Or maybe most series just aren't that sophisticated and the themes are just obvious and/or barebones.

The poll ended: September 19, 2026 The people in the comments mostly liked this trope (especially if done well) Maybe not quite a trope, but many romance series have a chapter where 2 people need to pretend to be in a relationship. What are your feelings about that? It's a different trope altogether where it turns into an actual relationship. Then you have Rent-A-Girlfriend .
