I was struck, when doing a bit of research into booktok, how so many of these women's romance novels follow the exact same script. Woman gets abducted or coerced (possibly seduced) into serving the whims of a dark figure that she is attracted to despite herself, she has to survive a new social sphere full of people envious of her newfound status being the dark's figure's sex object, she ends up prevailing and climbing up the socioeconomic ladder while getting dicked down by said dark figure. Bonus points if she's offended (read: aroused) by said dark figure's misogynistic attitudes.

You have 50 Shades of Gray, picrel, and a whole litany of books with the exact same schema, and it's bizarre because it's so hilariously patriarchal and frankly medieval. I don't observe this as if it's a novel insight, it's trivial and well-observed. But c'mon, what the hell is going on here?

How has the gulf between women's professed attitudes (feminism, aversion to toxic masculinity, etc.) and their consumption habits become so wildly incongruous? I'm looking for literature to explain this phenomenon, it's actually schizophrenic how thorough this disavowal is, how nobody is commenting on the elephant in modern sexual politics: that economic involvement and ownership has not altered women's patriarchal sexual desires.

What's something like A Court of Thorns and Roses but actually good?
I'm asking cause I wanna see if you guys can come up with something, cause I sure can't.
