In the world of webnovels, the Protagonist Falls in Love First tag flips the traditional script, placing the lead character in the vulnerable position of the pursuer. Whether it is a cold CEO being softened by a persistent lead or a powerful cultivator harboring a secret crush for centuries, these stories focus on the emotional depth of unrequited love and the thrill of the chase. Readers are drawn to common tropes like the 'pining hero,' secret identities, and the high-stakes tension of slow-burn romance. This category is a favorite among fans of light novels and Asian fantasy because it offers a deeply satisfying emotional payoff. Watching a powerful protagonist navigate the complexities of romantic pursuit while juggling their own growth provides a unique, heart-tugging experience that keeps readers clicking 'next chapter' until the final confession.
