I'm tired of reading big brained books about doom and gloom.
Can someone recommend me:
1- A good romance story, something that is not just wish fulfillment shit, something that actually makes you feel warm inside and has good development and progression
2-A good action-adventure story with magic/superpowers and fights that reads more like an action manga/anime

Aurélien by Louis Aragon. Read it in French if you can.

Please kindly fuck off back to /a/ or whatever gay nip board talks about this stupid nip shit.

I don't want anime books, I want a dumb/fun adventure with powers and fights. I only used anime as a reference for the kind of thing I'm looking for.

What you're looking for is anime, or YA.

The White Stuff by Simon Armitage is one beautiful book about this couple who can't conceive, and ngl I cried at the end.

It is an incontestable fact that there is an infinite power gap between YA and manga.

For no.2: Gotrex & Felix the first omnibus, continue down to sixth.
15+ novels all with action and adventure and magic; which reads like comic books. Fun, easy read. TTRPG feel.

If your first two go-to's to combat doom and gloom are romance and shonen manga, you're beyond pathetic.

Rather than just insult you, I'll try to you steer you toward better literature instead:

1. Jane Eyre, unironically. If you want a doorstopper: David Copperfield. Alternatively, pretty much anything by Jane Austen.
2. Any prose translation of the Odyssey. L'Morte de Artur. Pretty much any of the romances by Sir Walter Scott.

Maria by Jorge Isaacs, read it in spanish if you can or find a good translation
>A good action-adventure story with magic/superpowers and fights that reads more like an action manga/anime
Ready Player One, is pretty fun and full of 80's nostalgia (much better than the movie adaptation)

Ready Player One is irredeemable dogshit and enjoying it is a sign that you're too retarded for your opinion to hold value on anything, especially books.
