Romance overules mystery if there's a HEA
Mystery overrules romance if no HEA.
Horror overrules both.
Scifi overrules Horror unless horror is central element.
Fantasy overrules all other genres.
You can have a science fantasy romantasy horror mystery, & it will still be 'Fantasy' on store shelves.

Yep, got two emails recently that were definitely AI review scammers. Don't fall for it.
The new hotness is review spammers using "AI" to synopsize one's new novel to make it look they read your book and can offer you a useful service

Had a fantastic day at SacAnime selling books and meeting fans! Two delightful readers stopped by to tell me that they loved my book The Cultist's Wife! I sold it to them at the last anime event. I am chuffed to bits. #writerslife #animecon #indieauthor

Lesbian characters? How about a couple of milliners in 1880s France? One is a runaway noble, the other a working class girl. #sapphicromance It's my WIP Her Runaway Lady.

I hope enough people do this to send a message to the oligarchs. There are more of us than them. We have the ultimate power by not purchasing their stuff.
This will not be the first economic blackout or the last. But it's a place for new people to start, and for others to continue their boycott.
Eat. The. Rich.
