thank you for the recs ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
I wouldn't say they're the say. Mutual pining implies that they'll get together (happy ending) and unrequited love usually means they won't get together, and is usually more associated with sad storylines/arcs
i see, that is a valid interpretation. personally, I think that unrequited love is when the mc has a love that they think will never be requited, until it is revealed in later chapters that the recipient of their unrequited love also developed/had feelings for them as well.
mutual pining, to me, is when we get to see both sides equally pining for each other, and know that they are in love with eachother.
Certainly unrequited love can be that. I think of that as more specifically unrequited love that turned out to be requited after all. And the difference between that and mutual pining is how much we, as the audience, see of the situation. But sometimes unrequited love stays unrequited. So if you're making lists then yeah it would make sense to put mutual pining and unrequited love (that becomes requited) together. And keep unrequited love (that stays unrequited) stories in a separate list
mutual pining is when both characters are pining for each other but they don't know that they're in love with each other, which creates tension.
unrequited love is when one character is in love with someone that definitely doesn't love them back.
should I put mutual pining and unrequited love in separate or the same list??? i mean they're basically the same thing. kind of.
