What's the enjoyment of watching romance Yea Forums?

Ive never had a gf

I found myself not self-inserting as much as people say, even with romance. Relating to people is not the same thing as self-inserting.

I think most people in here are in your case.

From what I can tell, self insertion is something that not everybody can do.
Some people do it automatically, others don't do it at all.

I personally cannot read a story without identifying with the main character. It doesn't matter what kind of person or nonperson that character is. I will definitely identify with them.
So the idea that some characters are self-insert bait is ridiculous to me.

What's the point of watching NTR, Yea Forums?
All we're doing is seeing other people in a romantic situation which we will definitely not be in.

I enjoy watching romances, as long as it remains at one couple developing their relationship and doing cute shit. It makes me happy because I'm very emphatic to this happy things. But as soon as another love interest appears and it starts with the usual love triangle drama, I drop it instantly, because I know someone will get ntr'ed or cucked. Or it could go even worser and someone gets raped.
Miss me with that gay shit. I just want to relax and feel happy when watching anime/manga and not feel depressed. To bad most anime/manga do a lot of wrongs when it's comes to romance.

This right here is why CGDCT SoL ishakiei >>>>> all

Sounds like you'd be better off with things that don't have any male characters at all like K-On!
I bet you lap up shit like Tonikaku Cawaii like sweet milk tho lol

No male character? Then there wouldn't be any reason for me to watch anime/manga. I just watch because of Romance, aslong as it's made decent and with a happy end.
btw thanks for recommend Tonikaku Cawaii. It looks like I could like it.

nisekoi is harem

romance is when romantic relationships are actually progress over time to the climatic conclusion.

Why watch anything at all. You won't ever be in it.

Why even look at people. You'll never be them.

OP 1 of those people that come out crying about life when the thread comes around. Only you can fix yourself.

Because I self-insert.

>Implying harems never have romance.

Fucking this. I love those cutesy series that are about the characters and their relationship developing instead of just devolving into drama shit. They're so comfy.
Having another character is fine if it's not dragged on too long and it's clear they have no chance of winning (e.g. the chef at the end of Ore Monogatari), but even that can be annoying.

wish fulfillment jackass

This is what I think the op should ask.

>>From what I can tell, self insertion is something that not everybody can do.
I know it's something that has never happened for me, just empathy.
I wonder if that's the difference between the people that like and hate yuri here. I can just enjoy it for being cute and liking the characters without the need to identify with any of them.

Do you think love can bloom, even on a battlefield?

As a self-inserter I like yuri too.

This kills romances for me, I can’t really watch them without feel sad because of it. Yuri is masochism for me, I prefer depressing things where people suffer, I guess that’s why I Utena is my favourite anime - yuri but it’s Philosophical and depressing

>romantic situation
>hentai
Dunno dude but that fat old guy and that cute girl don't really seem in love with each other...

All we're doing is shitposting and doing nothing useful which is definitely a waste of time.

It's romantic if she ahegaos.

Yup.
Romance and vanillashit are for boring tasteless normalfags.

Not everyone is a cold-hearted alphafag like you, that need rape and ntr in every story to make it more "interesting"

lol romance is for fags
cute girls doing cute things is where it's at

I'm not so far gone yet that I feel unhappy when I see other people being happy.

>What's the enjoyment of watching romance Yea Forums?
Nice boat.

>having the shit kicked out of him by tsunderes.
Bad tsunderes.

Can you at least feel happy seeing other people being unhappy?

This. It's crazy to me how selfish younger people are nowadays.

I'm far gone already.

I don't even know at this point watching romance stuff in general makes me feel bad. It's all just torture to watch maybe that's why I watch it. I just hate myself and constantly want to make myself feel bad.

I watch it for cute girls being cute and acting girly. Cant really find that anywhere else.

I'm so fucking lonely and horny.

It makes my heart go doki doki

>People still rooting for the childhood friend.
Why? They're so boring and predictable and believe they should be higher up the harem rankings due to knowing the MC earlier than the others, Fuck childhood friends in romance shows.

Eh, I was like this at 16 but now I'm unfazed by it. Also after OMK nothing can make me feel sadder for a character romantically speaking.

Is there anything more pathetic than self inserting in fiction?

Seeing the journey of the two is enjoyable, but anything post the hookup/confession period is braindead boring cuckoldshit for emotional female viewers.
Men prefer the thrill of the hunt, and not the stagnant boredom which comes after the prey is captured. It's very much true for any story as well, when it's being watched by a male viewer. Female viewers prefer the sexual and emotional side of it, so basically the actual romance which comes after the hookup.

Most anime romances suck ass.
It's not because I'm a lonely loser like people ITT.
I've been spoiled by books.

Enjoying Kaguya?

Golden Time is far better than most the garbage series where it takes a million of years for the characters to confess.

See .

As a functioning human being, I have the capacity to be happy for others. Furthermore, their happiness makes me happy. It's similar to how (non-autistic) people cry at weddings.

I enjoy it when its stuff like Kaguya-sama or Nozaki-kun that are more comedy than anything, stuff like Fruits Basket this season just bores me

Never understood people who complain about romance manga making them feel lonely. I'm probably one of the oldest incels on this board and I have read and watched a lot josei/shoujo and romcons. Its just another form of fiction, I doubt the majority of irl romances are like the ones depicted in cartoons.

I imagine it's a difference in mindset. They probably spend a lot of time imagining all the things that could be if only they weren't such pathetic losers, and then they read romance to reinforce their depressions.

Whereas sensible people just read romance as a way of experiencing an interesting story.
