Another great example is 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy. It's a very dark and gritty post - apocalyptic story. The relationship between the father and son has some elements that could be considered romantic in the sense of a deep, abiding love. Although it's not a traditional romantic relationship, it shows how love can survive in the harshest of conditions.
There's also 'Warm Bodies' which is a unique take on the apocalyptic genre. It's about a zombie who starts to regain his humanity through his feelings for a human girl. The relationship between them is a central part of the story, with the post - apocalyptic world full of danger and decay serving as the backdrop for their unusual romance.
One popular one is 'The Hunger Games' series. While it's mainly about a fight for survival in a post - apocalyptic world, there are strong romantic elements between Katniss and Peeta. Their relationship develops in the context of the brutal games and the oppressive Capitol.
One characteristic is the blend of romance and destruction. The lovers often face extreme situations like a world being torn apart by disasters, zombies, or other apocalyptic events. Their love becomes a sort of hope or refuge in the chaos.
I'm not a big fan of promoting romantically forced novels as they often lack depth. But some readers might consider 'Twilight' to have elements of a romantically forced story. The relationship between Bella and Edward develops quite quickly and there are some aspects that seem a bit forced, like the instant and all - consuming love they have for each other without really getting to know each other fully at first.

Well, in romantically forced novels, often there's a lack of build - up in the emotional connection between the characters. The author may use contrived plot devices to create a so - called romantic tension. Such as sudden misunderstandings that are easily resolved just to bring the couple closer. Also, the characters' actions and decisions regarding the relationship may not be in line with their established personalities, just to fit the forced romantic narrative.
A very good one is 'Station Eleven' by Emily St. John Mandel. It jumps between different timelines, before and after a flu pandemic that has devastated the world. It explores themes of art, survival, and human connection in a really interesting way.
Yes. 'A Canticle for Leibowitz' is an excellent apocalyptic novel that shows how society tries to rebuild itself. 'The Hunger Games' is popular and it shows a world where the young are pitted against each other in a fight for survival in a broken society. 'The MaddAddam Trilogy' is also very good as it explores a world full of genetic mutations and the fight for a new order.
