the trouble with romantasy being the hot trend in publishing rn is that most of the ppl cashing in are romance writers dipping their toes into fantasy rather than fantasy writers dipping their toes into romance and if you're not aware, romance readers are so infamously voracious that romance writers are expected to pump out 3-4 books a year just to keep them satiated and a writing and editing process on that kind of timeline is not necessarily condusive to well thought out worldbuilding and intricately crafted layered plotlines. which are, ya know, the things that people like about the fantasy genre
