Tình yêu classic thì chắc có hơi cơ bản quá, thaonguyen thử thêm vài yếu tố như fantasy hay adventure cho nó mới lạ

Oooh you meant the sexy scenes and first love vibe!

I agree with the development. Yes, a lot of love stories has sexy, hot, juicy scenes, with BL and GL growing so fast. I am enjoyer whichever love, but I agree --the classic one, with maybe a simple sweet kiss is the most is very rare now. Maybe it's because of social development, how those are no longer seen as very taboo in Asian countries now, especially for younger generation. To be honest, not all story need those scenes and I kinda miss the pure love stories where the emotions are the main focus.

Don't give up. You're not alone, at least you have me :laughing:. I do have a romance story draft without those sexy scene, and my current series has a hint of romance of the characters without those scenes because they are not needed. And yes, they are classic love between man and woman.

It may be more difficult as the genre is no longer in trend internationally, but I don't waver to trend. I'm glad to find another one who writes the classic one too! Good luck for your writing journey, I believe there's always a place for every kind of things, including the 'seems' unpopular ones. Trends sometimes just circling around.

The perspective in different aspects of love will never go out of date because everything is unique in one way or the other. Some people like poetic writing just like yours and other like cheesy romance like in ecchi animes, but if I may give my true opinion, it is not out of date.
Hope it helped ^^

Love is charity. Only newer translations of the Bible say "love" but King James says "charity".

Selflessness.

I don´t think it will be ever out of date.
I just think we got used to it so much that we don´t see that most love
stories are the classic love story

I agree with you about this.

For me, I grow up with classic love stories, either comics (mostly japanese manga and some manhwa), novels, tv series, etc. They were so many back then. Maybe this is the reason the trend shifts, because many authors want to be 'different', up to the point the classic one becomes rare.

The trend circling, maybe one day the classic will become the trend again because people get too used with the current non-classic.

Are you sure? My front page on Tapas today;

You're seeing more queer and gay romance because queerfolk and gays now have the freedom to make those stories and the platforms to share it on. The "classic" stuff is still there in abundance.

I don't think so, though it depends on what you consider classic. Lot's of people are still writing sweet and simple girl-meets-boy type romances and such. While maybe romance as the whole plot has been done so many times it can't carry the story anymore, ideas like chivalry and prince charming's still seem to be very much idealized and placed in popular fiction. K-dramas i've watched and animes still love the idea of men who go to extreme lengths for their lady's comfort, who will carry them home when they're tired, xyz. Because it's impossible to create entirely new things everything moves in waves and ideas come and go in trends.

When I think of "Ore Monegatari" Prince Charming vibes are very clear there. My two romances "Damsel in the Red Dress" and "Hushabye Prince" both have hints of these ideas, because many girls still want to imagine themselves as princesses, and that's what fiction is for.

I feel like in modern times, people have been more critical of romance based on infatuation. And I think people want some depth to the characters beyond "they are pretty".

Oh thank you so much. That's so warm to receive your answer. I feel really better. Yes, the only way is keep trying, whatever ahead. Thank you again for all your nice sharing. Wish you all the best in life :heart:

Thank you, thank you so much for your warm reply :blush:

Yes, maybe it's up to the difference of everyone classic definition. Classic love in my style is the pure, gently love, hidden emotion, without or very few hot or sexy scene. Some friends here suggest me a lot of romance love comic that presented on Tapas, but sorry that it is not what I mean about classic love...

then yes, there are still a lot of people who want sweet wholesome romances without a lot of a mature content included. I think that market is still out there for writers

@thaonguyenviolet Subbed! :heart: 6 Summers looks amazing; very excited to read it.

So long as there are people to feel love, I can't imagine "classic love" going out of style. Trends and conventions may shift, but there will always be a market and an interest in love, even without steamy or graphic scenes.

The Greeks have a half dozen or so definitions for different kinds of love, each with its own merits and audience. It's not that Eros (passionate love) is more inherently valuable than Storge (love of family, like parents to children), it's that potential audiences might drift from one type to another based on their interests. Tapas has practically every kind of love, at least from what I've seen, and people will gravitate to good stories, regardless of spiciness.

I hope that helps. Wishing you and 6 Summers continued success! :blush:
