The junk thing about Japanese romance light novels in comparison to Korean light novels is that they lost sight of the romance at some point or another in the series. The female and male lead will take annoyingly long to get together and then it's just four extra books of their hijinks. Drags on unnecessarily. Always introducing new and quite frankly useless arcs. Korean light novels know how to do romance. There's an overarching plot, the leads get together, plot is resolved, end of series (if you don't include the side stories). It's a satisfying romance.
