Alternate ending *Teacher falls to the ground and screams as MC slowly turns into a bony fish* *Deep ominous voice that booms throuout the trees* blub blob *the fish screams* *the students run away screaming, as the Fish makes it’s way to the lake waddling on the fins*
No I think in this book it would continue like this: Mr Vlad Drăculea Rouge (I forgot his name, but I think this will work aswell) glimpsed at her violet eye with a stripe of confusion but lust. He slightly brushed against her bald head with his strong dominant alpha thumb. When he took it down Parmigiana Reggiana (forgot her name too) looked deeply into his male orbs “ you don’t like me now, do you, do I disgust you?”. Additionally she hid her magenta coloured eye from him with her bear foot. “No” he answered directly but masculine with his deep male voice since he is a man “you don’t. You adore me. You drive me mad. This..” he pointed between him and me with his strong male muscular veiny hand “this is madness” he barked. “You are madness my little bony fish” he grinned with a erotic tension between him and my bear foot.
More like the common r*pist Ok maybe that's not the right word, I haven't read the book but Corvina doesn't seem to be communicating clear consent, so mr. Professor is still on a very blurry spot.
tbh, the wrong move isn't the teacher-student relationship, it's the fact people talk about it so loudly (in this book); even irl, if people know that a teacher and a student have a relationship, as long as it's legal and all, they would be more secretive and stuff, not go around and talk about it like chickens
That's probably one of the most realistic things about that book. I remember there was a teacher in my MIDDLE SCHOOL that was reported at least 10 times, only counting the people I knew that reported him. He had been teaching for at the very least 6 years and was still teaching the middle school while I was in highschool

Some other great out-of-context quotes from Leonie: “It’s Jack! The English teacher! And he is _looking,_ at _his_ wife, HOOKING UP, with the _exact same dude,_ that _he_ has also been secretly having an affair with!” - “And Lawson is just on the side, gaslighting gatekeeping girlbossing, trying to flirt with his TEACᴴᴱᴿˢ” - (Both of those are from her review of “Misfits”) “This is not _romance,_ this is _jail time!_ The only _romance_ I wanna see is between Rowan and the bars of his prison!” (Reviewing “The Fine Print”)
Don't remember my 15 year old self of writing down a story about one dude saving the world from all sorts of "natural" catastrophes with just the power of his will, later turning into more of a Battle-Shonen Manga but written instead of drawn, while I should be asleep.
I know someone who wrote poetry when they had insomnia. They DID expect it to be weird upon re reading. Imho it's ok to cherry pick the odd nugget when you're writing in a sub optimal state, but there's no reason to keep it all. Not everyone is Kafka (Kafka wrote exclusively in late evening).

