Which is why I'm going under an alias. Bucket O'Hare it is!Women likes tons of sexual fucked up shit they separate as romance and it makes me escape from Earth lolol.
If you have an interesting story or a parody sense of humour ideas even I would write a dark romance novel but who and why anyone would read it other than something interesting and parody is the actual question.
Those who are interested in this BS loves to gain POV from another women so they can adjust their life, just day dream as the main woman character for "fun", but if the novel written by a man they can still be curious about "how fucked up men's mind can be" but they can be cringed for how a man trying to emulate how a woman is which is fundamental problem for writers. Not many writers can write realistic opposite sex characters which is one of the reason why, for example, Harry Potter books are cringy. The woman writer could never write realistic male characters. So your challenge is not being able to write a decent "dark romance novel", it is being able to write realistic woman character that won't make the reader stop reading even cursing at your aunt, you managing to write this woman character in the realistic woman POV to tell the story. If you cannot do that whole point of dark romance gets pointless.
There is also the indication of this: Any fiction targets women actually rather intentionally or not have unrealistic male characters. Again Harry Potter is an example. Instead of how men actually are these are fictional male sex that can only exist in a woman's fiction because it's how they believe men are and how they want men to be. This indicates your 2nd challenge is being able to write unrealistic male characters in the way women believe this is how men are and the men types they want. Unless you studied psychology by diving deep into neurology, biology and genetics it is really hard for you to write a women's fiction without being a woman but good luck on being able to come up with characters and situations a woman would wanna experience in the safety of a fiction lol. But I have one tip: The only thing in the novel has to be realistic is the women characters but they cannot be realistic if you follow stereotypes. You may follow MBTI for "safe bet" as tons of writers does to make characters seem realistic and to avoid stupid social stereotypes. Oh and another tip: Women likes to see personality types in fiction that is based on real-life personality types from Big 5, zodiac types, MBTI and even blood types because they tend to study such stuff. And then last thing about it is the "cringe" part. What women likes may be cringe for a man but without this cringe it cannot be "dark fantasy novel".
comes to mind 
I can't remember the right name but its probably better that way.
Has been embraced*
Not gonna lie...
I'm reading these while my bite my lips until I bleed.
This sounds amazing tbh
Tame??¿¿¿Tame???!!!! I watched 50 Shades of BS for its memes and ended up puking lol. And then we have Saltburn at home and it has the wildest women fantasy sexual shit I ever witnessed SMH when I thought the 3 women talking about covering some celebrity man's body in chocolate and licking it until the end in a random forum would be the wildest women fantasy I would ever witness!!! lolol
As a amateur writer that is still trying to release a novel, I say GO FOR IT, MAN! :V
As a girl myself, I really don't understand the hype dark romance gets. Most of these "books" are awfully written and basically the plot always revolves around a woman with Sctockolm syndrome
. Fun fact, in 2023 Algeria's most readed author was detroned by Sarah Rivens because of her "Captive" series. These are really badly written and problematic but people read them anyways. I'm in high school, and have multiple friends who read that kind of thing so I assume that the actual audience of dark romance must be pretty young. And I'm afraid that some people start to normalize some of the crazy stuff written in here because of that. So yeah, that's my opinion on dark romance, and I hope that you'll write something original, that won't be too cringe OP. Good luck 
It's K-Drama lol
That's one thing I'm glad about significant reasons for human behaviour is not because of the sex people have, that's why enjoying dark romance novels can be a woman thing or not yet it's normal that if a woman has no interest in such stuff too. However sometimes X is popular among certain group of people just because it is how a group assosiate themselves with, and it can be country-specific culture too. For example in my country people give importance to reading books and women tend to read crime-thriller instead. I can't imagine people here reading any erotic and dark fantasy novels here. But if in a country reading such books is "how women are in general" then it decides the way of living a group of people have like how in some countries being a man associated with having immense interest in soccer and such lol.As a girl myself, I really don't understand the hype dark romance gets. Most of these "books" are awfully written and basically the plot always revolves around a woman with Sctockolm syndrome
And then men also wrote a lot about the love that wasn't unrequited and it's very popular among men who had such experiences. It's not manly to read about happy successful romance characters living!!! Manly men listens enka songs about "unrequited love" while they drive their decorated trucks while they drive everywhere to mountains, volcanos, swamps and deserts!!!!
