Meanwhile, my thread where I ask for a male MC falling in love with an older female has 0 SH novels. A couple of Japanese novels and an atrociously bad Chinese cultivation novel.
You don't write straight romance here. You are lucky if nobody read your work. If you are unlucky and get into trending, prepare to get downrated to hell.
Actually, it is more of a comment on how authors try to stand out with their story ideas yet end up being the same. This very simple idea that no one did on SH will make them stand out more than trying to write another 'realistic' lotr of something like that.