"she breasted boobily down the stairs" Boy, did you write this yourself? Son, you're hired!! I'm looking for a ghostwriter for Mr. Trump's autobiography, and I want it on my desk by Monday. You'll be the next Herbert Hemingway, kid
perfect!...why don't we all just start calling them "boobily" novels? and then the description would be exactly what she said in the video: "fan-fictiony writting, poorly written smut scenes, mental health issues and romantization of abusive relationships". That would be perfect, right? And then we can finally have them be separate from regular books in any other genre, and life will finally make sense. Bc they're like 1% (maybe) of fiction books, but somehow have ended up with wayyyy too much media attention. It's not fair to expect them to be real books, and hold them to that standard. People expect them to have normal writting, spell checking, grammar, realistic characters, a plot, etc... and that's just not typical for Boobly books. We're holding them to a standard which is just unfair... clearly. It's like expecting Shakespeare from a bathroom wall.
Yeah, god forbid people cultivate a mood for their story. Soooo amateur to listen to music. Shaming people isn't cute. You are not any better than other writers because you don't like listening to music. Not every person is you. You call yourselves writers yet you are willing to diminish the accomplishments of your peers because you don't like their methods? Sounds like mean girl behavior to me.
I love how the "you may be a siren" scene is one hair away from being an "Arrr, I'll be plunderin' yer booty soon enough, ya salty wench!" kinda flirting.
Preach. I think it’s very sweet that Leonie avoided kinkshaming by acknowledging that every folk has their own stroke and that’s fine, but when does it stop? So much romanticisation of these toxic, manipulative people is rampant throughout literature - everywhere I see mafia stories and toxic werewolf alphas and billionaire playboys, it just gives me the ick. When fiction affects reality, the problem begins. I believe unironically that every book with this romanticisation featured should have a disclaimer at the beginning making it clear for readers that this is FICTIONAL and that people acting like this in real life is not okay.
@@SteampunkHorse I've read quite a few mafia story, but i've been able to sort the good ones from the bad ones. Well, more specifically, the ones where the FL acknowledges that the ML isn't being mysterious he's being a bad person.
I’m all in for hating this book but he did not yell at corvina for that part lmfao that was just some random a$$ girl but either way the “I could feel the sexual tension between you two!!!” Part was RIDICULOUS. That’s like if someone’s main character syndrome actually came true which is what this entire book is with corvina.
I can’t explain why, but ‘the wet slaps of their skins the only sounds in the room’ while they’re in a FOREST and she’s against a TREE just completely sent me
Also “wet slaps of their skins” is quite possibly the least appealing way of describing sex possible. I’d imagine someone would write that to paint a sex scene as disgusting, not for SMUT
FOR REAL😭😭I’m surprised she didn’t get a yeast infection or any type of nasty smell stuck on her after not doing that for like, more than half the book.
…Maybe he’s tenured?? Or the university’s so desperate to stay afloat that they’ll overlook it because they can’t get more staff? I honestly don’t know man Edit: Nevermind he’s 28 and a grad student, there’s no way he’s tenured, I got nothin’.
TW for mention of suicide- Not just sleeping with students, but the last student he slept with literally killed herself?? Like, babe, how are you still employed with ZERO lawsuits following you?? Huh??
That legit happened at our highschool (multiple teachers were rumoured to have slept with students), and most of us were minors. It definitely shouldn’t happen, but it does happen in real life :‘)
An author being allergic to the word “said” is an immediate red flag for me. Characters shouldn’t be whispering and murmuring and purring all over the place
@@brophaner this, but also the purpose of dialogue tags is to help the reader keep track of who is saying what. “Said” is an invisible dialogue tag, meaning your brain just glosses over it, but all those elaborate synonyms are not, so it distracts from the dialogue.
"You wanna know who I am?" He asked her harshly. "I," slam. "Am," slam. "Madness!" He put a hand on the back of her neck and suddenly slammed her into a tree, and she yelped. When your scene reads like an episode of Incredible Hulk.
That's how you know she's special and not like the other girls, who breathe through their noses (and ears). She probably blinks with her eyelids and walks using her feet as well. 😍
In the Italian version of "TeenTitansGo" the character "Raven" is called "Corvina". She has violet eyes, a dark personality and magic power/parents. I believe the protagonist is based on a character from TeenTitansGo.
There's no way you're introducing Raven as from TT Go instead of the tv show that Go is inspired by, Teen Titans.... Or the DC Comics that Teen Titans' Raven is inspired from... But her worst portrayal easily lmao

