emotionless girls (again, whenever i read something like this it always makes me uninterested but if its good, ill read it) a typical main shounen character that is super cliche (like in rave master) No bl, gl and preferably no mecha or historical (i havent read anything in those genres that i really liked, but if its good im willing to give it a shot). Its always a nice contrast to everything that is going on. I just find romance stories better as subplots. It can be only a little but it has to have a conclusion.
I like reading stories with good plot that keeps me entertained. Preferably male main character (doesnt have to be).
#Fantasy novels with romance subplot series
The series is not yet finished but I can't imagine Sanderson won't give us a happy ending.Īll the others I can think of have multiple POVs because you usually get the perspective of both partners in the love story.Like the title says, I'm looking for a manga (any genre: action, adventure, fantasy, psychological, parody (gag) etc.) where romance exists but it is NOT a main theme. Skyward - single POV (apart from some small interludes), great characters and plot, hint of romance. (Rape doesn't happen to the MC, but it's strongly threatened - not by the hero obviously.) You'd probably love Kings of the Wyld, even though it's about a group of old adventurers: there's only one POV character, and while there is no particular romance plot, it's all about going out to save the beloved daughter of one their friends and definitely has a heart-warming feel-good ending, with a lot of humor and no rapes.Ĭlean Sweep also fits the bill, even though the romance is only very much in the background and very slow-burn, the main plot is about other things.Įlantris breaks one of your rules in terms of having three POV characters instead of one, but it's still really wonderful and has a sweet romance subplot.Īcross the Universe is a fast-paced SF thriller with a little bit of a romance subplot. They are very good stories, with almost no sexual content (and no rape at all), though there is romance with a bit of a struggle. They aren't what the covers would make you think they are. I would also recommend the Mortal Instruments, though they do have bare chests on the covers sometimes. There isn't a lot of romance at all, but they are Very interesting detective stories set in a different word. I would also recommend the Chronicles of Elantra series, which starts with.
I posted in your first thread and I recommended the Sharing Knife books by Lois McMaster Bujold because you like The Curse of Chalion and specifically requested romance. While I have no issue with sex being in a story, I'm not a an of sex thrown into a story if it does nothing for the story. Some of them contain quality stories that aren't filled with cheese or erotica or forced consent. But I've come to realize that not all books with covers like that are horrible. I used to flat out reject books with covers like that, whether they were men or women. I know what you mean about the bare chested men on the covers, because I generally feel the same way.
I find it a bit interesting that you include the Dresden books in with "feel good romances"-have you read them all? I think they're some of the most tragic in the romance department that I've read in a long time. So yeah, I'm looking for a fantasy story that has substance, features one main protagonist, and has a strong romance subplot. The Curse of Chalion - Lois McMaster Bujoldġ0. Kingkiller Chronicle - Patrick RothfussĨ. Some have less of a romance plot than I'd like, but you'll get the idea:Ģ. Here are some books I've already enjoyed that more or less fit the aforementioned criteria. As soon as I start reading about how the main character's sister/mother/wife/GF got raped, I just close the book and throw it in the trash. NO RAPE - A book that features the rape of a main character is a deal breaker. Strong, "Feel Good" romance subplot - We're talking bunnies and sunshine here people. A single protagonist - One main character only pleaseģ. I got a bunch of people suggesting really campy, shallow spaghetti romance novels - You know, the kind of book that has a guy's bare chest on the cover? That is not was I was looking for, so I backed away from that group slowly and reposted here.ġ. Hey guys, I originally (and mistakenly) asked this question in a PNR group.
