The problem lies with the beta males that make pathetic excuses for MCs.
There's nothing wrong with romcoms

Take the shoujopill.
Elijah Cox
Good point.
Jaxson James
I dont mind beta males, makes it rasy to self insert. But damn dude, advance the fucking plot, you think this writes are physically allergic to the plot advancing. For way too many romcoms, nothing fucking happens. Look at KanoKari, 200+ chapters and they still go around in cirles. Every romcom im reading is 100 or close to 100 chapters and they barely advanced the plot.
Justin Russell
The guys are too chad, i can't self insert.
Ayden Carter
At least Seto had the balls to actually confess in a direct, no bullshit manner
Ryan Smith
Anjou-san unironically has the least bad MC since a few chapters back
Anthony Martinez
what are the best shoujo
Nolan Stewart
Sadly Japanese like it
Gaijin aren't their audience
Samuel Mitchell
i would enjoy romcoms more if the romance aspects actually progressed. seems like they usually just stagnate and draw out the same jokes forever. it becomes all com with no rom and the comedy ceases to even be entertaining. idk why so many romcom fans seem to have an aversion to characters that admit their feelings or have sex or anything
Andrew Richardson
Negima figured it out like 20 years ago. Just make the MC a shota, then you can make him assertive without having to come up with an excuse for why he isn't fucking anyone. Sadly, not many have followed its example.
Daniel Jackson
The problem does not lie with beta males. The problem lies within the idea that the beta male is somehow incomplete or contributes nothing to society when clearly the male is an upstanding citizen. Its why many romcoms that feature beta males feel unfair because they clearly are not hateable human beings, and are entirely capable of getting girlfriends. Thus the idea that a girl might like thr beta mc is such a redundant idea that makes the MC seem like just a lucky bastard rather than someone who literally cannot get a gf because he contributes nothing to society.
The solution is that they should feature the beta male as extremely compitent and feature the girl as extremely unlikable.
Even someone like Goujo from the cosplay romcom seems a bit lucky because at the end of the day he still poised to manage the Hina doll shop
The other solution is to have the beta MC seem much more relatable by showing that girls are obviously interested in him, and while he himself knows it, fights against it for some reason, maybe self doubt, pity, depression who knows.
The point I'm making here is that japanese romcoms are all about finding that person who then makes you a complete person who can contribute to japanese society, where as, by himself is not complete and cannot contribute because he is incomplete
Jack Green
Twenty something years ago he'd slurped that bathtub in one go.
Ethan Allen
House of the sun
Nathaniel Reyes
end your life
Hudson Anderson
shoujo is still lacking
what you're looking for is named TL
Connor Flores
the thing is, Gojo IS the prize in Sono Bisque Doll, he's too good for Marin and she's been squirming for him in the latest chapters because deep down she wants him all for herself but the only romance experience she has is eroges
Connor Peterson
Finally a good fucking thread.
Easton Jenkins
True.
Xavier Sullivan
ill agree with all the shoujo points being better except the very bottom one and i will not apologize for being right either.
Bentley Long
I can't stand shoujo. I already get mad at shonen romance, shoujo romance is literally the lonely femcels WET DREAM COME TRUE.
Its literally
>oh I'm too smart/pretty/feminine to catch a bf
>literally 10 equally qualified guys line up to bone her.
>only decides to go out with the one that makes her fucking stupid heart go doki doki
