The problem with having a FL is that most authors think that women are timid or something. This makes them write the FL as so. That makes the book pretty garbage because I hate that in some novels the FL lets themselves be walked all over. It's displeasing. I'd rather not read that. On the off chance the FL is strong, it's a face-slapping novel. I've grown out of those so long ago and would not like to go back.
The best FL (with story to match) are only found in romance novels which may not be everyone's cup of tea.
