Male Archetypes:
Boy Next Door- pure, sweet, and unassuming
Bad Boy - also known as the Rebel or adventurer
Protective Alpha - leader, overprotective, they have a quiet strength that can be comforting
Funny Guy -using humor to mask their true feelings, creating a charming, yet guarded, facade.
Cocky Billionaire- rich and powerful, they're often lonely and searching for genuine connection, despite their wealth (🖕 Christian Grey)
Tortured Hero- mysterious and emotionally intense, they hide their pain behind a stoic facade.
Female Archetypes:
The Girl Next Door- sweet, kind, and relatable
The bad girl- Rebel, strong, independent woman who challenges societal norms
The Damsel - character who is often in need of protection or rescue, often a result of some trauma or challenging event...
The Powerful Woman - in a position of authority (business or politics)
The Romantic - character who is deeply in love and willing to do anything for their love.
So which one are you and which one are you choosing to start your romance novel ?(can be any of them - male or female)

Of course, it's a romance novel after all. |

If the romance novel is truly aimed at women, usually yeah 💜"
That's a bit confusing for my male brain ...why does romance require a serial Killer for you ladies? 👀 |

"I'm the stunningly handsome sidekick who always gets overlooked by the women because I'm not as heroic as the lead role"
...but ultimately gets the girl, because the hero is a bit of a dick (and probably fab straight 👀) |

We like a walking red flag 🚩 in our smut 😜
“Touch her and die”
“Enemies to lovers”
“Power and possession”
“Fuck it”
“Who hurt you”
“Captivity and redemption “
“Dark past”
“Crawl to me”
Help me out ladies, my brain has gone blank on the other typical dark tropes

Because it's fantasy 🤷🏻♀️ and sometimes you like to fantasise about stuff you might not want in real life. It's exciting. |

Ooh while we are talking serial killers, my favourite trilogy put me off Orzo pasta for a very long time |

The d*unken debaucher that is largely played for laughs but “plot twist” turns out to be a hidden master swordsman or mystical powerhouse,
Constantly at risk from the vengeful wrath of the Queen of the land (due to her broken heart and unsatisfied needy slit obviously) I walk the land bedding bar wenches and farmers daughters whist carrying out random acts of unwillingly heroism.

I'm none of them
I'm the woman who wants a drama free life with a man who doesn't need a social secretary or a cook/housemaid
Our story would start when we met over a common interest, we would discover we were both solvent, able to navigate our lives successfully alone but were keen to share each other's company. The novel would be brief and probably very uninteresting  |

Luckily for me I'm not looking for romance. I fear I'd be sadly disappointed |

I'll be the broody goth chick who despises all the normies. Oh, and who has a particular secret, that she'd like to share with the hot best friend of the dickish leading guy, if only she could get him alone after dark. Maybe a moonlight walk, or a picnic in the cemetery?
🧛🏻♀️ |

The geeky good girl librarian by day with a dark secret at night.
I’m going with succubus…
She’s secretly in love with the local headmaster, but can’t be with him because she’d kill him.
It’s a tragic tale  |

"I don't read romance novels, but I would 💯 read some of these!"
Mate these are getting good...there's a goblin lady and an old lady that steals husbands from wifes and a librarian succubus and a seagull named Jonathan 😮...this has the potential to be one of the all time greats |
