Why do romcoms where the two leads are obviously 100% into each other even bother with love rivals (plural because it's always one for the boy and one for the girl)? What's the point of a love triangle that is already solved? To waste the readers' time?

It means the editor has given the mangaka a tap on their shoulder.

Less experience mangaks are more suspectible to pressure. Not everyone is as wild as Hideki or coolkyoushinja. Even Hideki isn’t spared from the axe when going vanilla :02:

A lot of experience in that field huh?(Me too pal)
I’m still reading the Kouhai one that turned into a harem, hoping fruitless for more chapters with the main couple. No spoilers but there have been discussions in previous chapter’s comments that give me a little hope at least. That said there’s always that feeling of dread whenever a new character is introduced that feels aimed towards one of the leads because more often than not it’s a signal that all progress will be taking a break for an extended time.

Apparently someone who has already seen the next chapters (raw of course) said :

The new guy is not a rival, just someone Ibuki is going to relate to.

I'm afraid I have to ask for which one you're referring to.😅

Initial premise is a Dude who gets teased by his younger girlfriend. Now it’s Dude who is surrounded by girls who are in love with him and his girlfriend who’s also there sometimes.

For context, they started an arc about them trying to have their first kiss. That was about 100 chapters ago and has yet to be resolved.
