I have no idea what you mean by this sentence: Maybe it's just a general annoyance of me for a lot of the stories that do work like that, like AME, for example.

Oh, wait, I think I figured it out. I hate AME. It bores me and annoys me in the same breath. The only character I really care about is Bianca, although I technically made Derek my MC's love interest (so logically this should mean that I care about Derek . . . I don't really. I just am neutral toward him while I hate Mack more than any character in the game and Adam is boring and Jen is both boring and not relevant. Not that this matters at all. There is never anything to do with Derek that is love interest involved, no secret looks, no quick kisses, no talk of plans after the show, except diamond scenes and I'm not paying diamonds in a book that annoys me like this.

As for using guides to avoid romance. . . maybe you only use them for Across the Void, but I use them for everything. I have used them to avoid romance in The Freshman, Veil of Secrets, and extensively in A Courtesan of Rome for example. I have not used them in The Heist Monaco and I'm not entirely convinced that the love interests actually are love interests. Same with Most Wanted. I am basically convinced that there are no love interests in that book (even as I can name half a dozen characters who are probably the "love interests" of that series).

I wish the would, across the board, adopt the romance system from The Elemenatalists allowing you to pick fro the start who you were interested in. That would be nice.
