@sigmoder Two things, 1) anime really softens their image because most are "pure". 2) I still think the real deal is hot, not going to apologize for that.
@FootSnuggler@AraAlessia While I might not be against it, I can see it being impossible to ignore something that's actively a part of your player character if that was the case, especially since it's kind of a self-insert
NOTHING, I repeat: NOTHING is worse than getting attached to a rom-com anime where you realize after 10 episodes that the slowburn tension is actually that annoying cliché of offering nonsense reasons for the characters to self sabotage being together
I swear 99% of slowburn romances would end in one episode if the main characters just had an honest conversation without getting interrupted
@AraAlessia Look I love Nisekoi, but they literally did that just to end by c*ckblocking us by censoring their kiss (also I think it's about the exact 10 year anniversary of that happening)
@Voyenik It's why there's so much teen romance that goes beyond regions (anime, YA novels, etc.). It turns out the one you should get married to is the one you saw everyday for hours, go to their house and see how they live, etc. To see how you both lived without the context of romance.
@Voyenik It's also because we didn't have as much easy travel. You'd grow up with your age group, get to know who you do and don't like, and get married going into adulthood instead of moving of to college to "find yourself" with a bunch of new strangers.
