Quantity vs. Quality
The explosion of quantity in romance literature has not translated into an equal rise in quality. Some stories do have serious literary merit and perhaps are even written by accomplished, published writers using pseudonyms to avoid having their commercial name associated with salacious material. However, the sheer numbers of romance stories now being written and archived means the majority will be average or below-average in quality. The advantage of such quantity is that people with a very specialised sexual taste can find at least some fiction that caters for their taste. Simple rating systems can help a site’s user base to rate stories for quality.
