I really would prefer if the series has a Male Protagonist (I know that's kinda rare, but I can dream). I'd also hope that the romance is at least a relatively central part of the story and isn't just something the author writes for the sake of it, or the author takes 50 books before there is any semblance of romance that happens. And then my last picky thing is that, if not completed, then at least the series is relatively far along in its story, I don't want to get invested and then have to wait 10 years before completion.
I know I'm picky, and there are probably not many books that exist in this niche, but I appreciate any and all suggestions; thank you!
