Right now I'm reading The Wheel of Time fantasy novel series (Book II) and it got me all flustered. Why? Well it's got some great characters, great lore, and a good mix of plot and action. Some of the story doesn't make sense though, sometimes it feels convoluted or bloated. It's fine even if not perfect. But the parts that get me interested without fail is stupid teenage romance. When Nynaeve moons over Lan. Or Rand moons over Egwene. Or Elaine moons over Rand. Or Min moons over Rand. Or Rand moons over Egwene. Min holds Rand in her hands, Rand laments the fact that everyone including Egwene have left him. See? On the outside it sounds like pretty boring puppy love shit you have seen or heard dozens of times. And yet I can't get enough of it, read on and on just to know whether they will, or they won't. I've noticed that about myself that despite being an incel I'm still motivated primarily by romance parts of these stories, even though I can only imagine what it's like to feel love or feel loved. Am I bluepilled still? Or something else is at play.
