Whether reading romance novels was harmful or not depended on one's reading style and purpose. Romance novels usually contain elements such as romance, emotion, and sex. If you are too addicted to these elements when reading, it may affect your psychological and physical health. The violent and erotic descriptions in romance novels may also bring bad psychological experiences to readers. Reading romance novels can improve one's perceptual knowledge and emotional expression ability, as well as enrich one's imagination and creativity. However, if one pursued the plot and visual effects too much while reading and neglected the true value and meaning of the book, it might have a negative impact on one's reading ability, thinking ability, and values. Therefore, whether reading romance novels was harmful or not depended on the individual's situation. When reading, we should maintain a rational, healthy, and balanced attitude. We should pay attention to the true value of the book instead of only focusing on the plot and visual effects of the novel.
