Separation than realizing that life is not worth living without him and then finally conceding to harem.

That's reserved only for novels with a female demographic. Gotta look out for the bois who want wholesome vanilla romance.
And that's why I read Yuri. Chances are, its wholesome vanilla, and not some weird love triangle

Over-used Tropes (:sleep:):
• Love Triangle
• Lacking Communication
[Over-used Tropes that I only know.]

Provide a conflict and defend why it's good.
Having them begin to trust, cooperate, and work together to overcome obstacles. While keeping it slice of life.

When you make the type of conflict the focus, the story might become that of a drama.

As a SoL comedy enjoyer, my favorite type of 'conflict' comes from the overexaggeration of character types, mixed with day-to-day trivial issues that suddenly erupt into a minefield of enigma when our two characters meet.

I guess I'd call this 'trivial conflict'?

*inside* the relationship? Usually none or at least few.

The couple should be supporting each other against external issues. That's romantic.

Internal strife is usually just drama. Do not want.

Long-distance relationship
^

99% success to break a couple.
Nope~
External conflict all the way
Yep, as long its not a shitty cliche of "wow another girl suddenly enter the picture and flirt with MC"

I legit found a unknown manga/hwa (forgot which) where MC - FL become a couple, giga sweet, then end of ch1, BAM A GIRL ARRIVE AND HUG THE PROTAGONIST, [LOVE TRIANGLE]

When people try to get them together is romantic settings, despite the fact they are not interested in each other. Trying to escape those people is something they have in common, and forms a basis for a relationship. Of course, it is complicated by the fact they refuse to admit they are attracted to each other
