MasterRabbink wow... thanks for the warning I don't think I'd be able to handle that.
What is the Best Romance? Are You Writing A Romance?
Scarlettbunny Yeah, I've read Hidden Marriage, it's actually the reason why I landed upon this site.
I'll check out your story and then the stories you recomended. I'm pretty open to anything. Thanks!

caremel if you want a reference for romance:
Actual romance from decent male perspective as well(without fillers but only 4-5 chaps. Short novel)- mulberry song, our second young master
In standard xianxia/wuxia(from male perspective)- i would say novels like martial art master has more realistic romance.
In xianxia/wuxia(female perspective)- romance and plot execution in novels like the road to jianghu is curved would be better. This is because such genres should not have all romance. But you can also write novels like 'seven unfortunate lifetimes'.
Modern world- good morning miss ghost, or perhaps something like i heard you like me too.
my fave romance right now is empress running away with the ball, i love the MC and ML.
caremel wanna read my chapter 1? Mine is a romance and Action novel.
Recommending these two which are actually good for me. lol

And my original work
For me, a good romance is one that builds up the relationship of the couple over time. They will have their hardships and misunderstandings but it's normally in the interest of the other. A story that can take things past (and they kissed the end) also get a big recommend from me. Basically, don't assume that there town like another because one is the Mc and the other the next most important character and they looked at another for a little while.
I was originally not going to have romance in my work because it's done a lot and in most of the shows I have watched (I am an even anime watcher.) it all feel kind of samey. My friend convinced me however and it forced me to write one that I would be happy with. Now I feel it's one of the most compelling part of my story.
As for recommendations, since I'm super new here I can't help you but I feel Clannad after story is a good example of well-done romance.
DSNate You made me remember all the feels...
I got my second novel going if you enjoyed my first. My Way To You. Just 2 chapters in though

I mostly read romance novel in webnovel and I write romance too, I think you should put a lot of misunderstanding or miscommnunications in the story. I haven't been in a relationship but people around me tend not to open some things to their lover which causes misunderstandings. Some times, they even don't convey their feelings or needs that they end up breaking up.
I reccommend for you to read My youth began with him. It's good and you can clearly see the development of their relationship in the story. And 99th divorce.
Thank you for the suggestions. I'm actually reading My Youth Began With Him at the moment and I do enjoy it. I think both characters are interesting in the way that they clearly like eachother and something happened in their past that isn't easy to resolve. I haven't read 99th Divorce. I'll go check it out.

Hey, a fellow writer in love with the romance genre.
Do you want a modern one or fantasy?
Though misunderstandings are needed as foundation....
I recently wrote this one. If you can please read and point out any faults...It would help
My Flower, My Muse
https://www.webnovel.com/book/12147679506996305/My-Flower%2C-My-Muse
She was a drug that once ran into his veins, making him an addict.
He didn’t need a cure he knew he was beyond salvation.
He just needed her...
He is an artist and She was his Muse
His source for inspiration. Music just came to him in her presence.
He couldn't do without her.
SO...
He cut off her wings, in fear of her escape.
"Being your muse I forgot that I am an artist too."
Hi if you are interested in an urban romance novel set in a fictional middle eastern country where the ML is the royal prince, and the FL is an upcoming musician coming from very humble beginnings. The Arranged Marriage: The Prince and I is perfect for you. It is a type of modern Cinderella story. You can just try the first few chapters and leave some thoughts on who you found it. I would absolutely appreciate it! xoxo.
