extremely tepid take here but I'm a little tired of people who clearly don't like the genre they're in trying to 'remix' those genres lol
No more 'elevated' horror, no more of whatever this is with romance.
You have missed the point of the genre!! All of it!! The whole thing!!

I keep seeing comments from people adapting romance novels or starring in the adaptations and saying that the ending of these shows (there's more than a few I've seen) should have the MC end up alone and 'find herself' and I'm like, THEN WHY ARE YOU ADAPTING A ROMANCE IF YOU HATE ROMANCE?!?!?!
two men are talking to each other and one of them says that 's not how it works

Anyway, in 2010 I challenged myself to read more books by Filipino authors and managed to find them, including romance books in English. It’s been 15 years (!) and I’m barely keeping up with my Filipino romance TBR. My 2010 book blogger self would be thrilled.

The real problem we Filipino authors face is this, the persistent narrative that our books are rare, and have to periodically be discovered by knights in shining armor.
The reality is that we've been here for over a decade, but some people never buy/read us (until they rebrand as our champions).

“I realized that when we talk about romance, it’s rare to find books in the Philippine context.”
Hahahaha saying that in the year of the Lord 2025 is definitely a ✨ choice. ✨
