Life First (Low Romance)

Hey there, you're in Contemporary Romances with 6 subsections:
(★ = You are here): 

Campus Romances (We go to school)
✓ High school or university – love blossoms under fluorescent lights and midterm pressure.

CEO Romances (We don't work)
✓ Billionaire bosses and fantasy jobs where no one actually works, but everyone falls in love.

Contemporary Romance Central (We pretend to work)
✓ General modern romances where jobs exist but mainly as backdrops to kissing and falling

Work/Life/Family ≥ Romance (We work and love)
✓ Where "real" life meets love

★ Life First (Love Maybe Second) (We mainly work and slightly love at most)
✓ Not even the passenger seat, but the back seat of a packed van. Or not even. Slice-of-life dramas where the career grind, family, and friendships take center stage – romance may or may not tag along.

Ladies Ensemble [Overlapping section]
✓ Female-led stories featuring a group of women navigating love, life, careers, and each other.

Action | Thriller | Sports

Criteria
✓ Action (+ Desert)
✓ Sports
✓ Thriller
✓ Sci-fi

Genres (but not all-inclusive)
