Fmcs in dark romance are held at a weridly higher standards than "morally grey"mmcs ?.
​
I love dark romance but divding into the genre . I find that a lot of readers can be werid when it comes to women. How the hell can a person sits down anaylze a book and say that the mmc is morall gray and misunderstood but in reality he is just a bad person who ended up getting a redemption arc(Which I dont mind I love a good redemption) But whom somtimes by the way cost the fmcs a lot of tramua. Then women are expected to always be emotionally intellgeint ,forgiving all the damn time and have the prefect tramua response.
If the mmcs have tramua and he loves her ,she should automatically accept him while she is also dealing with her tramua but guess what after being rape as well doesnt give them a right to be a bitches but men having rapey behaviours are forgiving 🙄.
.....Like little stranger Fmc olivia ,I like her even though I side eye a bit and ashytn ,ashytn in her book caranage makes sense why she makes the decisions she makes ,ashytn later on is a different story and also stacey ,her character told me that lot of people really dont understand mental health.
