I don’t mind a minor romance plot in the midst of a story; however you got to have it make sense on every side. Not just one person feeling or the main couple in question but the audience too. We have to feel the chemistry between him and any of the potential females in this story. We have to see him feel, act or think about said females and his relationship with them.
For me, while I understand dragon girl, I don’t feel it. Same with elf girl. Nothing. If he randomly start feeling or expressing himself now, eh… it’s fine but it should have planted and grew slowly from the beginning.
GIRL YOU BETTER SAY YES!!!
