Not really, I mean who wants romance :

someone who really doesn't care for you and also is abusive.

someone who is parasocial, creepy and also borderline dubcon.

someonewho doesn't care, will chose fame over you, emotionally abusive.

someone who groomed you, statutory raped you, also borderline dubcon.

I know who would romance them lowkey, freaks but in a good way but I don't think I will for now. I want to focus on the main ROs then which I plan to do poly so if people do want to romance to flings, it will be semi-ROs and not full ones, and its not always seen kinda light and small romance scenes which its not end-game btw, I forgot how infamous does it....

so if so then its going to be like this for me to take.

focus on the main ROs first.

then focus on semi ROs second.

and finally focus on poly routes.

(by this, I guess I will be doing something like this. so for example....

chapter out is out, only focuses on main ROs

chapter two is out, focuses on main ROs but updates chapter one to focus on semi-ROs

As writing Chapter 8 is still very much in progress, I thought I'd share some fun facts about the ROs. For this round, I'll share who the ROs were supposed to be but during writing, became a different person 😆

Irus: Irus was supposed to be entitled, arrogant and most importantly, very rude towards the MC and everyone around him. Of course that didn't happen and by the time I wrote his first scenes, he was already shaping up to be a much nicer prince than I envisaged.

Elora: Elora was going to be more cruel and had originally been planned as the love rival to Irus' affections. When I planned her character, she was going to be a no-nonsense ruler who didn't care who she stepped on to get what she wanted. Fortunately, her early interactions with Irus made it clear that a love rival was not the best role suited to her character.

Oren: Oren was planned to be stoic, gruff and very detached from his emotions. Somehow, he became a soft and mild-mannered man who's incredibly fond of his family and not shy to show his emotions.

Anu: Anu was a vaguely planned character who I pictured being the leader of the resistance with a heart of gold. That changed the more I wrote her character into existence and she ended up being brash and volatile.
