I will say, mixing in some books with more depth outside the romance genre every few books can be good for you and very enjoyable. Just like something like a Hugo winner (A Memory Called Empire was great) or something widely acclaimed (I'll always recommend Tamsyn Muir and Brandon Sanderson) or even a classic (LeGuinn is awesome).

Yeah the classic sci fi authors absolutely wrote women terribly, I'm dreading starting Dune despite knowing I'll like it for that reason.

That said, yeah reading at all is better than not
