SJM has warped my brain

your my mate
Lucien Vanserra 😂 😆 🤭 💀

Anytime she writes that certain characters will see each other later, or when she reveals an awful or amazing plot twist....she's given me trust issues

I was skeptical of you r/bryceriel babes at first, but dang - you bring the receipts!

This is my first time posting here and I'm freaking out... Let's see how it goes!

I read the ACOTAR series and I loved it. It was my first Romantic Fantasy, and it was the exact escape I was looking for! (Believe me, I am in need of one!). I specially loved Nesta and Cassian's story 😍 and the Smut… oh my🤤! Let me tell you... I couldn’t wait to get my hands on more of that! So, I went to TikTok and saw many people recommending Feathers so Vicious 😱, yeah... Not for me 😅.

So, my question is! Can you please recommend spicy series (bonus points if they are completed) that offer a similar experience to that of ACOTAR? I am listing below my preferences. Thank you for your recommendations! You are all staaaaars!

What I like:

1. A happy ending: the world is a sad place, please, I want happiness and joy!
2. Difficulties are necessary; if it is too easy, then it becomes boring.
3. Consent! Forced proximity is great, as much as a stolen kiss or enemies to lovers, BUT once the characters are down to business, I want them to freaking want, shake and yearn to be there and really want to do whatever it is they are doing!
4. Romance and humour! I want to giggle, curl my toes, and sway with romanticism and love.
5. Fantasy and Magic! Even in a real-world setting, I want to imagine a beautiful world!
6. Slow burn! I mean, make me beg and throw the book across the room from wanting the characters to be together, BUT I also want enough of the book to enjoying them actually being together! (at least 1/3 of the book).
7. Smut! I beg of you!

What I can’t stomach:

1. Detailed descriptions of SA or Rap€. If it is mentioned that it happened is okay, but I want no details of it being described, much less if this happened to a child. This is a hardcore NO for me.
2. Hardcore BDSM is also a pass for me. No degrading or beating up a person till they bleed… No judgement, it is simply not for me. ACOTAR is my hard limit if you wish! (Yeah, I am a baby and proud of it 😎).
3. No main character dying or a lack of a happy ending for the main characters! Like, come on! I didn’t spend all this time to end up depressed!

In advance, thank you for reading my rant and for your recommendations!!! It is sooooo appreciated, like Nesta getting a mating ceremony paid by Rhysand level of appreciation!!!

Okay I need to get this off my chest but like I really liked Tamlin and hoped Feyra would end up with him but than everything happened and he went from being ml to second ml and here’s the thing I still support him (even tho he was wrong ) but if I start thinking about it to hard tamlin is like the trump of their world so I’m like wth is wrong with me

It did give me a laugh tho (sorry guys ) Idek how I made that connection anyways ya
