What kind of novels do you like most?

 

[Deleted member 54065]

High fantasy, that's why I love writing isekai.

 

[Paul_Tromba]

Fantasy, historical fiction, urban fantasy, high fantasy, classic science fiction, mystery, thriller, and when I'm in a really good mood I really enjoy wholesome romance/slice of life.

 

[charliegraceclark]

Anything involving the supernatural w/ romance in it (werewolves, vampires, demons, etc), also dark romance.

 

[melchi]

I mostly like ones that are clear and go out of the way to be easy to follow. That being said, I like plots where people solve things creatively. I like characters where it is clear what they can and can't do.

 

[ConansWitchBaby]

Historical fiction, urban fantasy, that one niche where everyone just knows everything and it becomes a convulted mess, wholesome animals on adventure.

 

[SailusGebel]

Porn.

 

[Ilikewaterkusa]

Porn.

Brick sniper

 

[K5Rakitan]

I grew up on science fiction, and I still get a rush of nostalgia when I think about it. Today, give me polyandry.

 

[J_Chemist]

Sci-Fi, Shooter/Milsim, High Fantasy, GOOD GAMELIT, romance/romcoms, porn that's actually got good plot, and the occasional mystery to stir the brain rot.

Ah, I also like completed stories. Ones without new chapters/books to wait on. Being able to binge and actually finish something is incredible. Not a fan of having to wait month to month for a book/manga chapter. I put up with weekly anime because there's enough of it to keep the skull monkeys from having seizures.

 

[Enthriex]

I love reincarnation, isekai, supernatural, fantasy...Hmm, I like many things xD But if it has time loops I will probably read cause yes! However, I like stories in which I get to know the inner world of the characters and how their perspective gradually expands throughout the novel.

I'm a big fan of psychological horror, thrillers and even wholesome plots. I also have a weakness for BL with plot beyond romance. I'd actually like to read something like an isekai/reincarnation story with an enticing plot and a BL sub plot. I've read too many stories about girls reincarnating into villainesses that I just really want something a little different.

As long as the summary sounds good and its well written, I'll probably give it a try

 

[proxybaba]

anything but Litrpg and gameLit, I have enough of them.

 

[OP1000]

I like fantasy novels as a whole and crossover fanfics that are written as follows:

Crossover fanfics where characters from two different works are written in a way so that characters from both worlds are all born and grow up in the world where the story takes place.

 

[Kenjona]

I like well written Novels.

 

[Jaysanerd]

either action adventures or romcoms

 

[sadeldritchcat]

LitRPG fantasy

What kind of novels do you like most?

I like a lot of types of novels, so it is probably faster to say what I do not like. I tend to dislike melodramatic stories, stories that advocate, endorse, and/or turn a blind eye to serious violence (be that slavery, rape, sexual or regular assault, murder, etc.), and, to a lesser extent, I find it hard to get into science fiction, harems, and fan-fics.

If you must ask for my favorite type though it would probably have to be cosmic &/or gothic horror and things similar to it. For example, I find it hard to get into Stephen King but I like Ito and Poe. This probably comes from me binge listening to creepy pastas and Lovecraft’s works while playing Age of Empires and Clash of Clans/Royale when I was young. As well as the fact my mom liked to write horror stories and my dad would play horror audiobooks on long car rides when I was young.

I also like fantasy, but I have been bored with the adventure and action genera for quite a while now, mostly because they are too formulaic imo.

 

[Fox-Trot-9]

Big diet of mystery and thriller books, spiced with other genres like fantasy, horror, classics, nonfiction, short story collections, poetry, etc.

 

[mitkopom]

Anything with weak to strong premises as i find op character plots lacking of suspense and drama, leading to zero character growth

 

[gaylolis]

i like novels with premises i find interesting and executes them well with consistency.

as for stuff i like in particular, i guess strong mob protagonist who just did their own thing. creative application of cheats / systems, and also absurd comedies.

power fantasies were also fine if their progression feels consistent and earned. i usually dropped the story when the author forcibly nerfed the mc instead of going along with it.
