So, the fl is bl9nd and has blue eyes. In the cover, it is shown that she disguised herself as a black haired boy. She regressed a few years back to save her dad from being framed for the "regent king"'s (I guess a sort of rank in the army?) murder. The guy in question has black hair, I think while eyes and is the ml. So, rings a bel to anyone?
What would you guys consider second chance romance? And what do you like/dislike about it?
Just as the title says: what would you consider second-chance romance? Like, what if the story starts before they first broke up? And if they never even broke up? Woukd you consider a book where the mc gets a second chance at love (not with the same love interest) to be secon-chance romance? Also, what do you dislike or like about those, either when reading them or writing them?
Also, what if the first love interest died (like, in the middle of the book or maybe at the start) and the mc were to try to find love again.

Hello! I just want to share part of my writing journey with everyone.
So, I am an aspiring author and writer who is in the process of writing my first project. It is a series of nearly 10 books (unless I am able to make it half of that by making the pacing quicker once I actually start writing). I have been in the planning process for 2 years now, not consistently since I only wanted to bring my story to life and writing it was the last thing that came to mind, before that, I was going to simply draw and animate the scenes or write a movie script but I eventually decided to write a book (novel) series instead. I only made up my mind less than a year ago and am now deep into fixing some plot holes and adding characters. I watch a few "writing tips" videos and look into readers' opinions on different apps (reddit for one) so I can get a rought idea of what the story essentially lacks, what is actually needed for a good story, like pacing, omissions, characters.... For example, i came to understand that my story had too few male characters (in particular side characters that don't have too big of a role but are still present) and I found that they were good with the plot. Those characters have a little impact on the action part of the story and I don't think they would appear much but they still have their own goals, belief and mostly appear in other secondary characters' stories. I did fill some plot holes and now need to rebuild my view of the mc (who was 17 at the start of the story) since I do realize I made them too mature for their age (or at least in my mind) when, now that I think about it, they most of the time act Immaturely. I also changed a few settings from 2 years ago so I need to write the final version (so as to not get confused later on). Anyways, I just wanted to share with everyone and maybe hear your own experiences or some advice you might have to give. Also, i do know that starting with a book series as my debut work is a dangerous choice. I have many other story ideas which can easily be put into a standalone or even a short story series with each short story being separate from the other (a bit like the Sherlock Holmes series and many others, except it is more philosophical than a mystery) but I still spent two years on it, have characters i just love and know I might forget them or abondon them if I move on right now. Also because the mc's story gave me enough confidence to face real life so it really is mostly out of emotional attachement to it that i, at the very least, want to write the story from mc's pov, even if it won't be perfect. I can also write it first but publish it later.
