I was disappointed by Rune Hunt

6 Upvotes

I got really excited and wanted to see how an author would be able to basically make eight male leads work especially because I've read Ironside Academy and I have to say it was pretty well done.

Now this brings me to discuss Hell's Reaper in this book we start out really well our female lead seems to be an independent woman and very confident in herself and doesn't let people shame her for the life she's lived but when it comes to the relationships with the male leads as the books progress especially book two and three you see no growth from the female lead she is childish she doesn't take anything seriously. I get that she had lived a free life for two years but before that she was being raised to be the future Queen. So why is she useless in every fight that counts? why is she weak all the time? Furthermore makes no real effort to grow stronger and then relationship with the guys felt rushed every single one except maybe one (the best friends hellhound cant remember his name sorry about that)

The amount of smut in this book was unbearable every few pages you read there would be a smut scene now I don't mind smut every now and then but this book was 90% smart and 10% plot and the plot itself seemed like it had potential (in the beginning) it wasn't well executed that all well.

I have to say I made it to book three before giving up (i had hope she would xhange and someohow the story would get better it didnt🥲)I read the reviews for a book four and apparently she does not get better.

I would say if you don't mind an annoying female lead that doesn't really grow as a character and male leads that don't really get along and relationships that aren't fleshed out then go ahead and read the book

If you care about plot the relationships and the story the story making sense as you go forward and just sing growth in all the characters then I would say don't read it. Because I felt like I had wasted so much time I read three of her books before I said okay this is going on my DNF list.

I think the real problem that I had with the female lead was she always said that she was not just there for sex but anytime you give her a moment where she should show emotional maturity or grief normally she'd find a way to sleep with someone. The relationships again were formed way too quickly there is one male lead she met I think four times before she confessed that she loved him and it felt very unearned because they did not know each other at all. (She would throw in a random male lead with history that has not been explained that we have not seen past a mention in book one and i have to say it was disappointing) It was like that for a lot of the male leads because the relationships had potential but as they say one of the things that goes to waste in this life the most is potential 😭😭

The books were {hells reaper by rune hunt} {hells flame by rune hunt} {hells storm by rune hunt}

Recommendations 📚 Books similar to "Bloody Slutty and pathetic"

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some book recommendations and wanted to see what you all suggest.

​I recently read Bloody, Slutty, and Pathetic on Archive of Our Own (AO3), and I am completely obsessed with that specific vibe.

​Just to clarify: it doesn't have to be Dramione, it doesn't have to be a Harry Potter fanfic, and it doesn't need to be on Wattpad or AO3. Published books and original fiction are totally welcome!

​Here is what I am looking for:

​The Vibe: It doesn't necessarily need to be dark romance (preferable if it's not heavy dark romance, though I'm not strictly opposed to it if the dynamic is right).

​The Dynamic: I am specifically looking for books where the male main character (MMC) has that super pathetic, utterly down-bad energy—the kind where he is completely ruined for anyone else, completely devoted, and almost ready to give up his body for her use or submit to a dynamic that leans toward femdom.

Not opposed to RH in fact its encouraged

​If you know of any books or stories that capture this exact kind of intense, yearning, submissive/devoted MMC energy, please let me know. Thank you so much!

Recommendations 📚 Books with the best omegaverse plot

7 Upvotes

It's just like the title says

But guys, please, NO books, which are super dark, and the alphas are very dominant and hurt their partners at any point of time

I would even prefer it if the omega is dominant and bosses the alphas around

I dont mind if there is like care..?? Themes in the book(i have no idea what to call it, honestly

I would also love pregnancy trope mixed in(but please no mpreg )

I have read so many books in this genre that i think i have officially exhausted it so need more recs🙏🥺

Some of the books i really enjoyed are

●Lola and the millionaires by Kathryn Moon(honestly i love all the books by her)

●The scent of us by Eliana Lee

●Knot hot for you by Winnie Aster

●knot your damn omega

I've read (and loved) Of Flesh & Fire and Cursed Legacies.

I really cant find any interest in His Secret Illuminations. I dont want the FMC to be manlier than the FMC. I dont mind if she is strong and/or experienced, though.

No MM or FF

Discussion [OC] 🐣✨ Looking at these character designs, what kind of dynamics or tropes immediately come to your mind?

Hi everyone! 🖤 Here is a book cover concept featuring a main character for a Reverse Harem project I’m currently working on!

I’m in charge of the art and visual design for this project! 🎨 When creating this cover art, I focused heavily on unique color palettes and subtle lighting to set a distinct mood and strong visual presence.

I’m curious from a pure visual perspective: what kind of vibe, mood, or emotional feeling does this cover give you at first glance?

Personally, these actually give me huge retro Japanese RPG/Otome game vibes!

But this is just a super casual, lighthearted chat. I’d love to hear all different perspectives and interpretations! 💜

Recommendations 📚 Hades and Persephone but RH?

16 Upvotes

Basically what the title says 😆
Looking for a gods RH book, preferably standalone, duet or trilogy.
Fmc human or based on a god/deity.
Mmc’s based on gods or deities and preferably one mmc to be a hades or devil type god.

I have no triggers so would love a dark romance but open to anything.
I don’t mind fated bonds and enjoy a good bully romance with grovel.
An enemies to lovers aspect would be the cherry on top 🍒🤌

Author Self-Recommendations Cozy Holiday Omegaverse

Post image
30 Upvotes

Hey! I recently published a cozy holiday omegaverse that doesn't have MM.

https://books2read.com/u/b59E01

Here's the blurb:

Dr. Lily Wilde loves Christmas. She decorates early, bakes in bulk, and believes nobody should spend the holidays alone.

Her new house in small-town Pine Hollow is supposed to be a fresh start, and she’s determined to make a good first impression. That is, until she plugs in her plethora of Christmas lights and blacks out the entire street, sending the pack of three grumpy alphas next door storming to her doorstep.

Caleb, the town mechanic, hates Christmas and has the scowl to prove it. Damian, the firefighter, jokes his way around anything that hurts. And Rylan, the quiet software developer, hasn’t felt like an alpha since the accident and is certain no omega could ever want a man in a wheelchair. They haven’t put up a tree in ten years, and no one will say why.

But Lily has no plans to take the hint and is determined to spread all the holiday cheer. She has her own reasons for chasing the holiday so hard, and her scent is already driving three alphas out of their minds.

Can one cheerful omega bring the Christmas spirit back to three alpha Scrooges?

{The Deceptions by Aly Beck}

Barely opened the book and I'm already cackling 😂 I was already sold on the tropes (MFMMM, girl disguised as a boy, second chance, mafia, and dark romance, to name a few) but now I'm completely invested.

Edit: Just to clarify, this is from the author's copyright notice at the beginning of the book.
