While I do understand your feelings of not wanting to read something involving a genre you’re not in the mood for, I still believe the did the right thing not putting romance in the genre for this one. I would say this story is mainly the adventure, action, fantasy it proclaims to be with a very subtle romance forming in the background. If a story like this were to list romance among its main genres, the romance fans would flock to it and be extremely disappointed in how much the story actually focuses on it. Might be more appropriate to just leave it as one amongst many tags and check out the tags that people add to stories in the future.
Now have you heard of a story called Trash of the Count’s family? I’m hundreds of chapters in the novel and can guarantee you that webtoon focuses solely on “found family” and the only romance to be found is fanfiction written by shippers. It’s ongoing so can’t guarantee it will never have romance show up but we’re like 900 chapters in the novel so I’m highly doubtful it will.
Thank you for your comment no I'm I get it some webtoons have it, but sometimes authors just heavily drown it that it's too much, and I just dropped the story, it might have been a good story, but now you've put so much romance in it. Then I kind of get bored, and I want to get out, you know, so I personally like it, if there's a tag that says, this has romance in it, so that I'll be prepared, because most of the time, not every author knows how to do it, but when some do they do it right, you know. Then I'll be ok, but I like the hype, I like the action, I like the adventure, but don't get super soppy with me like here's a example nano machine, I know some people say it's still good, I just I don't know what it is, but they put romance in it, and my first reaction was like, oh, my God, not again. But then I said to myself, no, give it a try, you never know, and I did try, God knows I did, but then I just couldn't take it anymore, and I just dropped it, that's why I say, maybe it's my preference, maybe I don't like the whole romance thing, there are certain stories that I love romance in, but there's just some that I just don't want to see romance at all. But anyways, let me stop rambling, thank you again for your comment, I really wanted to know other people's opinion and not just criticize me based on my own opinion, but thank you for answering.
I totally get it because while I’m open to any genre, I hate when it feels like the entire genre changed mid story so definitely no judgement here
I said it once and I'll say it again, if you're gonna put romance in a story, manga, manwhua, or webtoon. Please put it in the genre, please then I'll be prepared, but if you just dropped the bomb of romance, where I didn't ask for it, I only wanted action adventure and you're gonna put romance in it because people ask for it I'll be pissed.
