What are yours Best have thing(s) that you, as a reader, want in a book?
Being it fantasy or sci-fi ones.
Is it world building, level of details of characters/things/places, the story itself, how you can relate to a (main) character, other?!
And if possible, why?
For me it tends to be the story itself, of course I can relate to a character, or to the incredible details of a place somewhere. But generally speaking, i’m more intrigued to know the context and the plots of the story the author wanted to give me.
I love the optional romance in any story to be honest. I could read the romance genre itself, but they are too focused on the, well, romance between characters which is quite obvious because it was intented to be written like that. The other books have range of genres and different plots, but when characters have good chemistry with each other, especially romantic one, I tend to like it much more than if I was reading it just for the story itself.
Oh, and funny scenes as well. They are nice when they happen.
