What each result means

Thriller
Restless, sharp and allergic to slow starts. You need momentum, stakes and a chapter that ends with a door slamming. You read at 2am with a torch because one more chapter is a moral obligation.
Fantasy
You want a whole world, not a plot. Maps, invented languages, moral weight and a slow burn. You are loyal to worlds you love, and you explain magic systems to friends who did not ask.
Mystery
You read with a pencil. You suspect the narrator, you note the timeline, and you are smugly right in chapter nine. Fair play, small clues and a clever close — that is your idea of a good week.
Romance
You are here for the ache. Chemistry, tension, the almost-kiss and the earned ending. You know exactly what you like, you recommend it loudly, and you have no shame about the last page first.
Science Fiction
Curious, big-picture, slightly impatient with small talk. You like ideas with consequences: one changed rule, then a careful look at what it does to people. Speculative, yes — but it has to make sense.
Memoir
You trust lived experience over theory. Real voices, real mess, no neat lesson forced on the ending. You borrow other people's lives to understand your own, and you remember details for years.
