I have a hot story idea but I'm not a writer so im just brainstorming
          	
          	We have the concept of Cupid, but what about an Anti Cupid?
          	A story *inspired* by Greek mythology. Maybe the Anti Cupid is the twin brother of Eros, both children of Aphrodite.
          	Eros is the god of love but his brother is a darker counterpart who represents obsession, possessiveness, and unhealthy desire. The lore goes something like this: Eros was born from the healthy and genuine aspects of Aphrodite's love life, while the Anti Cupid was born from the selfish desires and lust that drove her many affairs.
          	Let's just say Aphrodite wasn't fond of him because he was a living reminder of her own flaws. So she abandoned him in a temple on an isolated island and placed a curse on it so he could never leave (Cheesy backstory ik)
          	YN meets him hundreds of years later in that temple. (idk how she got there. Maybe she's travelling?)
          	
          	-Y/N becomes friends with the lonely god.
          	-The Anti Cupid eventually falls in love with her.
          	-Then Y/N leaves without warning because of some emergency (some misunderstanding is required for the plot)
          	-The anti cupid is heartbroken and that fuels him to break the curse 
          	
          	years later he finally finds her and MAKES ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT SHE CANNOT FIND LOVE . If she starts liking someone, he manipulates things so they cheat on her, ghost her, or leave her ( yes hes an arsehol)
          	
          	Then he enters her life POSING AS THE ACTUAL CUPID and promises to help her find love. Except he's a complete scammer who wants her to depend on him.

@PotatoSunie YES. I hope to make a few proper illustrations to include in special chapters!! while Im pondering about each scene, I make lil doodles of the characters saying the dialogue in chat bubbles which helps me imagine the scene better! Do u have any tips for the yandere aspect tho? I have worked on minor things here and there but am completely lost on how to portray his yandere-ness. Like, how do you shift from the non yandere scenes that act as buildup, to the yandere ones without it feeling... rushed or shallow? Or rather whats harder is how Y/N deals with it afterwards, I wanna make her oblivious but unnerved by it just enough for the plot to continue till the big arc without trading off her intelligence

Why are wattpad book recs on the lower sections so random like they have to be a totally different genre compared to the types of books i read and sometimes the entire language is different

PotatoSunie

Pro tip(?): click on the tags with rankings to find newer books of the same type and check out ur fav author's reading lists once in a while
