See, I'd be perfectly happy just losing myself in the hot-couple-getting-together-ness of it all. My problem is that I just don't usually find the couples compelling.

At all.

If anything, closer to the opposite.

Anyway, you do you OP, there's no reason there shouldn't be romance stories with good-ass worldbuilding and I hope you find more.

Same. I'm a diehard shipper to my core, so when I do manage to get invested in a pairing my brain basically goes, "I'm here for this until the END OF TIME."

But sadly, it's very rare for me to get invested, especially when it comes to pairings in novels. For some reason film (especially TV) pushes my shipper buttons way, way more than original novels. I would happily read all the hot-couple-getting-together fiction I could get my hands on if it actually worked for me, but it almost never does.

I suppose that's part of why I love fanfic so much. It works.

AYRT

It's definitely something that's true across the board, but it's way stronger and more consistent with things that are actually intended as romance stories, whether it's movies or novels.

Yeah, this is true for me as well.

I mean, I may love the romance of it all, but..."X loves Y and Y loves X" isn't characterization on its own, you know? Neither is "X wants to fuck Y and Y wants to fuck X."

Give me interesting characters doing interesting things. One, that gets me invested in the characters individually, and two, that gives the characters cool and interesting ways of interacting with each other and forming a relationship that's more complex than just "romance is romantic."
