The Problem with Romantasy It’s Not Fantasy Just Spice
Let’s talk about the rise of "Romantasy" and why it often fails as true fantasy. 📖 🔥 With the explosion of BookTok trends and the endless hype around spicy fantasy romances, many so-called fantasy books feel more like romance novels with a medieval setting than actual epic fantasy storytelling.

🚨 Where’s the worldbuilding?
🔥 Why is plot taking a backseat to romance?
📖 Can we get back to actual fantasy?

What do you think? Does romantasy deserve its place in fantasy, or is it just romance in disguise? Let’s discuss in the comments!
