Romance but I don't like it

[Deleted member 45782]

1 can't do that, boring character is part of story
2 again, can't do that. Both characters think they are not in love.
3. There are no goals other than the day to just end
4......

Alright, so what is the story you wanna make then? We can't give any good advice bc we don't know exactly what it is and how it will roughly play out.

Just... give them something like a divine inspiration if you don't wanna change the tone. XD

Wow...............wha?
Well, that's kinda hard for me. Mostly because I can't think of any situation that requires one comforting other. Also, unfortunately, I have to go deeper into dialogs..which I kinda don't want to, since I have to shift the tone when the transition from friends to lovers come.. For now, I'll write a tsundere for my one shot so that I don't have to worry about the dialogs.

Between two cooperate slaves. Both go for office as soon as they wake up and go for bed as soon as they return. The only lovey lovey thing they can do is to sleep while hugging each other. MMC gets in an accident and gets amnesia. FMC realises that MMC would be living a great life if he would had a normal girl instead of her who can't do anything for him.

I can do that. Just some bystanders saying -just get married already. Right?

Have them contemplate their life choices.

So how does it go? Does she leave him so he can't forget about her and move on, and maybe find someone else?

Or does she stay with him for maybe helping him out atm, since his mind is kinda down and he needs someone to help him out for now until he is truly recovered and then she leaves? And then by the time he recovered, he remembers her or he kinda knows its her treating him good since he got his memory back a lot earlier than she expected and both of them realize that they still love each other?

 

[CadmarLegend]

it's very easy just remember any of your own insecurities and then something which made you feel better (something someone said or you read online). and then just copy paste that as a dialogue.

IDK make girl give a speech about trapped in body but free mind or some shit.

Copy&paste is life.

Yeah, that's a part but doesn't help much in romance. The MMC has just got his head knocked out. Won't make much sen5if he got philosophical.

Second part but not almost. The MMC never remembers. The FMC tries to make MMC hate him but can't since she loves him. The MMC falls in love with FMC again, but FMC rejects saying that the man she loved is dead and MMC is just nothing but a delusion she has. By delusion, I don't mean hallucinations, but that he is not the man he used to be and just has the same face.

Divine inspiration!

Oooh. That's helpful. There are tons of ways that can happen. Glimpses, dreams, books and friends.

Copy&paste is life.

That's what takes us through online schools.

Hmmm...

So something like this?

Romance...well depends on the perspective and style.
Like you can romanticize romance or make it crudely realistic.
Unless you want to go to the really corny and cringe side,
Oh romeo my love when will you come back?

My dear Juliet, let it be known that my love has no time or end because I shall always be with you.
XD

ergh, im really contemplating to comment because i totally forgot the term.

you see, there's this image published in the newspaper on the 70s, the image is about "what if cows is the one who designed farming equipment" i really forgot the title. but on that image it showed that the cow standing in front of a table with 4 kind of unknown equipment.
one of it is obviously a rake, but the other 3 is totally unknown in whether the purposes or how to holding it.

what was that about? it's about the one who saw that image back then start debating and assuming, on the meaning behind those equipment design and how the cow using it. it's kind of raging at the time and make you amazed how far human imagination could be. until many years later the one who draw that image finally confess: he just made the other equipment he draw as a random doodling without any meaning, but the one who saw it interpret it as something else but the theory is so interesting so he didn't say anything about it.

what does it have to do with romance you talking about? the methods.

if you didn't like romance and have no interest of writing it. then don't. JK rowling is a popular author. reader demands the romance at her story so she wrote it at her novels due to the reader demands, the result is: very hazardous.

just wrote the situation when two chara are together while you giving a very subtle hint on how close they are. just imagine the timeframe and purposely make some of them to have some cavity on it. that way the reader would be have no choice to fill the gap themselves with their imagination. so when the reader told you about their theory about what happened between some character, all you need to do is nods sagely, praising their theory, then walk away as if the amazing theory itself is actually happened.

I plan the Male lead to be like that, the romeo kind.

But it is an important part of the plot. As much as I don't want to, I can't deny that I would be stealing a great dealing of character's past if I don't include this.

I was happy when I didn't knew my work could be reported for plagiarism, but yes, kinda like that.

Ah srry, maybe I shouldn't have shown it. Ignorance is bliss sometimes (probably why I hesitate to read a lot, I might bump into some that share my similar ideas). Just wanted to show you maybe how to write a story base on that perspective, like the real story one.

But write whatever you will. A lot of concepts have already exist since we have been around for 300k millennia or some. What matters most is how we write the perspective and give it our own voice sprinkled in with the the fresh take/spin in like the itty bitty details. ;)

Good luck on your writing.

So, well, as the title say, I need some tips writing romance. The thing is, I have no interest in reading it. Even the ones I have read for research are...well, they don't link to me. As far I can see, it's just going on a few dates and writing lines like-my hearts beating so fast, what is this feeling. I am not saying romance genre sucks, I am saying that I don't have any interest in it.
Nevertheless, I do want to include it.
So, I know it sounds stupid and selfish, but is there any way to write it without actually me reading romance?

listen mate if you want to do a PROPER romance you bite that goddamn bullet like the rest of us and put in the effort to research, mkay? Like i dont mean to sound harsh but thats the only way.

You dont have to read romance stories but you do have to at least read SAMPLES of them.

Now if you want a shittily written romance, thats fine just keep doing what you're doing. No one said it had to be good.

Tho now that i think of it...Surely youve seen romance in TV shows? Take from there. I dont believe youve never been exposed to any kind of romantic subplots at all.

Thank you. But I'll think it will take about an year before that story is planned out.

Geez, I have researched, okay. I just said I am not the kind to understand romance. I can't include any subplots since the main plot is that both Male and female lead are too busy to do anything.
