If I had to pick out a romantasy book that was the exception to these rules, it would be "The Savior's Champion" by Jenna Moreci. The love interest, Leila, doesn't just go along with Tobias and do whatever he wants. When he fucks up, she criticizes him. When he fucks up big time, he has to move heaven and earth to earn her forgiveness. And yes, forgiveness should be earned, not automatic. Plus, Jenna Moreci is left-leaning as hell and that's one of the things i admire about her. Check out "The Savior's Champion" if you haven't already.

So here's something I've been wondering for a while. Do you think women who are into traditional gender roles disproportionately gravitate towards (heterosexual) romance adjacent books?
I'm curious about this because of the romance books subreddit which gets a lot of posts asking for books with traditional dynamics, and saying they don't want strong female protagonists or how they want 'alpha male' type mmcs. And I've seen the opposite too, posts asking for strong fmcs and gentle mmcs for eg, but those posts tend to get fewer responses and less upvotes. I don't see this tendency among fans of other genres or other fandoms, in fact in many of the fandoms I'm in people enjoy subverting gender roles. While a lot of that happens with queer characters, people also enjoy doing that with straight ships, for instance the girlboss x malewife trope is popular in many of the fandoms I'm in. But in romance book spaces the dynamics often seem so aggressively traditional, I wonder why that is.

i recommend watching contrapoints' twilight video, she goes into the romance genre and why this degrading trope is so popular, and while, for sure, it is due to patriarchal pressure, its also an excuse to enjoy sexuality while maintaining "good girl" status. The need to maintain "good girl" status for the main characters is heavily caused by patriarchal pressure, and means if she cant be the aggressor (because shes a "good girl") the male character has to be.
