It is no secret that romance novels are devoured by millions of readers around the world. These stories of love, passion, and adventure have been captivating hearts for centuries. And while some may write off romance as nothing more than trashy escapism, there are actually many good reasons why you should give these books a chance.

For one, romance novels can be incredibly empowering for women. These stories often feature strong and independent female protagonists who are unafraid to go after what they want. They also typically depict healthy and balanced relationships, which is something that is often lacking in the real world.

Romance books are often maligned as being silly, cliché, and unrealistic. But there’s more to them than meets the eye! In fact, romance books can be quite interesting, and even educational, if you know where to look. For example, many romance books deal with important topics like sexism, racism, and other forms of discrimination. They also often deal with tough topics like violence, abuse, and trauma. And while they may not always get it right, they can still provide valuable insights into these complex issues. So next time you’re looking for something to read, don’t write off romance books just yet. You might be surprised by how much you learn from them.

In addition, romance novels can be a great way to escape from the stresses of everyday life. These stories provide a chance to escape into a world of fantasy, where nothing is impossible and love always triumphs in the end.

Romance books are pointed to be

unrealistic with high standards and letting woman (woman are the audience romance books OBVIOUS LIKE MEN DON 'T READ IT TOO)

books that are predictable every body know that they will fall in love and be together.

A lot of stereotypes in these books.

The problem with these accusations is that ALL FICTION work can be criticized this way. If people like to point out the weaknesses of romance I think it's more a problem with women's guts that people try to point out. Adventure books are filled with unrealistic performances of people who were on their couch for 22 years and in 1 month they run climb fought like pros. You know even non-fictional books can be quite problematic in this viewpoint because it's the top 1% of people that write these books, people who lived quite shitty lives which the majority of their readers didn't live like war, accidents, big failures and their journey to change, and they are putting the bar out of reach to folks.

Point the predictable aspect of romance is a little bit weird because in fantasy we know that in the end the object they search for will be found (Harry Potter) and I just don't see the importance of Dystopia if we know that the message is basically that we should be aware of our actions in society. I will also say that self-help books can be resumed in one sentence

for atomic habits it would be " build good habits for your future self"

for rich dad poor dad " don't trade you time for money but build systems that will make money for you"

But it's not the end of the book that we wait for it's the journey that is more important than the destination of all the feelings, the way the writer of the self-help book motivates is, by the way, he writes nothing more or nothing less.

As a romance reader I felt a lot of shame to say that my last book was twisted lies ( incredible btw), if someone told you

''gna gna gna, romance is shit"

"gna gna gna that's MY shit,

and what do you read by the way".

Well, I'm not here to book-shame people (yes I invented it et alors?) but really it's exhausting to always be seen as the least interesting reader, as someone who read basically every genre to finally stick with romance, yes reading romance is not "easy" if you read Mariana Zapata with a long slow burn or Collen Hoover books that could be tricky sometimes.

And I feel like with the big community of readers in internet that I LOVE sometimes I find some comments about books really

snob

Yes those " this book doesn't meet my quality requirement". I can tell you a thing this is not constructive for the writer AND people who love this book, because when you loved a book you search on the comments and as a new fan you feel like you didn't read the same book.
