This may be a dumb question I’m just a little worried because I don’t really know how to market a fantasy series that’s got basically no romance. Every fantasy I see recently is either mainly a romance or has a big romance b-plot. I don’t wanna sound like I’m looking down on that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with romance, but it’s just not really what I enjoy writing most of the time and I don’t wanna add it just to gain more readers. My main character is aroace, and the relationships that are focused on the most are the platonic or familial ones between them and the people traveling with them. There is one who’s married but his husband isn’t around much, and there is a couple but them being a couple isn’t super important, especially in the first book. One of the later books has a couple small romances between members of the party and less major characters, but there’s no strong, overarching, developing romance b-plot and I worry that’s gonna affect how many people want to read it. I know there’s a huge market for that stuff I just don’t really want to write it, I like focusing more on the fantasy world and the characters’ development. I don’t know if what I’m writing will appeal to people and I am shallow enough to care at least a little about that.
