I’m sorry, wtf is a shadow daddy?

The tall, dark, and handsome male leads with tattoos and shadow powers who always seem to be “misunderstood”. Basically the direct result of Acotar’s popularity. It seems like every other romantasy/fantasy has a Rhysand knockoff now.

Oh got it the hot brooding guy that isn’t actually that great of a character in reality

Not really brooding, mostly just “morally grey” in a really shallow, poorly written way. They always seem to be the “bad guy” but in reality it’s just a misunderstanding. And then the fmc falls in love with him. They just always seem to look the same and resemble Rhysand coincidentally.

If I were to boil down my favorite and least favorite tropes it would be: Fav: unattractive male lead Least fav: “short/tiny/weak” fmcs
