Looking for a story with a mature love interest... 🙏🏻

Story Recommendations :book:

I’m looking for a well-written, well-directed story with a genuinely interesting plot that doesn’t feel like a recycled version of the same clichés we’ve seen a hundred times before. As for the love interest, I really don’t want the typical cocky, annoying guy who flirts every other sentence, constantly brags about himself, or tries too hard to come across as a smartass. And please, no mafia bosses covered in tattoos either.

I want a love interest who is serious, mature, and a little cold - someone who doesn’t feel the need to run his mouth constantly or show off. I want his charm to come from his silent confidence and how he carries himself, not from endless flirting and cocky remarks.

I don’t mind a well-written love triangle. I just don’t want the same immature, cocky male LI archetype that seems to be everywhere on Episode. I’m really looking for something that feels fresh and actually gives me a reason to become invested in the characters and the story.
