    Hi, so I don’t really know how to search for books based on tags, i don’t know if there’s a way to do it on goodreads.

    I was wondering if someone here could recommend me some books based on these requirements/tags (sorta like ao3):

    1) There has to be romance; i don’t mean necessarily smut, I just mean there has to be a love story

    2) The love story should not be the main plot though, I want an actual plot, possibly with some fantasy or sci fi elements. They can even be slight fantasys like “they both die at the end” which doesn’t really have much fantasy into the book other than the prompt

    3) the romance HAS to be gay, whether it’s two girls or two guys doesn’t matter. Just not straight stuff

    4) The found family’s tag is not a need but would be a huge plus

    5) The book shoud have action and a good flow, imagine “the golden compass” trilogy but gay. What I mean is I don’t want a cozy day to day story like “the house on the cerulean sea”, I read the book and found it really disappointing, both by the sheer simplicity of the writing but also by the slowness of the pace and i was bored out of my mind reading it.

    6) I love it when the main character has trauma, like past abuse or things like those.

    7) I love the damsel in distress trope. For those who don’t know, it’s when a character is in danger and their love interest comes save them. But I hate it when this trope gets turned into a spiel on how one of the characters is weaker than the other.

    8) no books narrated in first person, i just can’t stand them sorry.

    9) a slow burn (in the romance not in the actual plot (like i said in point 5 I don’t want the plot to be slow)) would be very appreciated

    10) I usually prefer books written by women but it’s not a requirement

    Technically point 4, 6, 7, 9 and 10 aren’t requirements but I usually love a book a little more if they’re there
