Not necessarily. Unrealistic romance novels can also be a form of escapism. For some readers, it's just a way to relax and enjoy a fantasy world for a while. However, if a person is constantly comparing their real relationships to the ones in these novels, it could be harmful as it may cause them to feel dissatisfied with their real - life situations. They might think their relationship is lacking because it doesn't have the same level of drama or passion as in the books.
Common features include the use of extreme coincidences. For instance, the two main characters keep running into each other in the most unlikely places around the world. The female lead in unrealistic romance novels is usually depicted as a damsel in distress or a perfect beauty with an amazing personality but with little to no real - life complexity. And the happy endings are almost always guaranteed, no matter how many obstacles were supposedly in the way, which is not always the case in real - world relationships.
I think they do. Romance novels usually present a world where love conquers all. However, in reality, love is just one aspect of a relationship. There are financial issues, family problems, and personal differences to deal with. But in these novels, those real - life factors are often overlooked. So, it gives readers false hopes about what a relationship should be like.
In many cases, yes. Romance novels tend to exaggerate the romantic aspects and ignore the mundane or challenging parts of a relationship, leading to potentially unrealistic expectations among readers.
πI recommend the following novels to you:
1. "Ji: Chief Doctor's Little Muddle": This was a modern romance novel about urban life. It was about the love story between a genius neurosurgeon and a furry, melodramatic, and cute male and female doctor.
2. "A Chef's Woman's Love and a Knife to Settle the Land": This was an ancient romance novel about a fight in the palace. It was about a butcher girl with superb knife skills and her unreliable poison doctor master who fought in a house.
3. "On the CEO's Road to Courting His Wife": This was a modern romance novel about a wealthy family. It was about a male protagonist pursuing his wife with the female protagonist. Under bad circumstances, it slowly developed into a sweet relationship.

Another aspect is that some Chinese novels aim to provide an escape for readers from the mundanity of daily life. Unrealistic love stories offer a kind of utopia where people can immerse themselves in pure and passionate emotions. Take some modern youth novels as an example, the protagonists' love is often described as being so intense and perfect that it seems detached from reality, but it gives readers a sense of hope and excitement.
Yes, they can. For example, if romance novels always portray perfect, passionate love without any flaws, readers might expect the same in real life. But real relationships have arguments, dull moments, etc. So, when their real relationships don't match up, they may get disappointed.
One way is to be aware. Just know that what you're reading is fictional. Try to remind yourself that real life is different. For example, when you read about a character having a perfect relationship, think about how that might not be possible in real life.
An example of an unrealistic idiom is as follows:
1 Utopia: The imaginary ideal country is far from reality.
Arabian Nights: A metaphor for unrealistic fantasies or extremely absurd statements.
3. Illusionary Flower and Moon: It is a metaphor for the illusory feeling of an illusory scene.
4. Castle in the air: A metaphor for things that do not exist.
5 Mirage: Due to the principle of atmospheric light, sometimes illusory natural phenomena can appear.
6. Deviate from reality: Deviate from reality.
7. Unrealistic Fantasy: A fantasy that is far from reality.
8. Fantasy World: The imaginary ideal world is far from reality.
9. Unattainable: It means that the distance is very far and extremely difficult to achieve.
Political theory that is divorced from reality: It refers to political ideas that are divorced from reality.
