Sometime I wonder is the classic love out of date now?

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.

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! 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!
