I have had allot of convo here about novels preferences, most of them were into dark romance.
which is your fav novel?
Dark romance
Depends
A lot of women find dark romance unethical
Cus non consensual activities, which is shown a lot in dark romance, are disgusting and unethical
But there's some that do go for it and ey each to their own
dark werewolves with men that beat them but are secretly nice on the inside.
so they only leave 1 cigarette burn scar rather than 3.
A lot (most who like love tropes) of them like dark romance, it's weird imo
I likeee
