Besides aaaalll of that. My main problem with the romance genre is the stories where the main character is always thinking about getting a girlfriend or sex and that's all that they ever think about. There is no character development outside of that. But what is even much much worse is when the main love interest (usually a guy) sexually assaults the main girl or nearly rapes her and all of a sudden she's like, "OMFGOZH*(#($*H(F*#(OIEH I LOVE HIM!!!" On top of that the main guy is almost always a complete asshole/douche bag and whenever they bully or tease or harass the main girl she runs or pushes them away. Then they spit out, "you're a coward. I did nothing wrong. This is all your fault we are like this." Constantly humiliating and treating the main girl like an object or whatever. The sad part is is that the main girl is usually a pretty good character but ends up becoming some weird love slave who all of a sudden cannot do anything without the douche bag love interest.
Describing almost every hentai and ecchi there... Just add rape and torture, and multiple girls... I wish I could erase all the crap I watched...
I've had so much trouble finding decent het romances because of this problem.
Heh, I gave up on romance long ago. Then I found yuri with all the sweetness and flirty vibes.
Where sometimes even the porn was so sweet that I squirm on my chair cuz its so overwhelming! (e.g. soon to be on this site, http://yuri-ism.com/2014/05/04/release-257-kyosaya-pillow-talk/ )
I should try to find some flirty-sweet het romances... I am under the impression that there isn't any...
