genuine curiosity, so no offense, but what about this is anything special? It seems like almost an exact copy of the same scene written over and over again in "romantasy" books.. granted, I absolutely despise the genre in general so maybe that's it

Wait I don’t get it what’s special about this? I feel like there’s something I’m missing

Tropes are tropes for a reason, so I’m certainly not hating. People eat this shit up. Enjoy it OP!

yeah like no offense but this is just copypaste enemies to lovers romantasy (most of the books in this genre are perfect duplicates of each other) and they literally use the word cocky twice to describe the same thing right after the other... "ready and cocky...he stood there with brooding cockiness" for real? and then "the ends of my ribbons trill" it's just bad writing im sorry

Some people enjoy cliché writing, and this author's style isn't bad. (Or maybe that's just my opinion.) If you don't like books like this, then simply don't read them. Criticizing a book won't change someone else's enjoyment of it if that's what they like. 🤷‍♀️

“how is the thing in a genre I despise even good?” Some of y’all are so fuckin negative over something someone else was genuinely excited about. You can just not do this snobbery.

Having a superiority complex about what other people enjoy won’t make you happy or popular

I don’t read fantasy very often and I found the introduction compelling as well as this scene
