Reading romance novels in itself does not cause any direct harm to the body or intelligence, but excessive indulgence in romance novels may lead to some negative effects. Romance novels often described romantic plots and beautiful characters. These elements might have a certain impact on the psychology of middle school students. For example, romance novels often have romantic love stories between the main characters, which may cause middle school students to yearn for love and desire, resulting in their lack of confidence and independence in real life. The plots and characters that often appear in romance novels may have an adverse effect on the academic performance of middle school students. For example, romance novels often have many protagonists with excellent academic performance, which may cause middle school students to have high expectations for their academic performance, thus negatively affecting their learning and growth. Overindulgence in romance novels may have an adverse effect on the social skills of middle school students. For example, romance novels often have a lot of interactions between the heroine and the hero, which may encourage middle school students to imitate these plots and negatively affect their social skills and interpersonal skills. Therefore, middle school students can't completely avoid reading romance novels, but they should control their reading time appropriately and cultivate their interests and independence to better develop themselves.
