Let's Talk About Love by Claire Kann has a biromantic-asexual lead, Before The Devil Breaks You and The King Of Crows by Libba Bray have an asexual lesbian character, Radio Silence by Alice Oseman has a demisexual character in a m/m relationship, and Every Heart A Doorway by Seanan McGuire has an asexual lead.

Oh, and The Lady's Guide To Petticoats And Piracy by Mackenzi Lee has an aro-ace lead (she's also a secondary character in The Gentleman's Guide To Vice And Virtue)

My friend read this book about a gay-ace guy and I haven't read it yet but can I get a hell yeah for asexual characters that have romantic attraction? I haven't seen a whole lot of ace rep yet at all, but when I do it seems like the ace character's always the "ew feelings gross" one.

What book?

@Pickles group

I want sex-repulsed ace characters because I feel lonely. Also a variety of ace characters that know their specifics. Like, the whosit I want sex but I don't feel sexual attraction ones and all the other stuff that really no one knows about

@Althalosian-is-the-father book

I want an ace fantasy protag dude. Why? Idk. But I want it.

Also Aro. Especially because anyone coming close to a Love Interest he will see and be like, "How nice. What a Nice Person. Wanna be friends?"

To quote a vine…
"Hahaha, I do that!"

I have a prince who's aro-spec (I don't know if he's aro or demi, he could be either) and he sees Lavinia and basically goes "you're brave and smart and I want to get to know you better, we can get engaged so I can get you into the palace because we need someone like you".

yes, but make him a knight or a magic man with something really cute and fun like a yoyo.
I want the aro-ace knight with a yoyo.

@HighPockets group

I have an aro-ace con artist and he basically just looks at the other characters and goes "ugh, fine, I guess I care about you guys a little."

I very much like.

@ElderGod-Icefire

I want more murder and mayhem in books where I'm supposed to get Murder and Mayhem!! (side note: The Queen's Assassin by Melissa de la Cruz promised murder and there wasn't any and the book was TerribleTM) Murder and Mayhem is my favorite thing and I don't get enough of it in books where it should be on every other page! (other side note: Ace of Shades by Amanda Foody has excellent murder and Mayhem)

@HighPockets group

(Melissa de la Cruz's books just tend to be mediocre at best…)

(ha well. I hadn't read any of her books before and I have Major Regrets)

(I liked Alex and Eliza well enough, but I dnf'd her other book that I tried. I saw the blurb for The Queen's Assassin and noped right out of there.)
