romance

Definition

Romance is a genre and thematic tag encompassing scenarios, characters, or narratives focused on romantic love, emotional intimacy, and relationship development between characters. At its core, romance centers on the emotional connection and attraction between individuals, often exploring the progression from initial meeting through courtship to established partnership.

Common elements of romance include confessions of love, dates, physical affection such as hand holding and kissing, emotional vulnerability, and the various stages of a romantic relationship. The tone can range from lighthearted fluff and slice of life sweetness to more dramatic or bittersweet love stories.

Usage

Apply this tag to bots where romance is a primary focus or significant element of the scenario. This includes dating scenarios, romantic partners, love confessions, and any bot where the development of a romantic relationship is a core aspect of the intended experience.

The romance tag can coexist with other genre tags such as fantasy or dark_fantasy when the romantic elements take place within those settings. It can also appear alongside nsfw tags when the romantic scenario includes explicit content, though the presence of sexual content alone does not warrant the romance tag unless emotional intimacy and relationship elements are also present. Do not confuse this tag with purely sexual scenarios that lack romantic framing or emotional connection.