This book would have been a hundred times better if it had a little author's note at the end of each chapter saying something like "omg sorry i didn't post for so long, you guys! I was in prison xD but I'm out now and exams are already starting!!! >.< eeep! my mom is yelling at me to go study! wait and see what happens in the next chapter owo"
@@schirry5144 omg yes And it needs those weird interactions with the author and the characters like author: hehehe we're ending at a cliffhanger here!! corvina: srsly, woman? y don't u just let us get together? author: becoz I'm evil mwehehehe >:) the teacher guy (forgot his name lol): uggghh -_- this is what we have to deal with author: okkiieee I'm off to skool now!!
@@MooneyBabbler Actually not, it's very probably that he married her to save her from an actual predator. And btw, he called her "sissy" 'cause he loved her like his little sister. (That nickname it's actually confirmed, he did call her that, and maybe they didn't even sleep in the same room, it's a very probably thing too) No hate! I just love his works and I've investigated his life, there is a lot of misinformation around him and I like to explain this things. Have a great day
Since he has a reputation for sleeping with his students, it would have been funnier if she kept trying to get with him to make the plot happen but he was completely disinterested and going after someone else.
I understand why the last student dated the teacher jumped off the roof, after all if the person I am dating spoke this cringy bullshit I would jump off the roof too. Edit: omg this is crazy and the dog one T-T??
First date I ever went on after highschool, I was making out with the guy, and he kept using lines. For example, his tiny dog came up and interrupted us to lick my face, and after he removed her he said something like, "now it's my turn." Absolutely hated that.
I'm from Estonia and "kana" stands for "chicken" in Estonian. I'm therefore having a hard time paying attention when you're holding a book titled "Goth Chicken"
It's actually ironic because Corvina is meant to mean a type of bird but is actually a fish, whereas sirens were mythical creatures often misunderstood and represented as beautiful mermaids (half-fish women) but are in fact horrifying deceitful creatures that are half-bird, half-woman. So the unintentional insult comes back around in the end lol. 😂
The teacher calls their relationship madness so often that I was half expecting him to be a piece of her imagination, and the whole ordeal is her loosing her mind
It's because they're supposedly more charming and persuasive. You know, because they studied language? Also, English teachers tend to be younger (Or at least that's what I noticed where I live). You don't wanna hook up with old Mr. Higgins the math teacher
Now I wanna see a (legal) student-teacher relationship fic/book where the teacher/professor teaches mathematics or physical science and the entire book is just a long painful read of the teacher being blind to literally every advance said student makes and every chapter ends off a cliffhanger only for the next one to be the most anticlimactic scenario they could have possibly thought of. And it’s in the comedy genre.
I would say it's most commonly either the English/Literature professor or art/music/drama teacher as they're usually portrayed as young and so more cool and relatable to the kids (and if I may stereotype for a second, those are likely the subjects that romance authors are more interested in and find romantic). The only romance involving an Ethics professor as a love interest that I've seen is Chidi and Eleanor in The Good Place, and now I hate that they appear in a comparison with this terrible fanfic romance. It'd be ironic and even more hypocritical for an Ethics professor to have a relationship with a student, often in that fictional situation though it's the character's psychiatrist/therapist.
Reading these replies is interesting. I always just assumed it was because we’re authors/writers, meaning English is bound to be one of the subjects we’re good at/enjoy. I didn’t realise it was due to a whole stereotype, but that makes a lot more sense. Mind you out of the bunch of books I’ve read on Wattpad of this teacher x student genre, I remember one being a Calculus teacher and one being a History teacher iirc? Then English, English, I forget but probably English, English, you get the picture. (Don’t ask why I read so many txs books 😇)
Yes! Except not a joke...the author was seriously going for edgy pretty raven and landed on fish. If you replace every time he calls her "little crow" with "little fish" it'd be a much better book lmao
It’s a rule to not date the students (as it is everywhere), student died due to student teacher relationship, and everyone knows he is known for sleeping with students….and he still has a job.
it’s actually so funny that the book makes this big deal of corvina hearing voices but not having schizophrenia but the final twist is yeah, we were wrong she just has schizophrenia, sorry my bad
Lowk, that's not even a bad plot twist in it of itself and could be a pretty good book for schizophrenia had the author used that and was half good at her job
Could have been a great Aesop on how untreated mental disorders are NOT hot and you should get help, but it wouldn't be in the series if it was, now would it.
Addon: Imagine being the birds and insects that lived in/on that tree and got "evicted", all for their old home to become the new home of lines such as "magic eyes, magic " or "I am a mad pirate trying to resist landing on your shores and plundering everything"
The author really went wild and thought that the readers would think this _book_ is "Oh this is f**king hot, I feel my b*tt tingling" and also yandere 🥵🥴
Omg. The character being accidentally named after a fish when the author intended some pretty feminized version of raven has such 'My Immortal except not a joke the author actually thought it was deep' energy.
@@paulogaspar8295 I would bet money that anyone who enjoys this novel is a teenage cheerleader or any other type of ditzy popular girl. Because no sane girl would ever like this shit. Romance novels are catered towards teenage girls or young women, but the ones who have an actual brain would never like something so disturbing. I don’t ever even read romance, I mostly read horror/suspense novels anyways.
There’s one line in this book, where the narrator is talking about the “mean girl” character. She says something along the lines of “this girl was SA’d so now she’s super mean to everyone for no reason.” As an SA survivor, I found this super harmful and frankly, a horrible thing to say.
Oh god I hate those kinds of reasons. There's "yeah she went through a traumatic experience so she's still having trouble processing and she lashes out after her *understandably* horrifying experience" And then "Ha ha trauma makes her a bitch, that's it the end."
I am so sorry you had to go through such a thing, your pain and tramua does not deserve to be mocked you. You are human, flesh and blood!! I wish people would understand that more but you’re not alone though! You’ll be okay with the strength you still carry for being alive! ^^ (I’m sorry if that doesn’t make sense..)
5:33 Probably a play on the word corvid. Which does not, in fact, mean raven, it is a category of bird that both ravens and crows, among other birds, fall under. Bird nerd here
Any time a guy doesn't ask and enters you painfully, refusing to slow down. That is r*pe. And I'm tired of this scenario being played as a first time sex thing. No its sexual assault and it's disgusting

