Hey Storytellers,
If you write fantasy, sci-fi, or romance, my evaluation service can help you learn what you're doing well and identify anything that doesn't match your vision.

That's a fair point.
But my main issue was the double standard which is prevalent in romance novels. I thought we'd have moved past that by now.

Why do romance writers have double standards for the FMC and MMC?
I'm so tired of seeing the love interest portrayed as a walking STD, while the FMC has only ever had one sexual partner.
Is it just me? Or do other readers get annoyed by this?
