All three of my romance novels flopped Anonymous 04/21/22(Thu)08:22:09 No.20252862▶>>20252871 >>20252912 >>20252961 >>20253180 >>20253185 >>20253203 >>20253219 >>20254711 >>20254724 >>20254731 >>20254740 >>20254742
>friend is a romance author
>made $100,000 last year
>decide to become a romance author myself
>challenging and time consuming
>work 3 months straight
>my books totally flop.

I am currently trying to do a fourth but it is seeming very futile at this stage. How do I write romance in a way that middle aged normie women, and gays appreciate?

You have to pick one, it's impossible to appeal to both in significant numbers

Write a book about a handsome gay man who gets seduced by an aged hagraven.

Women love rape and someone to take care of them. Also pirates

Gay men are like men and they like physical things

Just get the bestsellers, distill their formula and archetypes and just fill the rest for your books. Don't tell me you're actually trying to make up shit.

It's all about marketing and not how you write.

Write abusive smut. That's what holes like. Arrogant bullies who are also tall, muscular, rich, and for some reason obsessed with them even though they're mediocre females.

He got knocked retarded by a van after years of knocking himself retarded with coke and booze. After book four the series goes completely to shit and it was honestly pretty dumb even before that.

no idea but I can't help but admire it a bit just because of how bizarre it is. Even if it's dumb.

Perfectly put. Book 4 is the apex, the rest is mediocre. That van really fucked him up.

I like the very ending of Dark Tower otherwise yes book 4 was the last good one.
I would say Gunslinger is exceptionally good and different from a lot that I've read. It's standalone in a way.>>20253806

I love literature. Now I'm in a binge of japanese lit. Today I started The Sound of Waves. Being a simp doesn't make me dumber or shallow. If you can look at this woman and not recognize she's a goddess, then you can't recognize beauty in this world, and you're the one who should pay more attention to what you read.
