Wabbitz no you are right. It is the journey itself that makes writing so enjoyable. Honestly everyone has bittersweet love story to them. Especially itf it's their first love (unlike my cousin who started dating at 12 and married her first boyfriend 13 years later. They're still together another 12-14 years later could be more.) And sometimes we want to reminisce on that time but mine sucked big time. Got heartbroken twice and never want to travel that road again.
What are people looking for in a romance novel?
Scarlettbunny hi... I am writing romance too... Nice to meet you~~ I think, most readers search for hot scenes. TT_TT which that me too very bad at that. You can check it out. Just pick some that most popular in romance category.
Kodokijo add a link I would love to read. What I find hard with hot scenes is if I make it too hot it's p0rn.
Scarlettbunny I'm currently writing https://www.webnovel.com/book/10672212005098605/Macha's-Journey Macha's Journey and have sex scenes in my book. I did not think of them as smut, but while talking with a few other authors I realized that it was. I wrote to be descriptive and that is what it was. There is a fine line I guess between smut and just a hot sex scene...

Wabbitz yes, this differs on the country too. Like in Japan it is more acceptable to have that bittersweet ending or have that romance that is a coming of age thing. While in the US they prefer a happy fairytale ending.
BabyTanuki see and I waited till my MC's were 18 before I did hot scenes. It felt more legal if I did.
MasterRabbink You wut m9...Harem isnt liked by all males ...especially me ...YOU DARE ASSUME
Astolfo_My_Waifu bwahahahaha you're awesome. But master means a broad range of men like harem and honestly there is a good chunk of women.
How about we start with a normal moral male mc. Love doesn't start with rape. Romance is built on respect for the other person and does not go into great detail about there physical attractive Ness. There plenty of attractive women in that crappy stories filled with smut.
Make it slice of life slow with lots of mistakes like a real romance.
rustic I am taking my time with it. I originally joined the writing contest but it turned into my baby and I want to see it grow. Honestly it has and I'm so happy people are reading just I want it to reach out to more and hopefully inspire people, you know send a message that no matter what situation your in just do what you can and push through.
BUT at the same time I have fun characters mixed in, that normal people would never find in real life.
Edmond is one of my favorites. A flirtatious bisexual assassin who falls in love later on in life but acts like a school boy when around her. Is also bound by a contract to follow MC's parents orders but she treats him more like family then anything else.
Wabbitz it will be one that was remembered over those romances that ended more typical.
Perhaps this Rabbink is different. Move on is my method against bad ending. Gwahahaha.
Astolfo_My_Waifu Not All.
Scarlettbunny Woman too? Reverse Harem?
rustic Agree with this. Rape is bad. It always made a novel had lower rating. Check Novel Updates, nobody says "WOOOOW!!! It has Rape. You have read this!"
Every reviews cursed them! For author, Rape is 'rating' destroyer.
I avoid MGA because of the Rapist MC rumor in forum.

Held against will. Raped. Murdered. Comes back in time to change her fate but still stay with the guy who murdered her. One of the top ones read.

Was raped. Gave birth to dead son (so she thinks) falls in love with her rapist. -> honestly one of my favorites. Rape is one of it's tags. BUT these are very simple summarys I swear there is a lot more to them.
Scarlettbunny Both are the romance that this Rabbink can't get into somehow. Perhaps my value. Lol.
What about this one? Heh. >///< posts and runs

iHeart_u it went to the home page
The complete destruction of its genre here on webnovel.
FilledWithHope for someone who is called filled with hope you're asking for the destruction of the romance genre?! Is that an oxymoron?
Scarlettbunny
That sucks. Heh. I don't know what's wrong. When I click the link, it works fine. XD
iHeart_u I found it another way I saw your post that you made in the forum
People obviously look for romance on a romance novel......
