It is AMAZING to me how many people are so eager to talk about how much they hate romance.
seriously. I'm astonished by the unthinking ease of your condemnation of the biggest and most profitable genre out there.
And I can't help but think about how the romance genre is a genre that is mostly written by women, and mostly read by women.
Thank you!! Although this is a fantasy site, so I doubt many here read romance, which one needs to do a lot of in order to understand it's not just kissy this flirty that. There are real emotional journeys with real consequences and impact for characters. 50% of all books sold are in the romance genre (which include the different subgenres like fantasy, sci fic, mystery, etc. There is no romance category under other genres. If the story's main plot is about two people falling in love and staying together forever, then it's genre romance no matter what the setting or catch is).
