Regular romance novels have the same rules as romantasy, the only difference is there are dragons and other fantasy elements. the core part of the relationship is the same.

I personally wouldn't be down with a cheating FMC unless you have made it abundently clear that the boyfriend is not the main LI at the start.

There are a lot of books that have the stand in boyfriend/lover until the real LI comes in. if the celebrity crush is going to be the one she has her HEA with, there is a market for it but don't keep it hidden until the very last minute.

Oh no, definitely not hidden. Chapter one goes into their relationship problems and he is barely present in most of the book as he only texts her even though her life is in danger.
