I fear I would be that annoying FMC - the one who's always overthinking, a bit insecure, kind of clumsy. I tend to inadvertently infantilise myself and need help even though I hate asking for it. That kind of stereotypical, bullheaded, dumb, inept protagonist 😂
What kind of protagonist do you think you are? Or what kind of protagonist do you wish/hope to be?
Bonus: what type of book/genre would you fit well in, or be subversive in (daring to break conventions etc)?
Edit: what I'm getting from this is I would love you all and want to read whatever you star in 😊

A great finale that could be written better! There scenes that felt rush even confusing. Unlike the first one this one has more emotional. It is a good novel but I think that fans will appreciate it more...

The fan of the video game would appreciate it more than casual readers. It was a great combination of action, fantasy and with a small touch of romance!

I need you all lovely people's thoughts on something in a book, please.
But before, fair warnings : I will be talking about something that might be considered a spoiler but won't mention the book's title. And 2, I'll be talking about infertility, so if that's a sensitive topic for you, please take care of yourself and proceed with awareness.
Here's my issue. I think the book I'm currently reading might be problematic but I'm not sure if it is or if it's me. It really puts a damper on what should be a fun read. So I would like your opinion. In the book in question, which is marketed as a silly erotica novella between the Easter Bunny and a couple, the couple is struggling with infertility. It's devastating to them and puts a strain on their marriage. It's heavily implied from the start that they won't be able to try any more fertility treatements in the future either and had many miscarriages in the past. But then Easter Bunny shows up and tells them that in exchange for 1 wild night, he'll give them a baby. He can make the wife pregnant and assure she'll carry the baby to term. Which I'm having issues with?
It feels very "magic dick fixes you" vibe and it feels offensive to me, but I'm also not dealing with infertility myself. I think if it was magic dick allows someone in a wheelchair to walk again, it would be really offensive, and isn't it the same here with infertility?
I'm really conflicted about this and it makes it hard to actually read the book. Because either it is offensive and I read the book knowing that, or it's not offensive and I get to enjoy the complete silliness of the scenario. Right now, I just feel slightly icky and I don't like it. The mix of a very heavy topic with a completely bonker erotic scenario was already weird enough.
EDIT : added for context, this is in the blurb " Book Title is the third installment of Series, a series of humorous, spicy standalone novellas featuring some of your favorite holidays (and holiday figures). For mature audiences only." It's definitely advertised as erotica
