Unless it's a romance novel it usually takes from the plot.

Me too, I think about this so unnecessary and boring

I absolutely HATE love triangles! They're so stupid and the fanbase ship wars just make it worse.

It depends

I mean for the most part it tends to take away from the actual story or it becomes too large of a detail of it. If its a small detail and well checked from getting too pervasive in the story, I think it could be good, but for the most part, from what I've seen, that is rarely ever done.

Occasionally I’ll find a love triangle that interests me — one where all three pairings have a romantic connection in some way, for example (like Mako/Korra/Asami in LOK, or Wolfgang/Kala/Rajan in the Sense8 finale), that tends to pique my interest since that’s rarely ever done atm. But usually I despise them. Especially that tired old one where a girl is torn between two guys — her best friend and her new love interest. Can we let that one die, please?

I usually end up feeling torn over which characters to ship together.

I sure don’t love them, but they’re not the worst.

In the genre of books I read, it's very common and I despise it.

While I think that every trope can theoretically be done well, I've never seen a boneafide love triangle done well and I'm just sick to death of it. It's cheap.
