I see where you're coming from, but I think it’s important to remember that while romance is a big part of life for many, it’s not the only thing that makes life real or meaningful. People’s experiences are diverse, and not everyone’s story revolves around romance. Fiction doesn’t need to include romance to feel authentic—it’s about capturing the full range of human experience. For instance, not every powerful person would automatically find themselves in a romance. They might be focused on other things, like personal growth or work. Realism in stories isn’t about having every character fall in love; it’s about reflecting the different ways people live their lives, and sometimes that means leaving romance out entirely.

Not*

The idea that every character has to experience romance assumes a pretty narrow view of life and ignores how diverse people's experiences really are. Not everyone falls in love.....some people are aromantic, some are focused on other things, and some just never end up in romantic situations. Fiction is great because it can explore so much more than just romance. Stories can focus on adventure, survival, personal growth, world building or even deeper questions about life. Plus, things like culture or life circumstances can shape someone’s experiences, and not everyone’s story has to include romance. By including characters who don’t have romantic relationships, fiction feels more real and does a better job of capturing the wide range of human experiences.

mmmmm.... no this is a fictional story where any is impossible so these characters don't have to follow how the real world works , even in real life people rather stay alone even if they see or hear about all cons of it and not every story need romance, most times romance ruin a story and can change the MC for the worst

Why have romance?
