If I want to not bother with all that, can I avoid it? Or is the story interwoven with romance?

I’m just not into romancing video game characters.

    No need, just have to turn down the characters when they come onto you. Don’t worry, they’ll get over it. You can still be friends!

      Though some of us feel a little bad about rejecting them. No in-game consequences, but I take a little psychic damage every time I have to tell one of my fictional friends that I’m just not into them in that way 😄

    The characters early on will come onto you a bit strong, and Withers will dunk on you for not pursuing romance of any variety, but its absolutely possible.

      Withers is brutal. Not only will he dunk on the main character, but all controllable characters if you try to change their class.

      Each one tried coming onto me and I refused all of them except Shadowheart.

      I broke their hearts and Withers shattered the rest with a “Thus you are alone”

    I thought I read something saying it was a bit buggy and unintentional how quick all characters get to feeling romantic.
