I'm dissing Webnovel itself. Why in the heck did it decide to term my Fantasy book as 'Fantasy Romance'? I did not add a tag for romance, I have no plans to include romance in the story. Is it because the main character is female? Does that automatically constitute romance in their eyes? If so, god that's stupid. I just like writing female main characters because I rarely see good ones in online novels. Not once should that auto-translate to wishing to write romance.

Not to look down on Romance, however, but now when people see my book they'll likely go "Wow, it's just some romance fluff." And move right along.

The book is here, and you can check the genre it's set as yourself: https://www.webnovel.com/book/17072006206492305/Rose-Against-The-Heavens

FIX IT - They need to not oversimplify genres so much and, even if they do so, atleast allow the author to choose the correct one. Female-Lead != Romance.

    LotsChrono It's not a bug on Inkstone. They implemented a new system where FL novels are not categorized as romances any longer. (Read about the announcement here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BiYrpNsE_TuHh-NS4LiAcM7PwXsX752L/view) but for some reason, the rest of the platforms are just very slow at updating to remove the "romance" genre on everything. (If you go in the Explore section of the app Browse tab of the site, it won't say romance, but in the actual novel info itself, it'll still be categorized as romance.)

    Removed the Inkstone bug tag.

        yaoyueyi Oh never-mind, thought you told me to remove the tag from the post—by you already did it. My bad.
