Dark Sci-Fi setting would be fun to read, and also as a reader there not a lot of novels that is Dark Sci-Fi. As interesting it can be to read I think it will be as challenging to write.

Depends. I have always been a fan of Greek mythology since I was young, so most enjoyable stories I read contain drama, but there is a limit. I'm not a big fan of sad or bad endings. Bittersweet is more my style. I tend to enjoy cunning villains that are ruthless but also rational enough to see the writing on the wall (Tywin Lannister, Roose Bolton, Saren Arterius, Hans Landa, The Governor); when you are the villain but with amnesia (KOTOR 1); when the villain is among the protagonist's inner circle (Solas) and a particular liking of a family member usurping a crown from their sibling and the following struggle to keep everything from falling apart.

Thank you for your suggestion! I'm intrigued by the idea of a Dark Sci-Fi setting, and you're right – there aren't many novels in that genre, which makes it even more appealing to explore. However, I'm excited, and eager to push the boundaries of my writing. I'm excited to write a novel about that.

Hey, thanks for sharing your thoughts! Greek mythology rocks. Drama is right up my alley too, but I'm with you – sad or bad endings can be a bit of a downer. Bittersweet is the sweet spot for me too, it keeps things interesting! I'll make sure that this insight will be implemented, and surely help to shape our novel.

Innu mythology has some interesting characters, like the Caribou Master and Matshishkapeu, the Spirit of Flatulence

And noticing you have Japan as your country, and the previous suggestion of dark sci-fi, I couldn't help but be reminded of Samurai Jack.

I wonder how one could go about transmitting the feeling the art style expresses in words!

Thank you for sharing that fascinating information! Innu mythology indeed sounds incredibly rich and filled with intriguing characters like the Caribou Master and Matshishkapeu, the Spirit of Flatulence. I'm grateful for the inspiration, and I can't wait to delve deeper into Innu mythology and incorporate some of these unique elements into my work.

Fantasy stories that have a compelling story and a setting that really says "another world". Nowadays when people say fantasy it's mostly just a medieval town with adventures with big and aggressive animals. Characters with amazing personalities also help me like the story and of course, the villains I like it when I can relate with the villain.
