Love & War 2 (SPOILS)

A little fetish I had a few years ago that actually turned into a short online novel.

The novel "Love & War 2" was created by the pen name Cera Rain who makes movies based off of game characters of "Maplestory", a 2d-game that has been very popular since the seven years it was made. "Love and War", the first series of the story, was actually a movie that spoke about a young woman named Cera who was a famous match-maker and could easily create a couple based on her advice. However, a group of pirates wanted to be rich, and realized that Cera had the key of a sacred treasure kept hidden in her heart. Cera faced many obstacles in order to escape her death and actually was in love with one of the pirates, Levi. However, during the sequel, Levi disappears, leaving Cera behind on the verge of selling her home.

Although I didn't like romance books as much as other genres, this one was interesting to read. The story didn't focus on boys entirely, and you can understand her emotional standing. However, the cons to this story is that it's predictable. Almost like every other story or movie, where a girl meets a new guy and falls in love with him, and they get together and fall apart, and then another guy steps in and falls in love with her, but her heart still pleads for the first guy. Truly predictable, like a Korean drama.

I doubt there's any main philosophical ideals. Maybe something like, "should I sell my painting that my deceased parents have kept for so long?" or "should I give up on Levi?" but there's no strong one that I'd want to talk about at the moment.

Love and war are somewhat similar, aren't they?
