    My novel features two male leads: a street thug, beautiful as a woman, but too wild and straightforward, with a distinctly masculine personality, and a fondness for gentle women. The romance is developing very slowly. The first and second male leads haven't even sparked a connection yet, and the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth male leads haven't even appeared. Today I discovered that my novel has been changed to a fantasy romance by the editor. If I don't request a tag change, and the story progresses to become a dual-male-lead novel later on, will the editor change the tag again?
