bookish creators together, helped people share books they loved and general book recommendations with each other, opened new doors for so many authors and turned their stories into massively popular books, and changed the publishing industry for the better. But, at the same time, it did participate in shifting the reading culture completely, turning reading from a comforting hobby into somewhat of a competition. In this video, I discuss why with why this is happening, the negative effects it has on both readers and authors, and how we can stop making reading a competition and start reading for ourselves again.Of course, these are just my opinions, we all have different opinions, I hope you enjoy this video!📌 Subscribe for more deep dives, character/storytelling analysis, and videos on music, movies, and books!

The Dark Side of BookTok We NEED To Talk About

I have always loved BookTok, especially when I rejoined the reading community a few years back. I saw it as such a fun space where we could all share our favorite books, find a book club through the platform, get reading recommendations from trusted creators, and have a community of readers we could connect with and discuss books with. But just like a lot of online spaces, BookTok has its downsides, ones we need to be aware of in order to keep the reading community alive and support authors in the BookTok space as best as we can. In this video, I talk about five of those downsides in hopes of shining a light on them so we can shift the space in a more positive direction and keep the reading experience and keep the reading experience genuinely fun for all of us!Of course, these are just my opinions, we all have different opinions, I hope you enjoy this video!📌 Subscribe for more deep dives, character/storytelling analysis, and videos on music, movies, and books!
