Dopamine stimulates other neurons and produces pleasure, which makes people elated. I derive pleasure from novels, mangas, TV shows, and games. However, after gaining pleasure, I often feel depressed due to homework, tests, and guilt for accomplishing nothing. But I always gain pleasure by reading novels with less guilt. Romance, of course, is the most inspiring and attractive element of a novel. Why do I love the romance in the Dark Divine more, rather than Hush, Hush? Because it's more rational for readers. (though I understand that love isn't supposed to be rational) Patch is too hot for Nora and I don't get why does he love her? I have to first emphasize that I am not jealous. It's just irrational. However, I can truly understand why Daniel love Grace. He lover her because she was unbelievably caring, courageable, yet bossy in childhood. She became amazingly beautiful and strong teen. Grace loves Daniel since he was her crush. Their romance is so much more rational in real world.