@@nowknowthis In a way, that could actually fit into that criteria of dark academia where it critiques the elitism. Maybe it wouldn't be as dark or serious, but hey, humour and parody can be used to critique.
“This is a barbaric need to possess, to eliminate, to own. This, is madness.” If someone whispered that into my ear I’d go searching for the nearest rooftop also.
Since the corvidae family of birds contains not only crows and ravens, the teacher would have been technically equally correct to call her a blue jay. Although I suppose that isn't as Dark Academia
Wait, I’d like to make an argument that this would have been more dark academia, because it would need some knowledge on birds and biological naming conventions. It would make you as the reader think, and not be as cliche as the raven thing, which sounds like trying too hard/fanfiction-like. It’s not as „steamy romance novel set in „dark academia aesthetic“ setting must read oh so *hoooot*“, tho, for sure.

It’s like Leonie says, the lack of consent from the protagonist and romanticization of a controlling man is what makes this kind of story dangerous, especially when he’s always blaming her for HIS attraction to her and his stupid “madness.” I don’t want to read stories like this at all but I know that some romance writers can depict how to have a sub/dom relationship that is healthy and consensual.

Don't remember my 15 year old self of writing down a story about one dude saving the world from all sorts of "natural" catastrophes with just the power of his will, later turning into more of a Battle-Shonen Manga but written instead of drawn, while I should be asleep.
I know someone who wrote poetry when they had insomnia. They DID expect it to be weird upon re reading. Imho it's ok to cherry pick the odd nugget when you're writing in a sub optimal state, but there's no reason to keep it all. Not everyone is Kafka (Kafka wrote exclusively in late evening).

hehe boobily may be my new favorite word
perfect!...why don't we all just start calling them "boobily" novels? and then the description would be exactly what she said in the video: "fan-fictiony writting, poorly written smut scenes, mental health issues and romantization of abusive relationships". That would be perfect, right? And then we can finally have them be separate from regular books in any other genre, and life will finally make sense. Bc they're like 1% (maybe) of fiction books, but somehow have ended up with wayyyy too much media attention.
It's not fair to expect them to be real books, and hold them to that standard. People expect them to have normal writting, spell checking, grammar, realistic characters, a plot, etc... and that's just not typical for Boobly books. We're holding them to a standard which is just unfair... clearly. It's like expecting Shakespeare from a bathroom wall.
If a book has a "song list," its entered fanfiction territory.

Preach. I think it’s very sweet that Leonie avoided kinkshaming by acknowledging that every folk has their own stroke and that’s fine, but when does it stop? So much romanticisation of these toxic, manipulative people is rampant throughout literature - everywhere I see mafia stories and toxic werewolf alphas and billionaire playboys, it just gives me the ick. When fiction affects reality, the problem begins. I believe unironically that every book with this romanticisation featured should have a disclaimer at the beginning making it clear for readers that this is FICTIONAL and that people acting like this in real life is not okay.

In the Italian version of "TeenTitansGo" the character "Raven" is called "Corvina". She has violet eyes, a dark personality and magic power/parents.
I believe the protagonist is based on a character from TeenTitansGo.
Actually she's been part of the DC universe since 1980 and is a decent character (although very edgy especially in the beginning)

