@bfojaslife

After ‘God of Fury’ ‘For the fans’ is my second favourite mm romance. Kyran and Brandon remind me so much of each other. I definitely recommend it and the spice is out of this world ( spice wise it definitely exceeds GOF) (⚠️ Make sure to check trigger warnings and read the description to make sure it’s your cup of tea. ⚠️ The vibe is similar but the stories are vastly different) #booktok #bookrecommendations #mmromance #godoffury #rinakent #forthefans #nylak

The stakes of Booktok spicy reads

Despite their popularity, Booktok romances raise certain questions:

  • Sometimes stereotypical representation of relationships
  • Risk of normalizing toxic behaviors in some works, for example through #DarkRomance
  • Lack of diversity in main characters

It’s important to maintain a critical eye when reading these romances and consider them as entertainment rather than relationship models.
