    As of lately I've gotten really tired of generic nerd/otaku with -10/20 social skills or super fake girls which feel more like a cardboard cutout than a character. Thus I was looking for pretty much any realistic romance story ( as in realistic interaction any setting is great) which doesn't include harems and all of the other generic crap. However I don't mind a really cliche stories if the characters are good/interesting. So to sum it up, I wanted to know if someone could recommend me a novel with realistic 1 on 1 romance, that is preferably character driven, but anything would work as long as the characters get good development or have an inteinteres romantic relationship or chemistry.
    Thanks in advance!
    Have a good day.

    Alright im going to try my luck on these three thanks guys :)

    You're really trying to bark up the wrong tree by looking for that kind of writing in these 'novels'. You'd be much better off looking at something like young adult romance since the works are published, edited and more often than not don't feel like they were written by someone who's never gone out of their room to talk to girls/boys etc.

    Try here Good Reads
    You can mix the genres in the search to match what you want, and there are plenty of reviews and comments already to most books which should give you an idea if it's for you. Unlike reviews on NU these seem to be from people who've completed the work or attempted to at least.

    Our second master
    It's a really good short romance story. You can see from the reviews.

    I really liked:
    My Youth Begins With Loving You
    I felt like it had one of the best, realistic reactions to character interactions that I've read in a romance novel! :)
    -Though, it isn't completely translated yet sadly
