Not fitting in only one genre

To be honest, I feel like half of the genres could suit mine in some way.

My comic is slightly Game of Thrones-inspired but much more light-hearted because there aren't people dying 24/7 and good stuff happens as does bad stuff (so slice-of-life-y? but in an epic saga way), and it doesn't really have magic/fairy-tale creatures in it so Fantasy doesn't quite fit even though it's a fantasy world. It has romantic subplots, fighting will happen sometimes (action - but only every now and then), and in the end I chose Drama because of the big plot arc with a little Mystery/kind of detective story

I'd really wish for tapastic to have an adventure genre, since my comic SPIRE fits in that more than anything. It's also a mixture of fantasy and sci-fi (it's got like....vampires clashing with highly advanced robots in an airship) and even though it leans more towards fantasy i feel like people going into it expect something like medieval dragons and knight battles...

Personally, I kinda wish you could specify the genre a bit more. My comic is an urban fantasy, so it's probably a bit confusing for people who wanted to read a regular fantasy comic. I can see some confusion arising there.
