Here are some more tips for writing good fantasy:
Focus on developing strong and believable characters, create tension and conflict to keep readers engaged, and build a realistic and compelling relationship between the main characters. Show, rather than tell, the emotions and chemistry between the characters to make the romance feel authentic. Be sure to have a satisfying resolution that leaves readers feeling hopeful and happy.
Good romance depends on good characters. You must start out a romance with characters who are believable enough (and likable enough) to catch the reader's interest. Check out the Related Questions for more specific information about making a good character.
It's a story, a love story. Relationship story. What makes it any different than general fiction? Nothing, except that, in a romance, the relationship is paramount. It has to have a happy ending. But I don't like to read any book, where, in the end, there is this sense of hopelessness - romance, general fiction, what have you. I don't write about that and I don't want to read about that.

Here are some more tips from romance writers:
Romance novels are affirmations of all that is meaningful in life - and these affirmations are just as important to our emotional well being as exercise and nutrition are to our physical health.
The ideals of love, fidelity and positive feminism are explored more thoroughly in romance novels than in any other genre. In reading and writing romances, I have discovered my own value as a woman. I believe most avid readers of romance novels have more strongly developed ambitions for themselves, their partners and their families than the average woman. We have spent more time considering the meaning and implications of love, and we recognize (in spite of our general liking for spicy love scenes) that physicality is really a minor feature of a relationship. Emotion, and all its intricacies, is what draws us . . . and that is why romance novels define what is best about being human.

The Number One tip - gays and lesbians are just people. Writing gay romance, for example, is no different from writing straight romance - you just have two people of the same gender instead of one of each.Gay and lesbian stories depend on good characters most of all! If you've got a vivid character, the reader is not going to care what sexual orientation they have - and if you've got a vivid character, your story will fall into place as you imagine how that character reacts to the world around them.Often, but not always, a gay and lesbian story will include some sort of political message about intolerance - either explicit or implicit.
Narrative poetry is a poem that has a story behind it. Some good verse narratives Idylls of the King, Canterbury Tales, The Ring and the Book and Romance of the Rose.

Probably Romance because in whatever type of book it is, the story always has some type of Romance in it.
No. The game focuses on the story line, in which (in my opinion) everyone gets an implied significant other BUT you. The character customization, story, weapons customization, and overall character development are very good, very similar in some ways to Phantasy Star Portable 1/2/Infinity. All good, but no romance.
