exactly. that's why i dislike romance in shounen.
Can you explain it more i don’t get why characters like Tess isn’t a good female lead/love interest . I also don’t get why people don’t like small romance in these types of story’s. It’s not the main focus, it’s just something to add for spice to the story. That’s just my opinion ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
I wasn't talking about Tess, I don't read the novel and have no idea how the romantic subplot is going to be like, so that's why my title is "Out of topic" because it's not about this manhwa.
I was talking about how so many comments before me saying that they'll drop the manhwa if there's romance involved. And all I wanted to say is that, romance subgenre in shounen is not a bad thing. There's no need to hate or drop a manhwa/novel just because it has few hints of romance in it. What's bad is how most shounen authors don't know how to execute 'romance' properly. They're more interested in making their male MCs look cool instead of having them communicate or making an effort to understand their relationship with female characters. Authors just want their female characters to suddenly like the MC for no valid reason and doesn't try to justify why they're falling for someone. Authors portray these girls like they're trophies or some sort of prizes to be won. Like collecting pokemon or something. That's why most harem shounen are all about various stereotypes of girls like the tsundere-girl, the shy-girl, the best-friend, the ice-princess etc.. and none of them have character development, because their job is to only either fawn over the MC or be weak in order for MC to save them.
Ooh i get what you mean now, thank you for explaining
There's nothing wrong with romance subplot in a shounen. If done properly, it could be a good storyline and character progression for both leads. The only reason most people hate it is because most authors are incapable of making good female leads so they end up either a burdensome damsel-in-distress, or straight up annoying and clingy. Don't blame the characters, blame the authors. Especially authors who don't respect their own characters and made the female heroines only to flatter the MC's ego.
