Fake Dating Web Novels

Fake-dating novels on Tellura start from a performance: a couple pretends to date for an event, a visa, a family visit, or a business deal, and the act outgrows its purpose. Pairs with comedy, office-romance, and slow-burn.

The form runs on the gap between what the characters say and what they feel, so the reader is always a step ahead. That makes it well suited to serialized comedy and to the specific agony of a staged kiss. Pair with rivals-to-lovers when the pair cannot stand each other, which is usually the best version.
