i generally hate love triangles because it's just dumb manufactured drama, but love or hate has such a beautiful and complex narrative and in-depth character exploration. i absolutely love how the characters behave realistically while going through the ups and downs of love
if you have any recs for a story that has
>no one-dimensional characters
>more character oriented than plot oriented and explores realistic characters
>NO POWER DYNAMICS (i aint reading some rich/poor, powerful/weak bs)
>no angst for the sake of angst (manufactured dog blood and drama is a no-no)
>something that's preferably not tragic (like perle TT)
>nothing supernatural or fantasy or verse, and definitely not a work where the second lead believes he was a dog in his past life ><
any strories about finding new love after a past romance where the lover died. also the new person should not be a friend/relative/colleague of the dead lover. just someone completely new and unrelated.
the plot doesnt have to be completely romance. it can be action or mystery or something along those lines, but with a romance sub plot. prefereably completed
