i havent read the novel but im assuming romance is something that spurs his character just like his feelings towards his family. also if the whole story is just him defeating monsters over and over again, itll get really repetitive so adding characters that appear more often than not creates a different atmosphere/vibe. i heard you just gotta wait for it because its not what everyone thinks its going to be
I think romance in this would be unnecessary. It always ruins it for me. No offense