16:38 the whole siren/sailor/pirate monologue is 10 times funnier when you remember that corvina is a type of fish 😭😭
BRO THIS IS SO UNDERRATED
Lol
IT COULDVE BEEN SUCH A FUN INTENDED REFERENCE FROM THE WRITER;
ie. this book makes me furious, even being a beginner author it's just so .. arrogant.
It's actually ironic because Corvina is meant to mean a type of bird but is actually a fish, whereas sirens were mythical creatures often misunderstood and represented as beautiful mermaids (half-fish women) but are in fact horrifying deceitful creatures that are half-bird, half-woman. So the unintentional insult comes back around in the end lol. 😂
WHEEEZEE 😂
The teacher calls their relationship madness so often that I was half expecting him to be a piece of her imagination, and the whole ordeal is her loosing her mind
That would have been an infinitely better plot/plot point!!!
Yo imagine
I’d actually read that.
That would be a far more interesting plot than this 😂
This would be such a better plot.
It's always the fucking English teacher when it's not the Ethics professor 💀🤣
It's because they're supposedly more charming and persuasive. You know, because they studied language? Also, English teachers tend to be younger (Or at least that's what I noticed where I live). You don't wanna hook up with old Mr. Higgins the math teacher
Now I wanna see a (legal) student-teacher relationship fic/book where the teacher/professor teaches mathematics or physical science and the entire book is just a long painful read of the teacher being blind to literally every advance said student makes and every chapter ends off a cliffhanger only for the next one to be the most anticlimactic scenario they could have possibly thought of. And it’s in the comedy genre.
The Science teacher doesn't have the necessary amount of swag. You can thank/blame the professor from Gilligan's Island.
I would say it's most commonly either the English/Literature professor or art/music/drama teacher as they're usually portrayed as young and so more cool and relatable to the kids (and if I may stereotype for a second, those are likely the subjects that romance authors are more interested in and find romantic). The only romance involving an Ethics professor as a love interest that I've seen is Chidi and Eleanor in The Good Place, and now I hate that they appear in a comparison with this terrible fanfic romance. It'd be ironic and even more hypocritical for an Ethics professor to have a relationship with a student, often in that fictional situation though it's the character's psychiatrist/therapist.
Reading these replies is interesting. I always just assumed it was because we’re authors/writers, meaning English is bound to be one of the subjects we’re good at/enjoy. I didn’t realise it was due to a whole stereotype, but that makes a lot more sense. Mind you out of the bunch of books I’ve read on Wattpad of this teacher x student genre, I remember one being a Calculus teacher and one being a History teacher iirc? Then English, English, I forget but probably English, English, you get the picture. (Don’t ask why I read so many txs books 😇)

I don’t like when people use “fanfic-like” writing as a criticism, because a lot of fanfic writing is pretty good. I feel like we should just say cringy writing..
as a fanfic reader and writer, i feel to an extent its fair, because, especially on places like wattpad, it seems as though the more popular it is the worse it is. so by default it gets a bad rep. i do agree though, i wish people werent so hard on it because good fanfic writers exist. people have made such genuinely beautiful and well-made fan works, and they shouldnt be taken less seriously simply because they are fanworks.
I think it's because most of them and the most famous are just bad and cringy that's why they get the bad rep
Most are bad

I just LOVE stories Where the Main character is a student in love with a teacher and they SWEAR the teacher loves them too, but it was just their imagination all along and the teacher turns out to be more like a parental figure, with a loving wife/husband and was just being a Nice teacher with the Protagonist.

A dark academia parody novel would be funny
@@nowknowthis In a way, that could actually fit into that criteria of dark academia where it critiques the elitism. Maybe it wouldn't be as dark or serious, but hey, humour and parody can be used to critique.
I would love to have just one person in the book just say "Actually Ravens and crows are both from the same family, corvidae, you dumb fuck"
“This is a barbaric need to possess, to eliminate, to own. This, is madness.”
If someone whispered that into my ear I’d go searching for the nearest rooftop also.
this made me cackle
Since the corvidae family of birds contains not only crows and ravens, the teacher would have been technically equally correct to call her a blue jay. Although I suppose that isn't as Dark Academia
Wait, I’d like to make an argument that this would have been more dark academia, because it would need some knowledge on birds and biological naming conventions. It would make you as the reader think, and not be as cliche as the raven thing, which sounds like trying too hard/fanfiction-like.
It’s not as „steamy romance novel set in „dark academia aesthetic“ setting must read oh so *hoooot*“, tho, for sure.
@@annikania2682 Yeah, cause, forgive my ignorance, isn't "Dark Academia" about, yk, LEARNING?
Knowledge but you have black nail polish?
Education but somehow it's always raining?
Which I think is hilarious, because bluejays are aggressive little shits and bully other birds. If our protagonist was named after one of the assholes of the bird world I’d immediately find her way more compelling.

