[k] @Chloe Romantic comedies are all about the emotions in each scene. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_2 1.5] @Chloe Even if the plot drags a bit, or your story structure's unconventional, you should be fine as long as the main characters end up smooching at the end. [k] [charaFace B 1] @Chloe I mean, really, if it doesn't end that way, then it's not really a romantic comedy at all, right? [k] @Chloe And done right, that kind of ending can provide just as much catharsis as the classic “blow up the enemy base” scene in a Hollywood action movie.
