Checked against the HTML of arXiv 2510.18932v1 (September 2025). Method. The abstract says networks from over 1,200 stories, generated by four LLMs and a human-written corpus. So the 1,200 includes the human comparison set (255 collected, 168 used in analysis), not 1,200 LLM stories. The human set is science fiction only (genre labelled by Gemini-2.0-flash, Project Gutenberg stories 3,000-15,000 words). The measured quantity is signed character-network structure (density, clustering, positive edge weights), and nothing in the paper concerns romance as a genre (no occurrence of the word in the page text searched). Failure modes. Using the figure as evidence that LLM romance outlines skew happy or tightly knit over-reads it: the evidence is about character relationships in LLM short stories generally, compared with Gutenberg science fiction.