You know when people say _”People today should read more books!”_ well, this isn’t what they meant.

The author needs to read more books to understand how to write a good romance novel and the reader needs to read more books to cleanse their eyes of the sin they have willingly witnessed
Yes it is. 😂
Magic eyes, magic 🐱 ..... how romantic!
tiktok has ruined peoples perceptions of what good writing is
I'm lowkey scared of the booktok community because I hear from vids reacting to the books that they recommend that theyre alot like this one and then I also saw a smut creator talking about how she had all of her book covers color coded based on what kind it was and made a whole set where the books are just one solid color to make it descret?? Idk it weirds me out
lol I remember when people said the same about tumblr a decade ago
I hate these super fancy, completely meaningless and often outright wrong descriptions. They're exactly what a 5th grader thinks good writing is. Also, they never fit the tone of the rest of the book, they feel so forced
m yes. i looked up the book on goodreads and somehow it has decent rating compared to some of my favorite books (whos author are like some of the most famous).

See now I wish this was a Choose-your-own-adventure where you could say “okay” and have Corvina drop the class within the first week and re-register for a different time slot with a different professor, ending the book early and getting the Good Ending.
This is such a good idea
Actually- GOOD IDEA.
Okayyyy
This should’ve been canon
YES!
"She is special" proceeds to describe generic copy and paste emo girl.
Just like other girls, so different
she’s not like the other girls 💀
she is NOT emo don't you dare disrespect the constant slay and swag of emo girls. Corvina is just a straight girl that thinks listening to Hozier makes her better than other people

I REALLY hate predatory relationships glamorized in books (happens in a lot of regular romance too??), but you made me laugh so much I could get through this horrible story
A lot of people say they hate stuff like this, but harlequin romances with the most cliché of masculine archetypes and sexual themes are still widely read by women nonetheless. If it really isn't something women like fantasizing about, there wouldn't be a market for it.
People liking doesn't make it not problematic. Media does not exist in a vacuum
@@kinrateia Exactly. It’s like Leonie says, the lack of consent from the protagonist and romanticization of a controlling man is what makes this kind of story dangerous, especially when he’s always blaming her for HIS attraction to her and his stupid “madness.” I don’t want to read stories like this at all but I know that some romance writers can depict how to have a sub/dom relationship that is healthy and consensual. GOTHIKA ain’t it
Exactly yes!!!!!
@@Hooga89 did you know that women are individuals and therefor have different opinions and likes and dislikes? the more you know!!!

The first time sounded pretty SA-ish ngl, she was like “this is my first time” and he just… Physically hurt her
yeah theres no way thats not abusive in some way. like, even if she enjoys it, a partner should NEVER say that they're a bad choice for a first time and do zero preparation. i dont like the teacher in this book and i dont like how he treats corvina sexually, but i hope he at least did aftercare. also she would definitely be bleeding at least a little after he just violently ripped through her hymen (unless she broke it earlier on in her life)
Even Christian Grey who “only fucks... made love” to her because it was her first time.
that was my first thought as well.
also the wohle „you‘re mine“ thing makes me uncomfortable

wait hang on sorry, as a forensics nerd, THAT'S NOT HOW DEAD BODIES WORK LMFAOOOO
"she died two years ago and then was burned post mortem some time in the last two months, probably to make her harder to identify."
bones. those are bones. that's not a corpse anymore, unless it's been carefully preserved or mummified, and considering the fact that it's in the woods, it seems highly unlikely that the body is just somehow mummified. also, it takes a LOT of effort to identify a body when there's just bones, especially if it's a partial skeleton. here we can assume that this is a full skeleton, and i have no idea how long of a gap there is between the discovery of the body and the identification, but like
even if the pool of potential victims is incredibly small because these are school grounds and there's only a handful of people that go missing, if even that, it would take them for-fucking-ever to even THINK that the corpse belongs to someone that's still alive? jade wouldn't even be on the LIST for potential victims. ain't no way
yes this is nitpicky but aaaaaAAAAAAAAAAGH it's just another example of how the author Doesn't Know How This Shit Works
Hello!!! That's so interesting, I am also an aspiring forensics nerd like you! Please teach me your ways 🙏
