Am I the only one that thinks that people should put less info into their blurbs/advertising?
One example- which i hope is not spoiling anyone- is the thruple in Iron Widow. My first interaction with this book was the author calling it a "furry mecha with a why choose romance" but the romance in question takes a long time to develop?? Don't tell me that, I can figure that out myself by reading the book.
Another, which i won't name since it's much more niche, basically says this is the character's desire, this is the inciting incident and she falls madly in love, but oh no he's lying to her he's actually xyz!! And I'm like, yeah, please tell me if I should temper my expectations for the kind of romance in the book but I feel like you've turned me against the character already and I haven't been convinced to like him yet?
(Another honorable mention is Muñeca's blurb because I wanted the book to be skilled enough to tell me these things, not have to rely on my knowledge from the blurb until 30% in, but that might just be my personal issue)
Anyway, my point is that I might be more of an outlier, wanting to be told by the story instead of by the blurb, but I feel like even the blurbs recently are just really really spoiler-y.
