When a logically inevitable excessively good thing like the main couple noticing their love for each other & kissing*

happen 'too quickly' ~ the sensei just jettisons the very concept outta fear the story would "climax" too early (because in their dumb lil brain, they think a truly dramatic romance must wait til the very end rather than be happy immediately)

or when based on the hero's thought capacity he could efficiently figure something out & solve the issue in a jiffy

they drag it out & create a 'dramatic' annoying farce instead

What?

 

[Representing_Tromba]

I'm having a hard time understanding based on your description. Could you explain in more detail?

Well, it depends on the purpose of the author for the story. However, as an author myself, getting into the 'good parts' without proper build up feels forced and is jarring to read. Hence we write 'build ups' until the climax so that the readers would appreciate more the 'best parts', leading to a more satisfactory reading experience.

Though, as a reader, I sometimes agree. Authors who keep delaying the 'inevitable good part' should cease to exist XD

TL:DR -

"Some authors are too afraid to dial the love of the couple up in fear that people will perceive it as the climax of the relationship (ergo, no possible room for further development).

The same can be extended to heroes who are purposefully lobotomized to keep things 'interesting' (although if one needed to do this then maybe don't make an OP mc in the first place). Authors afraid of this should just ?."

 

[ThrillingHuman]

I understand the individual words and sentences but overall you lost me

 

[LilRora]

It's all about balance. You need to have dramatic tension to keep the readers engaged, but at some point it becomes dramatic enough that the 'dramatic' becomes the new normal and people lose interest.

Would Lord of the Rings be as good if it was a 25k word short story and they just rode the Eagles to destroy the ring?

Would My Hero be as good if Midoria just got his powers then instantly beat All for One?

Would ...

The point is, good things without trials and effort are the equivalent of reading a motivational poster. Repeated good things aren't interesting or entertaining for long because you have no comparison to make.

There are series where the story starts off with a good thing, but then moves in to the new trials and tribulations of that (see My Love Story/Ore Monogatari). Constant good things though are boring.

Reading this is how I imagine trying to remember SCP-055 feels like.

For me, the realization of love isn't the climax, it's an excuse. As an author, after realizing the love for each other, its the excuse to open up new writing perspectives. Like how two people have different opinion on one thing, a couple can share their differences and reach an understanding.

There is a strange thing which many people don't really understand. An elusive power calls the "Power of Love". After the confirmation, you could show them match each other better than before. For example, one person would give out orders to the other in battle before engaging the enemy, but after love, they could not just speak at all to show how much more compitable and relaxed they are around each other.

As for what I think is the climax of the love story? The wedding or having a baby. Wedding is the commitment two people have for each other, agreeing to work together for a better life and be closer to one another. A baby is the physical proof of their union, nothing much more climax than literally climaxing to have a child lol.

But i'm sayin that buildup can be done nicely even if you jump early & fuck if you wanna jump early & fuck

it just might be more difficult in writing than sensei dares challenge

 

[ACertainPassingUser]

Btw, Jarring part in the story isn't that bad as long as you write them properly.

It's not like sudden "Very Good event" with no warning or build up is unrealistic. It usually happen lots of time in our live, and usually were just too surprised and stupefied due to how startling the event was. It's like the news were too good, it feels abnormal and bad.

It took time to react to those news and lots of assessment of current situation before were able to become happy or joyful in the situation.

The author's job is to properly Write those part to inform audience to make them slowly realize how good the situation suddenly is, and not to just summarize into "Fortunately, something good happen Yippie~".

And realistically, most people only realize the "Very Good Moment" after reflecting and reminiscing the event afterwards.

Those are certainly paragraphs you have written.

Some people think my story has the opposite problem.

Having good things happen as soon as possible = natural selection

It's obviously necessary building the thing you enjoy before you can enjoy it

But the argument's that if you can enjoy it while you build it (you have already made some) it's inevitable that you must

It cannot be built any more, you cannot exist anymore---unless you partake in your greatest desire.

So unless my weeb is rusty OP means Peuwuple that don't make their shoujinkou icha icha hayai should meet kowai desu (in katakana), right?

Gotta love how the Jappy Nippos have 3 different sets of letters, at least 4 different forms of speaking, a few hundred honorifics and more than a few dialects nobody but a few locals even understand...

While I agree that padding obvious pairings with needles arcs of will-they-wont-they can be annoying, there's a certain tendency for authors to want a happily everafter for their main characters at the end of their story, not at the beginning. Resolving the relationship troubles too early without introducing new ones leads to what I would call Dating Sim Syndrome, a long sequence of fluff (and smut) that's only there because it could be forced down the throat. Unless you're writing pure fluff (and even then) there needs to be some sort of conflict be it internal or external to keep the reader (and author) invested.

Relationships are different for everyone, and the same can be said for characters in a story. Some people will make it so the characters will have to confess before they ever kiss, and for others a confession will never come (yet they will kiss anyway). I have no problem with how an author wants to write their love story, but I won't read a story with an overly dense protagonist. It makes me physically ill. A little dense is fine, but if they literally confess their love for the MC and MC is still clueless, I will probably have conniptions.
