If it doesn't force them to love each other, what even makes them reincarnated soulmates then? That is why you confuse me.
Although if you like shit where people go "fuck it, i do what I want"
Well in that case I agree. Fuck fate. Free love, baby. That wouldn't bug me as a story because they're telling fate to stick it.
I just think the versions where it's the end game are lame as hell. Fakey fakey magic shortcut gummy bear candy harlequin bullshit. it's like wish fullfillment author avatars. I guess someone can enjoy it but it's not remotely authentic to any lived human experience.
And before anyone whines about fantasy or whatever not being a normal lived human experience, usually good writers have the characters reactions to the weirdness still have some kind of emotional truth or realism.
