I already had whole thread where I discussed my gripes with Ryn so I do not want to repeat myself to much. In short, the way Ryn acts post confession is not that much different to how she acts before it. Either way, she is into you. There is no sense of progression. As someone said, it could be that they were just not added, but as thing stands, Ryn does not have much of an romantic arc.
Tetty is bad if you do not get pregnant with his child. Like, I implore you to try it. His whole reletionship with the champ feels so shallow without the pregnancy. And as I stated, his relationship almost does not make sense if you lack necessary equipment for baby making. And beyond all that, his confession happens to quickly.
Brint one is too simple and too quick. Especially jarring with how champ acts to passive and to much like a lovestruck idiot. I have no clue why champ acts so lovely dovey except that it is written that way. The champion fell in love faster with him then I had the chance to suck his dick.
And Brienne... Like, I like the girl, but her getting brainwashed into loving us does crash any possibility of any romantic subplot/development. Her whole existence is to be a waifu.
Arona is fine, but her whol1e romance shtick does kind of come out of nowhere. It is one of scene that does not have much leaway to really convince me that what champion and her have is anything really special. Still love the girl.
Annika romance happens to quickly. I enjoy how active champion can be in pursuing her, but she almost feels like a dickgirl version of Brienne in a sense with how she is way to into champ way to quickly.
I forgot -- who is Serena?
As for what I want in a romance... Simple: a gradual build up from friends to lovers. Something along the lines what Quin would have had untill his writer left.
