Thoughts

I feel bad for the OG mc’s brother having to be given such bad options for love interests. I don’t know if it’s just me but the doctor is mid in my opinion. Like mid in looks and personality, he’s more of the other option other than the bro. Not saying I even like the bro either lol. Both options just seem not great either way.

I feel like this is a common theme where authors who write about a first couple make that couple the fluffiest a and have the least drama and issues. Then the next couple or work they do- they wanna experiment and try to write the most dramatic/toxic story in contrast to their first.

It happened in:
•Love on my terms (dramatic side couples)
•Heat and run (toxic second couple)
•fools then next work was love to hate
•heesu in class 2 next work was seeing double (cliche love triangle with drama)
•my housemate to steel under silk
•k’s secret, next honey trouble (had to ruin it by throwing in a love triangle in the middle of the story)
•crash into me, next within my shadow
•my purrfect boss, next placebo

I feel like these authors feel like they have to prove themselves that they can write more than just fluff or sweet stories, but end up writing worse stories by making it overly dramatic such as making the ML toxic or having love triangles. I genuinely believe GOOD writers are ones who are able to make the focus of the story the development between the main leads and just them alone without throwing in 2nd lead. Which is why I was pleasantly surprised to see that BJ Alex and Love Shuttle needed no 2nd lead or rivals at all but made the story about their relationship development and yet still found ways to make the story interesting without using other rivals as stepping stones for the main character’s relationships. Honestly I think artists should start hiring actual good writers than thinking up stories when their talent is mainly art only.
