Genre and Trends


We need to establish a curation of books we like as readers. Its easy for some stuff we enjoy to get lost in the endless battle of mis-categorization of tags and the like on amazon.

Erotica, in harem or floating ab format, outpaces many other genres in volume and overall placing at the table. Because its so numerous it gets a large portion of eyeballs on it. Ghost writers and the like keep the same 100 series and writers in the top charts on amazon. Because that orange tag is the only thing that means something to them.

Many social sites have more writers per capita than readers so even some bigger accounts of 10k + people give the same recommendations most times. Its like everyone has a megaphone shouting over one another. Even tagging doesn't help too much.

Alternate sites like Minds et all dont have as much activity either. Sure I can find some new things on there but my little Twitter account still gets more engagement than most other sites I am on. With social stuff that is.

Hubs:

In the next few days I'll put together a preferred Superhero Prose hub of books I've read and enjoyed that have most of what I am looking for besides Uplift Protocol. That way I can link back to that page in particular.
