It’s more frustrating than having a completely bland plot.ĭo you prefer stories without any romance in them? If you’re going to write a story with a subplot of romance, please don’t write it just to give a boring book some “drama” or “tension”. I like drama, but I hate that kind of drama. It’s also sometimes very unnecessary and just used to create drama. It can also introduce a very nice and very wonderful side character who makes the story better overall.īut sometimes having romance is super annoying because it’s not done well, and it makes the character become worse personality wise. Sometimes it adds to it and can help the character grow and become a better person. I actually hadn’t thought about it that way before, but I think it’s a logical explanation for why it happens, even if it can be frustrating at times.ĭo you think romance subplots take away from the main story, or add to it? Since books are based on our real lives with new stories, plots, and worlds, that romance element will spill into books as well. but at some point in your life, there usually is some sort of romantic situation that happens. Yes, you have a busy life, you’re the CEO of a major company, or a small bookstore owner, or a student, etc. I think it’s the most common subplot because in real life, that is the most common thing that happens to people.

Why do you think romance is the most common subplot?
