The main problem is people complaining about this is that they don’t in fact think.

Loved the video (i have more to say but I'm too dumb to articulate how I feel so imma just leave it at that)

I've only done self-publishing, so I'm no expert, but your analysis of when to use a beta reader made sense to me.

But, I love tropes. They're so easy to build plots around.❤

Lol. I think the reason the "misunderstanding" trope bothers me in romance more than any other genre is it's because, 9 times out of 10, the miscommunication could have been completely avoided if the love interests just... You know... Talked to each other... Like people in a healthy relationship do. So at the end of the book when the misunderstanding is resolved and the couple gets back together, it's like... You're still obviously not going to work out if you're too jealous, stubborn and insecure to just talk to your partner whenever an issue comes up. 😝 As for a trope that I would like you to talk about in your next video, the classic "Enemies to Lovers" trope is one that I have a massive love/hate relationship with. It can make for both the best and the worst romances ever. Basically, I think there are two types of enemies to lovers stories. 1. Two people who are part of two rival families/countries/clans meet, get along really well and fall madly in love with each other. But the conflict between their families intensifies, meaning that they need to choose between their loyalty to their families and their love for their partner. This type of enemies to lovers story, I usually really love. 2. There is no actual war or conflict involved. The two characters just absolutely hate each other. As soon as they meet, they hate everything about each other. They have nothing in common, they both can't stand the other person's personality and they make each others lives absolutely miserable with their mere existence... But they end up hooking up anyways because they're both hot and you can forgive a person pretty much any flaw imaginable so long as they're hot... This is the kind of enemies to lovers story I can't stand. 😫

Really good advice! Before I used to feel like I needed to take every piece of advice that anybody gave me, but eventually those pieces of advice will start clashing. Like one person will say, "There's too much dialogue and not enough description" and other people will tell you "There's too much description and not enough dialogue". And that's when I realised that taking every single piece of advice people give you isn't really possible. What I try to do now is look out for reoccurring advice. Like if one person gives advice, its just a suggestion but if 10 people give the same piece of advice then they're probably on to something.

3:10 very very true 😅 👍

Totally agree with all of this! However, I will say that I am one of the weird ones who doesn’t look for or at reviews or anything about a book before reading it. 95% of the time I go in knowing next to nothing about the book 😂

These books all sound awesome! I need to read more indie novels. Hope you feel better soon.

I usually don't think its weird for authors to respond to their reviews. Like, if somebody leaves a nice review of a book and the author says "thank you", or if somebody leaves a negative review of the book and the author says, "thanks for the constructive criticism. I'll take what you said on board" then that's fine. When it gets weird is when somebody leaves a negative review of a book and the author feels the need to reply to that review letting them know why everything they said in the review is wrong and the book is actually awesome.

I enjoy the deep dives. This was an excellent chat. Thank you for sharing! ✨🖤✨

I love hearing the inside scoop from an author. This is wonderful. I’m glad to see some of these traits and issues represented through Esther. 🖤

Loved this!
