What is your fauvorite story genre

[Allanbrito]

What's your fauvorite genre like scifi or drama or action amd why. I'm interested toin know what takes you to read more of that kind of stories. Mine is scifi, because you can play with concepts so easy, like the concepto of creator and creation in chappie (I love that movie) or the excitential concepts in matrix, I'm a lover of deep developes characters en cituations that questions theyr sence of morality and humanity.... sooooo.... what's yours and why?

I'm a huge fan of fantasy and romance. However I usually get into anything with a great plot. I can't seem to get into scifi all that well though I see the appeal in the genre.

EDIT: forgot to include my reasoning - I'm sorry!

I love fantasy for the same reason you love sifi. There is so much potential! If you can imagine it, you can do it. The concept of having powers, or a world of mythological creatures has always attracted my attention.

If there is a good romance, I get hooked. There is just something so incredibly juicy about the tension between characters that leads up to them inevitably getting together.

I love fantasy stories!! Especially ones with romance!!

I love crime and mystery! and horror!
a good written mystery can honestly go such a long way. i love the way it sucks you into their world and has you developing theories and i love trying to solve things with the protagonists, especially if it’s well written. this definitly includes horror too, which imo a good horror story is often directly tied to a good mystery
i also have a huge love for true crime so naturally i like seeing it in fiction too! especially well written, especially non-organized crime

i actually dislike sci-fi/fantasy and often romance since they often feel obvious and unrelatable to me ;;

Sci-Fi, Action and horror

I love a good fantasy comic or movie. I honestly don't often like fantasy in written format, since you don't get any of the interesting visuals, and often they come off as over-done, cliche, or too DnD. As a visual medium, fantasy comics and films often use interesting visuals and try to break away from norms (most of the time).
That being said, I love reading Sci-fi. Alastair Reynolds as one of my favourite authors, as well as Cixin Liu.

As well, I also love a good noir thriller. Mystery as a genre has so much potential for mayhem and exploration of the human spirit, as well as its limitations. It's gritty, dark, and filled with all the things that makes us humans so detestable. I love it. Chandler really kicked it off for me, but then I started reading Ross MacDonald, and a few other contemporary mystery novelists. Though the genre often leans too heavily on obfuscating the solution to the problem, as well as stacking up dead bodies for thrills, it has great potential as a character study.

fantasy and dystopian stories. like george orwell's books and books like of mice and men or flowers for algernon

[IdiotWithPencil]

Fantasy
why?
cause this world is a tornado of sadness and depression who will kill my dog in front of me just to revive it and kill it in front of me all over again.

I've always enjoyed the immersive ability of Fantasy and Sci-Fi stories. Something about all of the world building and the freedom of limitless imagination are things that have drawn me in. I've always had a fascination with fairy tales but maybe because the fancy of it was a stark contrast to mundane reality. Romance and drama have their appeals but it depends on how their portrayed and action can be pretty interesting when it has proper story buildup and a good driving plot.

I suppose the overarching genre that I like above all of these is just good ol adventure because their something engaging about exploring a vast unique and open world. Character development and building the personalities of the main character and those side characters who may come into greater play later on down the line. To pick just one genre is tough because I've been immersed in various kinds each with their strong point but I honestly love to see them blended but when done well above all else.

SFFF (Science-Fiction/Fantastic/Fantasy). I'm pleased with a little bit of horror too but more for the suspense than the gore in itself.

[PaulDevers]

I really enjoy Sci-Fi and Fantasy; I also really love Comedy in just about everything!
I feel like there's something so... I guess open about those two to me? Like, you can do a psychological character-study-focused thriller in a Sci-Fi, just as easily as you can do a tragic romance with Fantasy elements. There's no true limitations to me in those, anyways. Similar to realism, they are also two other huge blanket genres.

[Kyushii]

Whatever is supernatural (vampire/demons), mystery (dark/thriller), horror, psychological, philosophical, mind twisting stories that explore human concepts in an unsettling manner. Interesting to analyze for me. .

Aside of that, I'm also a sucker for romance and action.

[punkarsenic]

both scifi and fantasy, i flip between both a lot. im super into 'what if's and using big exciting blown up concepts to explore real world issues. also, theyre so colourful

[Allanbrito]

As many of you say. It's not about the genre but the story telling, plot line and character development is what makes a story great. But I see that many of you like scifi. Haha.

For comics, I like fantasy, supernatural, mystery, and action. The best thing is if it's a combination of all four. I think fantasy is interesting because you get to see things you don't in real life, and often the world-building that goes into creating a story with some kind of magical element is really fascinating. Supernatural is interesting because when you add ghosts into the mix you get into an interesting philosophical area - what is it to be human, what's the nature of the soul, how do human minds work, etc. Action I like just because it's fun to read action sequences. Mystery because I love seeing how the mystery develops - all the details and plotlines that have to be laid up so that you can finish up with a big reveal that gives you chills.

Action adventure comedy. A story of a group of misfit adventurers thrown into a fate that would change their lives and the world forever. Travelling lands beyond time and space, meeting friends and encountering dreadful foes. I really enjoy throwing chaotic souls into a perilous quest to redeem themselves like antagonists and antiheroes forced to team up to defeat a greater evil.
But I love a fun and heart warming adventure of strangers trying to save the world after knowing an apocolyptic event would happen if they chose to do nothing. But the twist is, they're only normal everyday people unfit to defeat the great evil.

[KingsClubComics]

I love Noir, Conspiracy thriller and crime genres. Why? Because it's easy to like something good and pretty. I take the hard way and try to understand something bizarre (like pug puppy), immoral and a rule breaker. Ha!

[Akhdas]

action with good story and more to over than boring black and white morale

[silacinnamon]

I love fantasy and sci-fi because I'm very interested in worldbuilding, and because you can write about love, war, loneliness or any other real life themes in a creative way.

But I think I'm more drawn towards fantasy because sci-fi can have a lot of action and I'm not a big fan of it... I still love many action stories, but I usually enjoy slow-paced storytelling a lot more. Slow-paced sci-fi is perfect for me

[Jenny-Toons]

I am a sucker for cosmic horror and thrillers. There's just something very awesome about exploring the unknown and trying to embrace it, even respect it, along with that fear we might have.

I do have some favorite authors that are published, but I would highly recommend anything interested in horror and thrillers to give these guys a try:
