    Hi guys. I am curious about whether people share the same taste in different countries.
    What genre do you like best and what nationality are you?

    Hm, I don't know if you can say it as like,
    I don't like it when it's the main focus but a story without romance feels bland to me

    I'm from Bangladesh and I like male-to-female gender bender stories with heterosexual romance. (no yuri)

    I don't think it has anything to do with my nationality, but out of the other two Bengalis I met here one (female) is a fujoshi and the other (male) is okay with gender bender too...so, who knows?

    I'm pretty sure guns is not a genre, but if it has guns, I will read. It doesn't help that my nationality is American. Action is probably my #1 genre.

    I don't know if it qualifies as a genre but I prefer the novels with a realistic approach . U know characters and their motivations , the world , the society being logical and realistic . I know it's vague so I will give an example of what it is and what it's not
    What it is eg. Warlock of the Magus World , society has a rule not to touch ur enemies family until U R SURE AND HAVE SEEN THE BODY otherwise u r setting urself up for trouble. The rule exists not because of any authority but COMMON SENSE
    What it's not eg. Almost any CN novel where common sense seems to be out the window and society and it's rules make NO SENSE.
    For the record I am Indian and while I can't say for sure but recent study Did suggest that my people prefer a little realism , though how accurate that is , I don't know I didn't conduct the study

    Would be an idiot to share my personal information.
    Adult Protagonist that acts like an adult.
    Getting beat verbally by a girl doesn't make one an adult.

    As a PH person, i personally like isekai, trash novels, with a bit of a harem and mostly fillers everywhere. I do read other novels that has grining but its more of a simple and easy to understand system and not having to hold a dictionary while reading a novel. I'm not really picky but i don't really like to read dark novels or drama.

    Josei, of course!
    LOL But what I really like the most are mystery/thriller/psychological (but no serial killings please. I'm allergic to stories with no logic), shounen/seinen, and those stories that break the cliche (ex. villainess becoming the MC, etc). Josei is just a dessert. *wink*

    Where you live doesn't affect it, people all have their own tastes.
    I guess if there's more of a certain type of novel in countries then people might like it a bit more (since there'll be more and better choices if the genre is popular) but when it comes down to it everyone's different.

    That aside, if horror is done well then I love it

    American I like guns too.

    Isekai, yuri is always nice, dislike harem (but love Arifureta) but not so much into action. :p

    American. I like psychological stuff, romance and many varieties under it.

    I think since my parents were smart about history, I could see part of the picture but not all of it, so after playing The Sims, I gotten slowly interested in psychology.

    Why did Don Lothario put moves on a married lady? He is a weird man.

    Then somehow it turned into a secret stash of books, bring confused about gay people, then trying to expand things to LGBT stuff over time.

    American. Romance, world hopping and rebirth/revenge. Sometimes just game themed novels with little to no romance since the ones with romance fall victim to the "must have harem" disease.
