Trends in Fantasy & Romantasy Books That Are No Longer Working

Fantasy and Romantasy are my two favorite genres to read. However, as they have gained additional popular over the past few years thanks to BookTok, the writing quality in the books written in these two genres has seriously declined. And in my opinion, this has been happening due to authors implementing particular trends in these stories in hopes to appease readers of the genre, and to help push their stories forward. So, in this video, I go over 8 of these writing trends, and discuss why authors need to let each one go so that these genres can get their sparks back. Of course, these are just my opinions, we all have different opinions, I hope you enjoy the video! 📌 Subscribe for more deep dives, character/storytelling analysis, and videos on music, movies, and books! 💖📚✨ Subscribe to my reading channel readbyreem:    / @readbyreem   TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Intro 1:06 - Trend 1 3:02 - Trend 2 4:51 - Trend 3 6:17 - Trend 4 7:33 - Trend 5 9:07 - Trend 6 10:33 - Trend 7 11:30 - Trend 8 SOCIALS 📸 🌺 Instagram:   / toldbyreem   💗 TikTok:   / toldbyreem   🍬 LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/heyitsreem 📚 Subscribe to my reading channel readbyreem:    / @readbyreem   💌 Business Inquiries, Brand Collaborations, ARCs, PR, etc. ➳ [email protected] 🥳WHAT TO WATCH NEXT: Outrageous Things BookTok Normalized We NEED To Leave Behind -    • Outrageous Things BookTok Normalized We NE...   Are Male Main Characters Not Allowed To Have Flaws Anymore? -    • Are Male Main Characters Not Allowed To Ha...   Deeply Problematic Romance Tropes We NEED To Leave Behind -    • Deeply Problematic Romance Tropes We NEED ...   Why is The Enemies To Lovers Trope Like This Now? -    • Why is The Enemies To Lovers Trope Like Th...   We Don’t Want Shadow Daddies Anymore.
